From all appearances, and it is supported by statements of George Stalvey, the woman coming out of the alley almost directly in front of the car, stepped a little to her left, toward the rear of the drug store. the car was facing her. She opened fire. One shot rang out followed by a gasp and gurgle as Alma Horne or Finklea died. four shots in quick succession took effect in Joe Stalvey's body.
[Edited portion shooting details]
Joe Stalvey is a carpenter by trade and is about 28 years old. the dead woman, Alma Horn or Finklea, for she is said to be the wife of Logan Finklea, now serving a term in the south Carolina penitentiary, was said to have been 19 years old. Lillie Stalvey appears to be 27 or 28 years of age.
The Horn home on Zig Zag street presented a scene of sorrow last night. Grouped about the front of the home were neighbors, awed by the tragedy, speaking only in whispers. Inside the mother in a screaming hysterical voice, prayed. Not so long ago the only son of the family was killed by a train near Spartanburg on his way home.
[Edited portions relates Lillie Stalvey family info]
Surviving the dead woman are her parents, Mr. and Mrs. E. M. Horn of 857 Zig Zag street, with whom she made her home, and three sisters, Mrs. Nellie Hiburn and Mrs. Lucille Hoover, both of Columbia, and Mrs. Ruth Tolison of Surrency, Ga.
She is said to have been married four years ago to Logan Finklea, who also survives.
