- Man Killed After Committing Murder
- After the tragic death of Farmer Curley's wife, it seems like her killer has been brought to justice through his own untimely death. Lennie Small, a migrant worker met his end at the hands of his friend George Milton. When briefed, Milton would not give much of an answer, stating only that it was in everyone's best interest. This comes just a few days after Small was said to have had a scuffle with Curley himself, breaking the other man's hand. In investigating Small's past, he and Milton found it difficult to hold a job for a long period of time, as many have seen during these hard times. It is still unclear whether the murder of Curley's wife was intentional or not without cooperation from Milton and the other farmhands. As more details come to light, rest assured that we will relate them to you.
