PARAGOULD -- William Stepp, aged 50 years, former manager of a farm for H. W. Woosley, in the Stanford section, 12 miles west of this city, was indicted by the Greene county Grand Jury yesterday afternoon on two counts charging him with murder in the first degree, the outgrowth of the killing of Everett Piety and son, Noble, tenants on the Woosley farm, Thursday, June 25. The men were shot down with a shotgun during a quarrel between the elder Piety and Stepp over the division of a hay crop. Following the double killing, Stepp came to Paragould and surrendered to Sheriff J. B. Farrell. He has been in the county jail since. Stepp alleged Piety and his son had attacked him.
