SHERIFF IDENTIFIES
HIS SILENT PRISONER
CONTINUED from Page One)

Continued from Page One)
Church said that he was sitting
by the fire just after dark when
two men, whom he could not see
we'll enough to recognize, came
to the window and fired at him
with a pistol. One bullet struck
him in the leg and the other in
his back.
He said he got his single-bar-
rel shotgun and shot at the men
through the same window and
that one of them fell. He said
he got another shell and went
outside, but that they were gone
by the time he got out there.
His half-sister, Mrs. Sarah
Reece, with whom he has been
living for the past several years,
went to a neighbours house for
h l p. They live near Auto
Goodman's and Herbert Greer's.
Church was taken to the Wilkes
hospital and physicians there
state he has a good chance to pull
through all right.
Sheriff Miller and Deputy Sher-
if Walter Stringer searched most
all night Thursday for the un-
known gunner. They said they
found blood stains and a trail of
blood from the spot where
Church claimed he fired and on
up to the main highway, a dis
lance of about a mile. At that
point, officers said, they believed
the assailants got into a car.
The clue concerning the party
in Virginia developed Saturday
morning when Guy Denney
called Sheriff Miller's attention
to a news story that appeared in
the Bristol Herald Courier, stat
ing that man who had been
shot in the face with a shotgun
and who refused to give his iden-
tity or definite details concern
ing the shooting, walked into a
filling station at Wytheville, Va,
late Thursday night.
He told Wytheville officers that
he had been shot by a motorist
near HillSville and had caught
ride into town. First aid treat
ment was given by a physician
there who removed hand full of
small shot from his face and
neck. A state trooper later took
him to Bluefield hospital. Sheriff
Miller called the chief of police
at Bluef1eld and the man was re-
moved to Jail. He gave his name
as Herbert Lawson, but later ad-
mitted this was not his real name.
He said he did not know Church
and did not shoot him. Near the
spot where someone was sup

that it was completely 'inclosed.
He admitted he did not have a
ditch below the spring, but ex-
planned, water doesn't run up

can which was said to meet re-
quirements and declared that the
reason he did not have a GER
tificate posted was because the
department had failed to furnish
him with one.
A number of witnesses testified
that they thought his spring was
thoroughly sanitary in every re-
spect and that he has a first class
hotel, one of the best in this Sec
ton. Those taking the stand
were DR.. B. E. Reeves, DIR. R. c.
Ray, Sheriff Ed Miller, Field
Sheets, Walter Hamilton, Wade
Vannoy, Lem Hafer, Jess Reeves,
and Tom Doggett. Several of
them stated that they did not

serves.

posed to have been shot, Sheriff
lller found a gray felt hat,
through the brim of which a
small shot had passed on the left
side. Sheriff Miller said the hat
fit the man and that his face was
also shot on; the left side.

the criminal court of Mercer
county, Virginia, Monday morn

Herbert Lawson and Sheriff
Miller brought him back Monday.
Byrl Vsnnoy also went with him,
thinking perhaps he could iden-
lily the man. .... ....,,. ,.A ..y.-,. .,,,>..,.
Hours were spent in question
ing the prisoner, but he refused
to tell who he was until yester-
day when Sheriff Miller found
out and went to see his mother.
Sheriff stated that he is the son
Of Dave Blackburn, painter in
North Wilkesboro. Mrs. Black
burn told about the trouble her
son had gotten into and said he
had escaped prison. When con-
fronted with that news, the
young man admitted it, but still
denied shooting Church.
Sheriff Miller said that finger
prints of the blood stains have
been made and that he will hear
from them in a short time. He
said that he couldn't find any
reason as to why anyone would
shoot Church. His neighbors,
Sheriff declared, give him a
good name and say that he is a
quiet and peaceable sort of a
fellow.

shot me or why" Church told a
