J. SHADRACK GOES
WILD, SLAPS TWO
OFFICERS, WOMEN
Locks County Doctor In Jail
and Tries To Run Over
Sheriff Shuford
Jim Shadrack, went on a spree, a
tear, or a plain "something” here Sat
urday night, frightened women, hit
Deputy Sheriff Buck McCall, then
Sheriff George Shuford, and • in the
meantime locked Dr. C. L. Newland,
county physician, in Jail.
He was given preliminary hearing
before Justice of the Peace Fred Shu
ford Wednesday morning and bound
over to Superior court on two counts
of assault—complainants being Mrs.
F. L. Mallory and Mrs. Rud Phillips.
Mrs. Mallory testified that the man
frightened her at her home Saturday
night, and that she fled to a neighbors.
Mrs. Phillips said that Shadrack came
into her home, accompanied by his
mother, cursed and abused her, and
then struck her with his fist.
Sheriff George Shuford was called
to the PhillipsTiome on French Broad
avenue, and the “little bully” who Is
not more than five feet In height, put
up such a scrap that the sheriff had
to use pretty severe tactics to sub
due him.
Hater, while In his cell at tne coun
ty jail. Shadraek was being attended
to hy Dr. Newland and Deputy Buck
McCall. After a head wound had been
treated by Doctor Newland, the fight
ing, scrapping, miniature "bad man"
took a quick punch at Deputy McCall,
made a dive for the cell door and down
the stairs. Slamming the door behind
him, he locked it and tried for the
front door of the Jail, taking a bunch
of large cell keys off their hook as he
went.
However, the front door key is not
kept on the cell-block ring, and while
Shadraek was trying to make his
escape, Mrs. McCall telephoned Sheriff
Shuford, who went to the Jail.
As the sheriff opened the front
door, Shadraek struck him In the face
with the huge bunch of keys, and tried
to make his escape good. But the
sheriff managed to ward off the blow,
and took the "little bad man” back to
his cell.
In court Wednesday, Shadraek plead
guilty to the two assault charges,
made by the two women, and war
rants had not been sworn out by
Deputy McCalt or Sheriff Shuford. He
did not go on the stand, and inferred
from his statements In court that he
did not know what was going on dur
ing the Saturday evening melee. Bond
was set at $300 in each case, and he
was remanded to Jail.
