Asheville, Aug. 30—S.C. Plemmons, merchant of Hot Springs, N.C., died at 2 o’clock this morning in a local hospital from bullet wounds alleged to have been inflicted by George E. Brown, chief of police of Hot Springs.
The shooting occurred three weeks ago. Two bullets hit Plemmons, one shattering his left arm, and the other lodging against the spinal column. Paralysis from the waist down resulted.
Brown is held in Madison county jail without bond on a charge of murder.
The shooting grew out of an effort by Brown to search a car in which Plemmons was riding, for liquor.
