The dead is Jim Williams, manager of a filling station near Coal Creek. The confessed killer is Baudy Hennegar, a taxi driver, according to Sheriff Smith of Anderson County, who said Hennegar admitted the slaying. According to the story, Williams and George Alderson were in the G & W Cafe in Coal Creek Sunday night, talking. Hennegar came in. "What have you got your thumbs in your vest for?" Hennegar asked Williams, as he came up. "It's my vest", Williams was quoted as saying. A few more words were passed and Hennegar drew a pistol, firing four times. One bullet struck Williams in the heart, two others hit him, the fourth went wild. After the shooting Hennegar went down the street. It is said he fired into the ground in front of the Coal Creek Jail and that Chief of Police J. M. Shelton came out and arrested him. A warrant charging Hennegar with murder was sworn out by Francis Williams, mother of Jim, was said to be prostrated with grief at her home. Williams was about 25 years of age and Hennegar is 30. There was said to have been a dispute between the two before. (contributor Larry & Edie Doepel)
