In 1914, Lowe Daniels lived in the Uwharrie forest. He made his living making and selling whiskey. One day he came home from a trip and out of nowhere,  shot his wife, his wife's seventeen year old sister, his seventeen year old sister and a sixteen year old neighbor boy.  After he'd finished his killing spree, Lowe took his banjo off the wall,  sat by the fire,  picked his banjo and sang until the sheriff came to arrest him.
