Gloria, I do not know is first name but it sounded like Asa. The gentleman who told me this was well into his 80's and I had my northerner ears on. I didn't want to ask him again as it seem to distress him. He stated that when James was on his death bed he told that the person that killed ?Castle..she was still alive. That it was Mrs. Castle. Next time I go hunting I will take a tape recorder. It is to hard to write and listen too.
