A.C. Ketchen, Robbed and Shot Through Chest, Aug. 5, 1922

Passed Good Night

By the Associated Press

Carthage, N.C., Aug. 5—A.C. Ketchen, who was shot through the chest and dangerously wounded early yesterday by three negroes who robbed him and attacked his wife, passed a fairly comfortable night, it was stated at the McConnel hospital today.

Mr. and Mrs. Ketchen and their infant child were on their way by automobile from Miami, Fla., to their old home in Connecticut when the three negroes attacked them. Relatives from Hartford, Conn., are expected in a few days.
