Plow Up Body of Baby in Caldwell

Hickory, May 10—When a man plowed up the body of a three-days’ old baby on his farm in Caldwell county late Saturday afternoon, things began getting hot in Lenoir. Sheriff Sherrill was called and after an investigation, the method of which was not made public, he arrested and jailed one Burg Nelson of that county. Sheriff Sherrill said he expected to make another arrest within a few days.
