Ed Edmundson Charged With Murder, Not Alonzo Greenfield, Oct. 28, 1922

Three Charged With Murdering Albert Farmer. . . Coroner’s Jury Holds Edmundson, Charlie Farmer and Greenfield Negro

Mount Olive, Oct. 27—A coroner’s jury resuming and completing investigations into the killing of Albert Farmer, a white farmer two miles north of here last Sunday night, sitting here this afternoon, held Ed Edmundson, one of the men alleged to have been shot by the Greenfield negro at the time it was claimed that Greenfield killed Farmer, as the slayer of farmer, and Charlie Farmer, brother of the dead man, as an accomplice, and Alonzo Greenfield, the negro first charged with the killing as a state’s witness. All three were committed to jail to await the next term of Wayne Superior court. Attorney A.S. Grady, in the absence of the coroner, was instructed by Clerk of Court Hooks to act as coroner. Quite a number of witnesses had been summoned for today’s hearing, and the investigation lasted several hours.
