were shot to death today as the cul-
mination Of q quarrel in which three
families participated The shooting oc-
CURED in front of the Wright home
about 80 miles south of here on Three
Mile Greek.
A coroner's jury returned q vedict
that Wright was killed by Branham
and that Branham met his death at the
hands of a person unknown. Charles
Ray, q neighbor, was held in the Pike
County jail for investigation and officers
were seeking Henry Branhan, cousin
o. the slain man.
Son Of bad John"
Sam Wright, who had a reputation
as a law-abiding man In this vicinity,
was the son of bad John" Wright who
as a peace officer in the Kentucky and
Virginia mountains many years ago
killed upward of 80 men. bad John
Wright was an intimate friend of the
novelist, John Fox, jr., who used him
rs a prototype for one of his famous
characters, Devil Jack Tolliver," in his
novel, THE Trail Of the Lonesome
Pine"
According to the story told by par
Elephants in the quarrel, Wright's wife
and Mrs. Sarah Ray, a neighbor, be-
came involved In an argument over a
trivial matter in the front yard of the
Wright home. Mrs. Ray told Bran
hams young son to Ego after her hus-
band, and few minutes later Ray and
Branham, distantly related, approached
the home.
Wright, meanwhile, had come out of
his house and was attempting to sep
arate the two women. Ray, they said,
Branham fired, the bullet passing
through Wright's head and killing him
instantly. In a few minutes another
shot rang out and Branham dropped
dead in the road, a bullet through his
head also.
Search for Cousin.
No one was able to say who fired the
shot, and the Wrights and Branhams
disagreed as to whether Henry Bran
ham, Melvin's cousin, was participant
In the quarrel. They said, however,
that Henry owned a .32-caliber pistol,
the same caliber as the bullet taken
from his cousins head.
