Wilson, N.C., Nov. ??—Policeman Lloyd Lucas shot and killed Howard Jacobs, negro, last night at the store of Jack Wells in this city. The officer had been called to Wells’ store to quell a disturbance. The policeman claims that when he ordered Jacobs to hold up his hands, the negro made a move as if to draw a pistol. Lucas fired, killing the negro instantly. A coroner’s inquest held this afternoon exonerated Lucas.
From the front page of The Hickory Daily Record, Monday, Nov. 27, 1922. The newspaper said the story was from Nov. 82, which of course is impossible. That’s why I used ‘??’ for the date.
