SHOTS WOUND
R.W. SWAGLER
District Attorney Shot by Man Who
Blames Him For Non-indict
mcnt..
i, . District Attorney R. W. Swagler
received three gun shot wounds from
a gun in the hands of John Hanlon
v; of Jordan Valley on the stairs of the
court house Tuesday morning about
; 10.30 The grand jury was in session
J in the court room at the time of the
' shooting and a number of peopLc
' were., in the court house. Attorney
,Swagglcr had been talking with Wil
liam Jones hanker of Juntura at the
-''foot of the stairs and being in a hurry
ran up stairs, approaching the
top he was confronted by Hanlon who
opened fire with a 32 automatic re
volver. Three shots were fired all
of which hit the district attorney, one
-entered the inside muscles of the Teft
leg, one hit the - right side and
glanced downward coming out thru
the hip while the third badly shattered
' his right wrist.
At the time the third shot was
fired Swagler fell backward from
the seventh stop where he was caught
by Mr. Jones and other by standers
and carried into the County Clerk's
office where Dr. Brown made an ex-
. amination and cared for the wounds.
Sheriff Lee Noe was "'sitting in his1
.office and hearing the shots stepped
tout to the hall, where ho saw Hanlon
with the gun in his hands, "Did You
. : Do That", he inquired of Hanlon,
'.."Yes" the assailant answered and
handed the sheriff his gun. He was
-immediately . placed under arrest.
Other witnesses to tl)e affair. were Bob
" Terry of Owyhee and Commissioner
Frank Vines. There were also other
.people in the lobby at the time the
"shooting took place.
Mr. .Swagler Was removed from the
' court house to the Drexel hotel where
. the wounds were dressed.
Mrs. Swngler und' daughter Tone
were called from Ontario and came
up with Erbie 'Hayes immediately af
ter the shooting Doctors Weise and
Payne were also called. The wounds
" were found to be very painful but not
serious. The wound in the wrist being
the most serious. At the present
time Mr. Swagler is. resting easily
and expects to be able to return to .
his home soon.
Blamed for Non- Indictment
' The motive for the shooting dates
back to a theft case during last July,
when Hanlon claims to have been rob
bed of $450.00. He swore out a com
plaint against a parly by the name of
Ambrose who was tried' in justice
- rni'rt at Jordan Valley and found not
guilty. Hanlon then sought to have
the case brought into the circuit
court arid conferred with District At
torney Swaggler during the county
fair at Ontario, but due to insuffic-
.- t - ency 6f evidence was advised to drop
the case 'or take up a new clew as
nothing pointed to the guilt of Am-
brose except that Hanlon claimed to
' ' , have been robbed while staying there.
Hanlon then took the matter up with
State Officials and Swaggler finally
decided to bring the case before the
grand jruy and Sheriff Lee Noe sum
moned witnesses for the January ses
sion. When it became apparent that
