Believed Murdered By Unknown Parties
The body of Homer Bazemore, Taylor County deputy sheriff was found at an early 
hour Saturday morning lying face downward in a pool of blood with a bullet 
hole in the center of his forehead.  His .38 calibre pistol was found a few 
feet from the body of the dead deputy with one emptied cartridge.  It was 
first believed that Mr. Bazemore had taken his own life but developments later 
indicated that he had been murdered.

His body was found on the concrete platform which is a part of Cox's warehouse 
and had apparently been dead only a short time.  A coroners jury empaneled and 
presided over by Judge J.T. Adams recessed from Saturday until Monday morning 
at which time it is said the jury rendered the verdict that Mr. bazemore came 
to his death at the hands of parties unknown.

Mr. Bazemore has been connected with the sheriff's office for about five years 
and was known as an excellent officer.  Funeral services were held Sunday 
afternoon at Antioch church.

Mr. Bazemore is survived by his widowed mother, four brothers and three 
sisters.
