Sheriff B. J. Sitton was called to the Cedar Mountain section Monday night by Mrs. Mac Perry, who stated that her husband was at home violently drunk and was beating her and the two children, and he thought he had killed their 1-year-old child.
Sheriff Sitton rushed to the home, taking with him a coroner and two deputies, but found the child had not been killed as at first reported. Perry was arrested and brought to Brevard and placed in jail on charges of wife beating and public drunkenness pending a hearing on Thursday of this week probably.
