As ,a result of a quarrel over a mess of greens, Elmer Crume is dead at his home near Brulington, in Gass county. Spencer Crume, elder brother of the murdered man, fired the fatal shot. The tragedy occurred at about 7 o’clock, just after the two brothers and their father had left the table where they had partaken of their evening meal. 'Spencer Crume was recently divorced and had been making his home with has father. The two brothers had never been able to agree. The argument which led to the fatal shooting was over a mess of greens served at the everting meal and one of the men made a remark about them. The argument led to blows and the father stepped in between the brothers. Spencer entered a room and a few . minutes later emerged with a shotgun. He raised the gun to his shoulder and fired, the full charge of shot entering the murdered man’s face just above the right eye. Crume was lodged in a Kokomo jail.
