Rons- sean in Mayor’s court thjs .moim- ing for his part in tl» ctilting scrape which caused so much ex» citement in the city Saturday. The affray in which EJarl Dun can, of Wilkesboro, Route 1, was stabbed iir the left side, took place on the square, comer of Ninth and “B" streets. The excitement was caused by the fainting of Duncan just before he was carried to the Wflkes Hos pital. It was reported on the streets all afternoon that Duncan was dead or not expected to live. The knife wound received by Duncan, however, was not serious and he was able to leave the hos pital for his home within a short time. Staley, who pleaded dnmken- ness when he was placed on trial this morning, apparently had had no words that would indicate that he intended violence when he stabbed Duncan. The two- men ware standing close to each other as if playing and witnesses thought Staley was merely playing when he brandished his knife and placed it against Duncan’s side. Seeing blood and observing Dun can as he fainted, the crowd which gathered at the scene gave out the word that the man was seriously injured. Staley was immediately placed under arrest and carried to the city jail.
