Abstract:
General Bryan Grimes had seven horses shot out from underneath him in the Civil War, but he was not killed in battle. In 1880 William Parker assassinated Grimes four miles outside his plantation in Pitt County. Grimes's neighbor Howell Paramour had paid Parker to commit the murder as an act of revenge. After a mistrial, the case was moved to Williamston, and the accused were set free. Parker was later lynched after bragging about getting away with the crime.
