What Happened
Game Warden Bud Stuart was shot and killed by a 66-year-old man he had just arrested for hunting squirrels out of season in Boly Swamp, 10 miles southwest of Poplarville, Mississippi. He had the suspect follow him out of the woods. As they left the woods, the man fatally shot him with four blasts from his 12 gauge shotgun near the Sones Bridge on the Osborn Moody Road. The suspect was arrested, convicted of murder, and sentenced to death. The Mississippi Supreme Court ordered a new trial resulting in a manslaughter conviction on April 17, 1950. He was sentenced to 20 years and paroled on October 23, 1957. Game Warden Stuart was a U.S. Navy veteran of WWII.
