THEY WERE AFTER ASA LANGFORD
He did not know why they were after Asa Langford so. Once he came
through here in a wagon and they thought he was going to Snell’s. For
some reason G-- and P-- started out to kill him, but he avoided them. He
didn’t know why. That they told Mr. Williams to establish an alibi, and
that he and Bill Fuller rented a poker hall, locked the door, and would
have sworn they were in there all the time.
Langford was probably tried at Gatesville for killing the boy over the
horse race. It was a bad thing. Evant is mostly in a corner of Coryell
County, and touches Hamilton County on the north and Lampasas County on
the south at Gholson’s gap.
