John M. Stale/ Die* as Result
Deadly Assault.
Another crime that has stained the
record of southern Guilford came to
the knowledge of officers of the law
last Wednesday afternoon, when
John If. Staley, of Julian, was
brought to St. Leo's hospital desper-ately
wounded. He died at the hos-pital
shortly after midnight Thurs-day
morning, having never regained
consciousness from the time he was
assaulted Sunday afternoon.
There are several versions of the
crime-, the general opinion being that
Staley was assaulted during a quar-rel
over a game of cards Sunday af-ternoon.
The coroner's jury has
named Wade Coble as the murderer,
but others are believed to be impli-cated.
Mrs. Jake Coble, the mother of
Wade, Will Coble and a negro named
Albert Ryan are in jail, while offi-cers
are today scouring the country
around Julian for Jake Coble and
his son Wade. Yesterday a report
came to town that the two Cobles
were concealing themselves in a
dense body of woodland in the com-munity.
Sheriff Jones immediately
summoned all his deputies that could
be reached, and this morning a posse
left Greensboro for Julian, expecting
to be met there by the deputies of
southern Guilford.
A preliminary hearing had been
set before Squire Collins for this af-ternoon,
but it is understood that it
will be postponed until other arrests
are made.
of Strong Effort Being Made to Have
Jail Sentence Commuted.
Baxter Shemwell, formerly of Lex-ington,
who is supposed to begin a
jail sentence of five months in
Greensboro on April 1 for an assault
upon a Southern Railway conductor
with a pistol 18 months ago, is mak- .
ing an effort to have his sentence
commoted to a fine. The notice of
the application is signed by Dermott
Shemwell, a son of the defendant,
who has called on Governor Kitchin
several times recently in behalf of
his father and who passed through
Greensboro Monday night en route to
Raleigh on the same mission.
The application for a commutation
of the sentence is based on the al-legation
that the physical condition
of Shemwell is such that his life
would be endangered by confinement
in jail. It was upon similar repre-sentations
that Governor Kitchin
granted a reprieve in the case a
few months ago.
Several days ago two of the lead-ing
physicians of Greensboro, at the
request of Governor Kitchin, made
an examination of Shemwell in this
city. The report of their examination
has been forwarded to the governor,
and while the physicians refuse
to say anything for publication,
it is understood they found Shem-well
to be suffering from a weak
heart, a high pulse and a low tem-perature.
While the defendant was
found to be in a rather poor physical
condition, it is understood that the
report of the physicians does not
say that his health would be further
