WITNESS TELLS OF KILLING AFTER FLOYD POKER GAME

A neighbor told a judge Thursday how a longtime dispute between two men ended with one being shot to death outside his house after a friendly poker game.

Peter H. Short, 72, testified about the night of Dec. 7 when three friends came to his house on Virginia 751 in the Indian Valley section.

After the game, he said, he heard a scuffle outside between his friend, Robie Gallimore, and two brothers, Roger and Clarence Huff.

Gallimore, 41, was shot six times and died leaning against his car. Roger Huff, 46, was charged with first-degree murder. The charges were certified to a grand jury. - New River bureau
