Beasley and McLamb were on the
way to Wilson with truck loaded
with tobacco. They were carrying
a single-barrel breech-loading shot
gun along with them. Beasley was
driving the truck while McLamb held
the gun. He had the gun between
his knees with his left forearm rest
ing over the muzzle. Just as they
were passing the Selma drug store
McLamb reached his right hand for
a package on the seat on his left
side. In some unaccountable way
the gun was discharged. McLamb's
left arm was shattered and some of
the shot grazed the right side of
Beasley's face and head, inflicting
slight wounds. About a dozen shot
perforated his hat brim. Beasley
stopped the truck Immediately and
the crowd that gathered took Nc
Lamb to DIR. l. w. tMayerberg's Office
near. by where DR.. Mayerberg and
DR.. Wick gave the man their atten-
tion.. They found that McLamb's s
arm was so badly shattered that it
would have to be amputated and he
was taken to the hospital at Smith
field for that purpose. Mr.. Beasley
was able to go on his way.
McLamb is tenant on the farm
of young Beasley's father and the
two men were going to Wilson to
sell a load of tobacco. They took
the gun along for protection, having
heard of the numerous robberies and
hold-ups that have taken place.
