Slaying at Lam Home Highlights Jealousy Motive
Police questioned a dozen partygoers as details emerged from the Calhoun murder. Calhoun was shot at 12 08 am in front of the Lam house and died at Rockingham Memorial Hospital at 12 53 am. A 25 20 automatic pistol used two shots, one to the heart and one to the elbow, with two empty shells found in vehicles. Clinton Ray, 16, drove the car used, owned by Mr. and Mrs. P. H. Carr, and was said to be in the house when the shots rang out. The investigation centers on jealousy amid an inebriated crowd, with Lam found asleep later and moonshine found at the scene. Police guard a key clue awaiting tomorrow’s check.
