Sheriff Panther won the fourth
and final round by a split desision
Wednesday. A compromise was
reached by the sheriff’s attorneys
Redden and Redden with the citi
zens group represented by Solici
tor Ridings, John J. Mahoney Jr.,
of Shelby and R. L. Whitmire Jr.,
of Hendersonville. The agreement
gives the sheriff the right to re

sheriff has already signed his resig

county commissioners deem he has
violated the agreement. In giving
the decision Judge Nimocks stat

honesty and integrity, but that he
had been indiscreet concerning in

be a moral leader and example
in the county. “Put a check on

Henderson Jury Called
To Hear Story Case
Judge Q. K. Nimocks, presiding
over the Fall term of Polk Coun
ty Superior Court, heard a mo
tion to have jurors from some
other county called in to hear
the criminal action against C. O.
Story. The order directed that 50
citizens from Henderson County
be brought to Polk County to try
mis case on Wednesday, Sept. 2.
It is reported that this case
is one in which C. O. Story is
alleged to have assaulted James
Johnson. Story was a member of
the Board of County Commission
ers until December, 1952. Johnson
is Tax Supervisor for Polk County.
It is also reported that this
trouble arose when Story went
into the office of the Tax Super
visor and asked him why he had
“raised his taxes three or four
times above the amount of tax
value placed on the property bv
the regular Tax Appraisers,” and
that Johnson called Story a “liar
and a thief.”
A fight resulted, and Story is
now being tried for assaulting
Johnson'.
Following the fight Johnson al
so brought a civil action against
Story asking for $50,000 damages.
The civil action will not be
heard at this term of court.
