Newport/Covington must have been some kind of place back then. Gene Trimble used to talk about his time running clubs back in the day. He used to say they had a fight break out every night, and twice on the weekends.

In the article, the woman was shot by her ex-husband, so I think its likely it was not just about gambling. When questioned by the police, the victim just said, "We both got mad. It was just one of those things."

Sounds like one of those "Covington things"!
