Monday, March 29, 1937 pg. 1 NEGRO SLAIN BY WOMAN IN LOCAL BRAWL Slaps Woman Down and She Sticks Him With Knife; Dies Enroute to Hospital Henry Robinson, 29-year-old Negro employe of Steakley Chevrolet company, is dead and Estella Jackson, 23, is held pending filing of murder charges, the outcome of a scrape in a Negro beer joint and cafe late Saturday night. Robinson, stabbed in the right shoulder with a knife carried by the woman, died shortly after the scrape enroute to the hospital, from loss of blood. His right arm was thrown out of its socket by the blade, which severed the tendons. Judge E.A. Wright, at the end of an inquest which lasted for several hours, said, "Robinson came to his death from wounds inflicted by a knife in the hands of Estella Jackson." He said the case had not been closed. Magnolia Cemetery Susan Hawkins © 2024 If you find any of Grayson County TXGenWeb links inoperable, please send me a message. |
