The hearing was brought to an abrupt close after one witness refused to answer @ number of categorical questions concerning the klan. | The story of the affair, as related by the then County Attorney James Mathers fn what he termed an outline of evidence, was that on the night of | December 15, a band of more than 60} men led by GC. G. Sims, local police] @etective, left here in automobiles to) “get Jce Carroll for alleged dealings | In filictt whiskey." They took with| them “buckets of tar and pillows of| feathers."’ After traversing the ofl field dis-| tricts to @ point a few miles outside| of Wilson, where Carroll lived, the/ band halted in a field and a commit-| tee of @ dozen or more men was asnigned to bring Carroll before the] gathering. They summoned Carroll to the door of his rude hut ana shot him down when they discovered he was armed. A hail of bullets was down on the masked men by members of his family and after the rpaurauders had taken to their auto- mobiles Carroll's body was picked up near his doorstep, John Smith of Wilson, who, accord- img to s2*tements of a confessed mem- ber of the band, was forced out of a sick bed and made to accompany the “oommittee” on its expedition, was found near Carroll’s home a few min- utes later. He had been wounded in the fight end later died in a hospital. the next day officers at the @rection of Jeff Smith, the confessed participant in the attack, went to the field and found 6ims' dead body. It was clad in a sult khaki overalls. A revolver end half filled whiskey bottle jay nearby.
