I'm really baffled by the lack of immediate legal action against Charles Millis regarding the death of Agent Barbrey. It’s deeply troubling to think about how things might have been overlooked or mishandled in such a serious case. Especially during the Prohibition era, you would think that an attack on a federal agent would spark more urgent consequences or, at the very least, a thorough investigation. Does anyone have any insight into how law enforcement might have operated back then, particularly in rural areas like Pender County? Was it common for there to be delays in arresting suspects, even in cases involving the murder of an agent? My heart goes out to Agent Barbrey's family—especially his wife and children—who had to go on without seeing justice served swiftly. It must have been incredibly frustrating and painful for them.

I've been diving into the details around the tragic death of Herman Sutton Barbrey, and something that's really stuck with me is the lack of immediate legal action against Charles Millis. It's so bewildering and frustrating to think that after such a brazen and deadly attack, justice wasn't immediately sought. I can't imagine the pain and confusion this must have caused for his widow, Ruby, and their three children. It makes me wonder about the legal system back then—were there just too many loopholes, or was it something else entirely? It's a harsh reminder of how times have changed, though sadly, justice delayed seems to remain a theme even today. If anyone has more insight into how these cases were typically handled back then or any historical context that might shed light on why this happened, I'd love to hear it.
