BEDFORD MAIL BEDFORD, INDIANA FRIDAY, APRIL 12, 1901 HARD TO DRIVE. Walter Correll, a prominent young man of Odon, was murdered there Thursday, April 4, about nine o'clock during a fight between some country boys and a crowd of young men from Odon who were attempting to run them out of town. It seems that a crowd of young men from the country near Odon were in the city to attend an entertainment and a number of Odon boys were attempting to run them out of the town. The country boys among whom was Harley Lamb refused to go and a fight between the two crowds ensued in which Lamb drew a knife and cut the throat of Correll, severing the artery. He was carried into the barber shop in front of which the fight occurred and a physician summoned, but before anything could be done he had bled to death. Lamb was immediately arrested and held for the murder. Prosecutor J. Alvin Padgett was notified and left at noon for Odon. Lamb employed Gardiner & Slimp and Hasting, Allen & Billhelmer to defend him and they went to Odon at noon to attend the inquest. Correll, the murdered boy, is about twenty-one years old and is the son of Mr. and Mrs. George Correll. He works in his father's monument shop as a stone mason. He is a popular young man and had never figured in any trouble before. Harley Lamb, who is charged with the murder, is the son of Clark Lamb, a prominent Madison township farmer, living about a half-mile southwest of Odon. He was in trouble once before, having been in a fight at a schoolhouse. He is about eighteen years of age. ******************** The killing of young Walter Correll, of Odon, by a country boy who was smarting under the taunts and insults of a crowd of town lads, will probably stop that contemptible practice in Odon for a time at least. And it is well; for there are few habits that a town boy is liable to be infected with that are more utterly mean and unpardonable than that of ridiculing and attempting to belittle his country cousin, who is his equal in everything that goes to make up a gentleman and a citizen even if his clothes and manners are not cut in the latest styles, and he is not up-to-date in slang, cuss words and other urban accomplishments. And the fact that this ungentlemanly "guying" and annoying of seventeen-year-old Harley Lamb by his tormenters led to the fatal fight will give him a defense that will be hard to defeat. – Washington Herald. ********************* Harley Lamb, the young man who killed Walter Correll at Odon Thursday night in a fight, has been released on a $5,000 bond. We are informed that the bond contains ten names of the most prominent men of Daviess county, and among them is the name of an uncle of the murdered man, and who is said to be worth about $50,000. The friends of young Lamb will fight the case to the bitter end.
