Year After Assault

Two-year-old James Kenncy Wal
burn, whose father was sentenced to
IS months in the House of Correction
for assautng him, died last Friday,
Nay rs, at University hospital, Bal
timore.
The boy died after brain oper-
alton, his fourth since he was at
tackled in a cabin on Deep Creek
Lake in October, 1919
The father, James Roscoe Walburn,
a former insurance salesman from
Martinsburg, W. Va, drew the sem
tence in March in the Garrett county
Circuit Court.
DR.. Russell Fisher, medical ex-
aminer, said after an autopsy, that
death was due to delayed effects of
the beating" He said that in his re-
port to the States Attorney he would
list the specific cause as late effects
of trauma to the brain"
Walburn had two trials. At the
first trial in March, 1850, the mother,
Mrs. Therese j. Walburn, testified
Walburn had attacked the baby in
cabin at Deep Greek Lake. She said
he had squeezed the 5-months-old
baby between his legs in AN attempt
to make it stop crying. She said Wal
burn also had struck and slapped the
boy.
Associate Judge Oliver II. Bruce
sentenced Walburn to eight years
after a jury found him guilty Of the
fifth count of am assault indictment.
A new trial was granted after coun-
sci contended the punishment was eX-
cessive.
Last March u Walburn again was
found guilty of assault and was sem
fenced by Associate Judge George
Henderson to IS months The jury
failed to find him guilty on four
other counts Of the indictment which
included assault with intent to kill,
MAIN, etc.
At the first trial DR.. Luis Manga
niello, neuro-surgeon at University
hospital, testified that the child was
blind and that parts of his brain
tissues had been destroyed as the re-
suit of blows.
Walburn had spent 262 days in the
Garrett county jail while awaiting
action ON his appeal for new trial,
and this amount of time was deducted
from his sentence.
w. Dwight Slower, States Attorney
for Garrett county, declared last Fri
day, upon learning of the child's
death, that no further action was
contemplated at this time against
Walburn, as more than year had
elapsed between the time of injury
and the death of the child.
