friendship of Damon and Pythias, long ago, was not surpassed by the love and affection these twin workers of iniquity bore each other. VV. S. Gambrel, a mild republican, and generally beliked by the good white people, was State Senator when Hal Dawson was killed and Gilmer set his covetous eyes upon the office as a reward for bloody service. It was easy for them to do, and poor Gambrel " was shot by some person in hiding by the road side, " and thus was made the vacancy in the State Senate for ...Gilmer to fill as his reward for killing Hal Dawson. In killing Gambrel they accomplished two desirable ends — they got rid of a man who refused to become an accomplice in their villainies, and made the way clear to reward a favorite. A young man by the name of Floyd was killed in his store, in 1873, by a hired assassin. The murderer was arrested, but Chisolm was sheriff and permitted him to escape. The murderer rode away a gray pony furnished by McClellan, the "British subject. " He took up and staid awhile in Jasper County, and in a drunken spree told the tale, and then left for parts unknown.
