LOL!

Hang your head, Tom Dula,
Hang down your head and cry,
You killed poor Laurie Foster,
And now you're going to die . . . .

Have you read Who Fears the Devil?? Good book.

Oh, yes. I had the whole Wellman oeuvre, many moves ago. So atmospheric.

Have you ever heard Doc Watson talk about that story? Doc's grandma new those kids. The way she tells it, there was 2 guys and 2 gals - Tom Dooley and Mr. Grayson were involved with both gals.

Tom Dooley said Annie Melton stabbed Laura and Tom covered up.

Years later Doc's grandma said she was the next room when Annie Melton died. The women in the room said there were sounds coming from Annie's bedroom that sounded like hot stones tossed into cold water and the flames of h#ll. Annie told the women that if she didn't get well again, she had something to tell them.

She told her husband the secret right before she died, and he was said to have lost his mind.
