A detailed account of the killing of Chester Tullos, written by Eugene Tullos, an attorney at Raleigh, MS, was printed in one of the newspapers about a year ago. A copy was sent to me but I've mislaid or lost it. It ran in the Smith County Reformer (Raleigh) or the Clarion-Ledger (Jackson), I forget which. I believe he was employed by the State Pentitentiary at Parchman, MS, as an assistant warden, but my memory is faulty and I could be in error. I was nine years old when this killing took place. Chester Tullos was a very courageous man, and I suspect that his disdain or contempt for special precautions when around potentially dangerous men may have been his undoing. Harold Hopkins

The story was in The Smith County Reformer, published in Raleigh. There may have also been a story in the Clarion-Ledger that I didn't see. You can contact The Reformer for old copies. George Stuart.
