Add to My HeroesL. Pressley Reeves
Warden Reeves was shot to death while returning to his home near Reevesville by an assassin hidden by the roadside. All details point to a cold blooded murder without excuse, except that Warden Reeves had determined to enforce the law and had thereby incurred the hatred of certain criminals.
Warden Reeves had left his home about dark to carry a load of cotton pickers to their homes. About an hour later, Warden Reeves was found dead in his wagon. He had been shot in the head with buck shot.
A warrant was never issued in this case, although there was strong circumstantial evidence pointing to the murderer.
Warden Reeves was survived by his wife.
