Warrant to be Issued on Q.C. Sonner Jr. after He Improves, July 13,1926

Spartanburg, S.C., July 12—A warrant charging Q.C. Sonner Jr with the murder of Miss Jean Braswell, Tryon, N.C., society girl, will be issued and served as soon as the condition of young Sonner, now in the Tryon hospital, permits service of the warrant. This announcement was made from Columbus, N.C., over the long distance telephone to the Spartanburg Journal by Deputy Sheriff Laughler of Polk County.

Reports to the sheriff’s office at Columbus, N.C., indicate that Sonner’s condition is improving and his recovery now seems probable, the deputy sheriff said.
