him"
How was It reported to YOU that
King was killed" Senator Overman,
democrat, North Carolina, asked.
Il have no direct proof" he said
but 1t Is my honest opinion he was
killed. A sergeant who was nearby
told me King was blown up with a
shell. I know he went into the battle
and never came out. Like many 9th
battle ended"
