C., THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1924 Vanderburg Died Last Night In Hospital Here - Wounds Received by No. 9 Farmer When Shot Tues day Night at Home of Mar tin Bost Proved Fatal. BOST ToTpLEAD SELF DEFENSE He Makes No Statement But It Is Understood From Re port That He Charges Van derburg Attacked Him. Jesse Vanderburg, farmer of No. 9 township, who was shot Tuesday night at the home of Martin Bost, his neigh bor. died in the Concord Hospital last night. Bost, who surrendered to Sheriff Caldwell yesterday morning, is being held in the coifhty jail. Vanderburg never fully recovered from the effects of the two wounds whieh he received in the shooting. One bullet passed through his right leg and the oth er entered the chest just under the chin, passed through the right lung, pierced the third right rib and lodged in the right arm near the elbow. This bullet, it was determined at the autopsy which was performed by Coroner Joe A. Hart sell, broke Vonderburg’s right arm, it being believed before the autopsy that the arm had been broken when the wounded man fell. Bost has made no statement so far, it is said, and Vanderburg died without giving any light on the cause of the shooting. Bost does not deny the shoot ing, and it is reported that he claims •self defense. Coroner Hartsell. Sheriff Caldwell and a representative of The Tribune and The Times visited the Bost home this morn ing but they were not able t 6 gather any facts that had not already been brought to light. They were told by persons at the Bost home that Bost shot when Van derburg attacked him with an axe. The axe was found lying near the back porch of the home where VaUderburg’s body was found Tuesday night. The officers also detected two small blood spots on the porch but they were unable to find any other signs of blood. They made the search for the blood, it is believed, with the idea of establishing where the shooting occurred. - I-t was reported that the officers were not able to find any traces of blood near the porch. when Vanderburg apprbnched. Vander burg received the bullets while on the ground and staggered to the porch, ac cording to this version. There were no eye witnesses to the tragedy, so far as is known, but several persons who have been questioned declared Bost told them Vanderburg attempted to cut him with the axe. After making the investigation at the Bost home this morning Coroner Hart-j sell summoned a number of witnesses to be examined this afternoon at the cor-; oner’s inquest. The inquest was called for 2 o’clock this afternoon at the Bell & Harris parlors where Vanderburg’s body was carried last night. While Bost has made po statement it is generally understood that he will en ter a plea of self-defense. His lawyers also declined to discuss the case with a newspaper man this morning. But there is every reason to believe that he will stake his defense on the claim that Vanderburg threatened him with the axe. When Sheriff Caldwell first started an investigation he could find no one who was willing to talk, but dur ing yesterday and todpy, it is said, a number of persons have volunteered the information that Bost shot Vanderburg as the latter approached with an axe. It is generally supposed that Bost told these facts to these persons. Vanderburg died without making a statement of any kind so far as is known. If the dead man said any thing to clear up the matter the officers have not made it public. Vanderburg is survived by his wife, several children and other close rela tives. The case has furnished the topic of conversation for hundreds of persojis dur- Jjpg the past two days. Little groups bf persons have been seen standing around the court house and in every in- ji 1 ' ANNOUNCEMENT! 11, ! !

The coroner’s jury is expected to ren der a verdict charging Bost with the i killing, and in that case he probably will , be held in jail without bond. It is also intimated in well inforihed circles ! that he probably will waive a prelimin j ary hearing, as'Jfe does not intend to fight the charge that he shot Vander burg. At such a hearing he could only be bound over to court for if he plead self defense, as he is expected to do, the magistrate at the preliminary hearing could not have jurisdiction. John M. Oglesby has been retained to assist the State with the prosecution and the defense has retained Crowell and Crowell and Hartsell and Hartsell. Funeral services for the deceased will be held tomorrow morning at 11 o’clock at Cold Springs Church.
