Williamston, N.C., March 31—Charged with performing a serious operation upon Jos. H. Needleman, a tobacco salesman, Turney W. Sparrow Jr. of Kinston and Johnny Gurkin and John A. Griffin of Martin County were under arrest here today. The operated was performed upon Needleman Sunday afternoon. He is alleged to have attacked a young woman Friday near here.
At Washington, N.C., where Needleman is in a hospital, it is said he will recover, though permanently mutilated.
Sparrow, according to Sheriff (??) Robeson County, was married Sunday afternoon to the girl whom it is alleged was attacked by Needleman. In a statement made Sunday when it was feared he would die, Needleman named the three men as his assailants, and warrants were issued by solicitor Donald Gilliam and served last night.
It was expected the three men would be given a preliminary hearing today.
