Green died of the injury that night. The Newbern Journal says: "Both men are married, and had been drinking. They helped make up a party of four to start on a hunting trip. Green is said to have been a desperate character and when drunk was quite crazy. As the report is, he was in Hudgins' yard and was cursing very badly. The family of Hudgins were withing hearing and Hudgins ordered him to leave the place. Green refused and upon continuing his bad language, Hudgins came upon him and struck him with his gun.
