It was murder mystery night for members of the Calhoun-Gilmer Writer's Guild, a who-done-it, who-deserved-it and how-was-it-done production, using the acting skills of guild members who arrived at the meeting in character.

The murder drama was conducted at the home of Kitty and Jeanne Wilson of Grantsville Friday evening, where a party was held for a fictional character who had just became a millionaire.

During the evening, one of the guests, "reporter" Mary Wildfire fell prey to foul play, her body discovered in the bedroom of the Wilson home, strangled.

The Sheriff, after a tedious investigation, charged Scott's gold digging girlfriend with the murder.
