Jailer, in Own Home, Slair
By Former Prisoner
By the Associated Press
LEWISBURG, W. Va„ Aug. 1 —
A former prisoner armed with
three pistols knocked on a county
jailer’s door last night, then killed
i him with four shots in the face.
The assailant in turn was shot
down, fatally wounded, but also
wounded the second officer before
;he dropped.
State Police Sergt. M. C. Yoak
said a man identified as George
: Bartgis, about 65, shot Jailer Lago
Sheppard, about 55.
Policeman Jonnie Bethel, who
was locking up a prisoner in the
Greenbrier County jail, turned and
'fired on Bartgis, fatally wounding
him.
Police records show, Sergt. Yoak
said, that Bartgis was convicted
'of murdering a woman 18 years
ago. He served about 14 years
time before being released in 1947.
Bartgis recently had served a 60
day sentence in the Greenbrier
County jail on a drunk and dis
orderly charge, but there was no
motive known for the attack on
I Mr. Sheppard.
Property Owners Asked
To Get Rid of Weeds
Property-owners here have been
asked by William H. Cary, jr., to
rid the community of weeds.
An act of Congress requires this,
he pointed out, but the District
does not have enough inspectors
to check every place in the Dis
trict.
“From time to time, at this sea
son of the year, we receive many
complaints from residents to do
j something about enforcing the
I law that ragweed and other weeds
be removed,” Mr. Cary said.
I “Especially is this true now that
we are approaching the ragweed
season. Though it usually comes
or reaches its height about Au
gust 15, the hot, dry weather of
the past month may advance the
season.”
