K. G. Henderson

  K. G. Henderson, 28, of Zwolle, was pronounced dead on arrival
at Fraser Hospital, about 12 noon, Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 23,
from a self inflicted gun shot wound.

  The Sabine Parish Sheriff's office was notified that Henderson
was at the hospital, and Deputies Floyd Terrell, and Dub Jeter
went to the hospital. The returned to the courthouse with
Henderson's wife, Martha, who gave this story of the incident.

  She stated that she and Henderson had been separated, and he had
called her and wanted to come to her mother's home and talk to
her. She said that he came to the home of Mrs. Jake Rivers, and
talked to her. Mrs. Henderson said after she had talked a while,
Henderson wanted her to drive around with him, and talk alone.
They drove into the game reserve, located between Zwolle and
Many. Henderson is reported to have held the gun on Mrs.
Henderson, and threatened to shoot her. Mrs. Henderson said that
she told him, "Go ahead and shoot". She then reported to the
deputies that he said that he would "just show her how easy it
was", and then turned the gun, a 25 automatic, and pointed it at
his left side, and pulled the trigger. She said that she then
took the gun, with one spent shell, and two that had not been
shot, away from him, and started driving to get him to the
hospital. About midway, near David Ebarb's place, she said he
slumped over in the seat. It is believed that he died at that
time.

  It was ruled that he died of a self inflicted gunshot wound.
