It was supposed that the deed was committed by the Ku Klux Klan,and little effort was made to find the murderers,as the negro was a very bad character."

A history published 1895 states "Many who have been in attendance upon the sessions of the General Conference in recent years will remember the tall,courtly figure of a presiding elder from Mississippi,the Rev. L. J. Scurlock. A prominent worker on committees,thoughtful and dignified,he gained immediate attention whenever he obtained the floor in debate. For many years he occupied a leading position among the people of his own State,and in the Conference he exercised a commanding,yet gentle,influence. He has passed from the ranks of the Church militant to his place in the Church triumphant."
