Death of Charley Winston Casts Weldon in Mystery
Three days of county probing fail to pin Winston’s death on any single suspect. Officer Jack Thorne depicts a pistol blow at the Weldon station leading to an autopsy while Bruce Matthews and Willie Ivey face shifting testimonies. A drunken party at Matthews’ home fuels the case as officials seek a clear culprit amid multiple potential suspects and out-of-town visitors.
