Killer of Gainesville horse owner confesses after arrest
William Turner, a Black man, confessed to murdering wealthy horse owner F. C. Avery in Gainesville Florida, claiming Avery struck him with a ax in the stable. Turner buried Avery’s body in a shallow grave and later traveled to Washington with two valued thoroughbreds, trying to borrow money to ship them and sell at a fraction of their value. Police say Turner possessed two $3,300 horses and used Avery’s name on a prior ticket to travel.
