CATAWBA COUNTY MURDER Nedl Turner Shot and Killed by Robert Mr. Neal Turner, of I lie Lorny section whs shot and almost instantly killed Tuesday morning about one o'clock by Robert Keep, his companion lit the trilclt which he was driving through CJalawlin county cn .ronle to Burke county. Reep was captured litis morning by Sheriff Abernethy, of Lincoln county, and, was placed in th^'Cn-' tawha county jail. ' ?_ Turner had started to Rmkc county for,a load of; potatoes and farm produce when lie'picked up Ilecp in Catawba , county^ and gave him a ride.. WhiJC/.on the way it appears that he ah'rt'Rcep who is said to have been intoxicated got into a quarrel resulting ln tbc, Shooting Which caused Turner's death. [The bullet entered .his left side and caused death within thirty minutes afterward. Turner had been doing a farm produce business with people up in Burke county, and on this particular occasion was taking a load of hay to-some stock and intending to return i with a load of potatoes. The affair is supposed to have arisen j partly out of a shooting affair about! " ~ 1.111 It.. four years ago wncn Turner xua-u .ju - i litis Hoyle at iho home of William j Bradshaw in the Upper part of Lincoln j county. Turner was sentenced to the i penitentiary for this act for three years. He was paroled once or twlco-during hiu imprisonnicrtt, and upon -his good behavior was pardoned by Governor Bickett before his term in the penitentiary bad expired. Rcep Is said to have | been a friend of Hoyle whom Turner had killed some time ago, i and the quarrel which led to the shooting is thought to have arisen partly out of the former incident. When Rcep was captured he is said to have been about half drunk, and as there was no eye-witness to the incident. no further information as to the shooting could be secured other than that from Reep and physical evidences. In a statement made this afternoon by Young Turner, the 17-year-old son of the dead man, he states that he and Forrest Rcep, near whose home the party was camping for the night, were witnesses to the tragedy. The Turner, youth says he had been to Burke c'oun ty with his wagon and was on ms back and was met at Mull's Mill last night by his father and Robert. Reep. He says Rccp and liis father wcrft to bed side by side in the wagon. About 1 o'clock, lie says, Rcep woke un and told Turner that lie must get home before morning as he had some cotton to plant. Turner got up, presumably for the purpose of taking Rccp hack to his home, eight miles away. As lie stepped out on the single-tree the shot was tired. According !< young Turner there was no quarrel. He says lie had just dozed off and hoard the two men as they got up. His father's last words, he says, were, "He had no right to kill me."?Clastonia Gazette, Tuesday.
