Shot to Death by Deputy Sheriff

James and Luther Sizemore, cousins, were shot and killed late Sunday
afternoon By Deputy Sheriff David Elliott, of Bell County. The double
tragedy occurred in a soft drink resort at Four Mile, KY.
The Sizemore's had been drinking and Elliott attempted to arrest Luther
Sizemore, who had a pistol. Luther fired on the officer, who retaliated,
killing him. James Sizemore then attempted to secure the pistol of the
dead man, whereupon Elliott shot him also. Elliott's son was shot in the
leg and seriously injured. After killing the men Elliott went to their
homes and notified their wives and then surrendered to officers.
