After having shot and almost instantly killed Ed Culbertson, wood foreman of the Ritter Lumber Company at Edgemont, Bill Mooney, a log loader employed by the same company, built a fire and remained with his victim through the night, according to persons arriving in Hickory today from the lumber town.
The men were good friends and the killing is said to have been the result of a quarrel. Details of the killing were not learned, but passengers stated today that Mooney, as they left Edgemont, was sitting by the corpse.
