THE FLAGLER TRIBUNE
Bunnell, Florida
Thursday, April 3, 1924

What started as an argument of some kind between Archie Anglin and E. C. Cutts Monday afternoon, resulted in the death of Anglin. What appeared to be merely a slight misunderstanding between the men resulted in Cutts shooting Anglin seven times with a 32 automatic pistol

The tragedy occurred in front of the Busy Bee Café Monday afternoon about six o'clock, where Cutts was employed as a waiter. From the testimony of witnesses given at the coroner's inquest, after some words between Cutts and Anglin on the side walk, Cutts rushed into the restaurant with Anglin behind him and after entering the screen door, turned and fired at Anglin seven times, who was standing at the entrance. Dr. J. L. Johnson was immediately summoned to the scene and upon examination of Anglin pronounced him dead, death being instantaneous.

Cutts was taken in charge by Deputy Sheriff Gus Pellicer and left immediately after the shooting for Palatka where Cutts was placed in jail.
