Eight years ago, in Roane county, Clint
Laudermilk sat opposite his brother at q
gaming table. They quarrelled over the
cards, and drew their revolvers. His brother
"got the DROP on him and planted bullet
in the centre Of his forehead, crushing the
skull and lodging in the back of his head.
Three years later Clint Laudermilk was
sentenced to the penitentary in two cases
for larceny, and in one ease for horse-steal-
ing. His aggregate term was twenty one
years. He proved o good worker, and main
tanned quiet demeanor. He spoke only
when addressed. He answered the sick call
about once week, always complaining of
the headache.
Laudermilk came to Warden Blizzard a
few days ago and asked to be put into an
other cell, stating that he felt that he wanted
more air. This was the first time that he
had spoken to Warden Blizzard since the
latter had him in charge. His request was
granted. That night, in walking through
the corridors, Warden Blizzard heard Lau-
dermilk grooming and sent for DR.. Gibson.
The man had become delirious, and had been
butting his head against the walls of the cell.
He was carried into the hospital and lived
eighteen hours, but was unconscious until he
died.
Dr.. Turney and DR.. Gibson made post
norton examination. They found that the
ball had penetrated the anterior lobe of the
brain and rested about the center of the
middle lobe. It had carried with it o piece
of bone, as big as q mans thumb, from the
inner table of the skull. How no had lived
under the circumstances was wonder to the
physicians. Ordinarily, the shot would have
produced instant death.
