MAIN STREET OF CAMPTON SCENE OF FATAL SHOOTING		

Albert Halsey, about 26 of Campton, Ky. is being held in custody in the 
West Liberty jail for the shooting and killing of Frank Terrill, about 
fifty, of Bethany, KY, on the main street of Campton in front of 
Fletcher's Store, Monday, May 16, about 1:00 p.m. according to Sheriff Elmer 
Clark.

Allegedly the shooting was over previous trouble between the victim and 
the slayer.  Halsey claims that he shot in self defense, says Sheriff 
Clark.

Sheriff Clark said that Frank Terrill was shot twice through the body 
and died as a result of his wounds, before he arrived at the hospital.

The County Health Nurse, Bertie Center and her assisant, Irene Spencer, 
and also Mr. Kash Rose, who is a registered nurse administered 
artificial respiration to the victim after he fell in the street, some thiry 
feet from the place where he was shot.  But he was too far gone for it to 
do much good.  As no doctors were available, Hearne ambulance was 
called from Stanton and they started to Winchester to the hospital with 
Terrill, but he died before they reached Stanton, where the body was taken 
to Hearne's Funeral Home and prepared for burial then returned to his 
home on Holly, near Bethany.

Funeral services were held at the Tyra Cemetery on Wednesday afternoon, 
May 18 at 1:00 p.m. by the Rev. John Dalton.  Funeral arrangements were 
directed by Hearne Funeral Home.

Terrill is survived by his wife, two sons, Frank, Jr., of  Dayton, O., 
and George, at home and four daughters, one of whom is Mrs. George 
Elkins of Hazel Green.
