Wolf and Sunnyland were arguing on the way to a gig one
night. Sunnyland ended the argument by yelling, “Hey, I didn’t tell you that
when you chopped that man’s head off with a hoe!” Hubert Sumlin asked what he
was talking about. Sunnyland said, “I’m just telling it like it is. The
motherfucker did chop a man’s head off!” Shaken, Wolf stopped the car and
walked away. Taking Hubert home that night, Wolf told him it was true; he’d
killed someone. He’d gotten into a fight with a man and hit him with a hoe,
slicing the top of his head off and killing him instantly. Terrified, he ran
and hid in a drainage ditch while a posse hunted for him with hounds. The next
day, his fellow Masons helped him aboard a passing train and he fled the scene.
