As Tragedy
Is Realized
HIS HUSKY body was bunched
inside an old Army overcoat—more
In hide his misery than to ward off
the chilling wind
Gone WPre Juanita his 15-yearOld
he called Tootsie Ilis favor-
itos the infant in daughters
died too So did all his family
Gardner stamped his feet slap-
ped his hands together and ex-
claimed: "Lord Lord Lord!"
Vernon Love a farmer south of
Boswell broke the news to him
Gardner was hunting with a neph-
ew John (Sonny) Stewart—half-
brot her to two of the victims—
and another teen-ager Charles
Ware They covered the bottoms
in a horse drawn 2-wheel cart in
a fruitless hunt for 'coons
"THEY CAME up to my house
just couldn't fell him then" Love
explained Love told Gardner and
the boys to unhitch the horses and
go to town in his car
"I knew something was wrong
the way he talked" Gardner said
"I told him not to tell me I felt
sorta funny cooling home"
When they neared the house Love
told him
Love then picks up the conver-
sation: 'Ile was sitting there in the
back seat Ile grabbed me on the
shoulders and exclaimed 'Lord
don't tell me that's true'
GARDNER stood in a neighboCs
yard turning at intervals to peer
through the darkness toward the
chcred rums Friends wouldn't
!lim watch volunteers moving
the bodies
Later he sat huddled in a chair
at a neighbor's house — silent
head bowed work-calloused hands
running slowly together
Ile stared unseeingly at a wall
memories of his family written
across his face There was no
spark in his eyes
