Jonah McGraw was stabbed and seriously wounded Saturday night by his brother-in-law, Pink Sherrill, on the carnival grounds near the West Hendersonville station. He is in the Patton Memorial hospital with knife wounds in the abdomen, but it is reported his chances are good for recovery. Sherrill is held without bail in jail here, awaiting the outcome of the victim’s condition.
Sherrill was arrested by Policeman Clarence Edney. Officers said both men were intoxicated, and that the quarrel was the culmination of a jealousy that had existed between the two men.
