Asheville, July 30—John S. Nance, construction engineer, is in the Bryson City hospital in a critical condition as a result of a shooting affair in Sylva early today, and Raymond Glenn, young Sylva jeweler, is lodged in the Jackson county jail.
The affair, which happened while Nance was seated in a car on the Main street of Sylva, is said to have grown out of trouble between the two men as a result of alleged attention paid to Mrs. Glenn, wife of the prisoner, by Nance.
Four bullets took effect, one in the face and three in the lungs, an examination disclosed.
Glenn is said to have approached the car where his enemy was sitting and then to have taken deliberate aim at the engineer with his revolver leveled in both hands.
Mrs. Glenn, who was before her marriage Miss Rebecca Blythe of Brevard, is in Brevard with her two small children. She was taken there a short time ago by her husband after trouble about Nance, it is said. He has instituted divorce proceedings.
