The policemen had left Gray at an early morning hour to search for moonshiners in the southern part of the county. Twelve hours later their bullet riddled bodies were found at an abandoned mill near Haddock. Their bloodstained automobile was found nearby.
Nine men were arrested and charged with the murder of both officers.

They were accused of having entered into an agreement with a group of moonshiners to permit them to operate under police protection.
