Monday, 5 November 1934A former Covington man, alleged betrayer of a friend, lay dead today and his alleged slayer is in the Grant county jail at Williamstown, charged with murder.
Eugene Napier, 22, formerly of Garrard St., Covington, is the victim. His alleged slayer is Bill Clay, 38, of Grant county.
The two men, paroled convicts, had become bitter enemies over Clay's wife, according to authorities. Their enmity was climaxed yesterday by the shooting, which occurred at Clay's wife's home, four miles from Williamstown.
The two men had met while serving terms at the Kentucky State Reformatory. Clay had been sent up from Grant County to serve three years for shooting Herbett Souder, Williamstown. Souder, shot in the spine, is a permanent cripple.
Napier had been sentenced from Kenton Circuit Court on an auto theft charge. At the time of his arrest he gave the name of Evans Napier, records show.
When Napier was paroled from the prison a few months ago Clay asked him to go to his (Clay's) home to help his wife on the farm.
A few weeks later Clay was released on parole. When he came home, he told officials, he began having domestic trouble because of Napier, who, he claimed, had been living with his wife.
At the October term of Grant Circuit Court Mrs. Clay filed suit for divorce, and obtained a restraining order to prevent Clay from molesting her. When deputies served the papers on Clay they also ordered Napier out of the county, it was stated.
Napier left, but shortly afterward returned secretly and again took up quarters with Mrs. Clay, officials were told. Napier remained in the house to keep his presence a secret, it was said.
Clay was prowling around the farm Sunday morning when Napier came out of the house to get wood from a nearby woodpile. As he neared the pile he encountered Clay, who jerked out a .45 automatic pistol and began firing.
Napier turned and ran, but fell dead at the door of the house, bullet wounds in his neck, back and through one lung. Any one of the wounds would have been fatal, according to officials.
Dr. C. M. Eckler, Williamstown physician, was summoned to the scene. He pronounced Napier dead and notified Sheriff Reuben Taylor. Deputies arrested Clay at the home of a neighbor. He surrendered quietly.
The gun had not been found, Clay told authorities he threw it away following the shooting.
Napier, officials said, is survived by a grandmother, living in Covington, and by one brother, who lives at Beattyville, Ky. Funeral arrangements have not been completed.
