Charlotte, June 8—Judge James L. Webb made a vigorous attack today in Superior court on officers shooting fugitives suspected of violating the law. His remarks proved a sensation at the courthouse, where lively discussion recently was aroused by the shooting to death of Stephen S. Holt, Smithfield attorney, by police detective Wyatt of Raleigh.
Judge Webb deplored the practice of officers shooting at fleeing prisoners, or suspected persons.
