Robberies Denied By Two Prisoners
Two prisoners from Canaanville John Darnell and Paul Young told Deputy Sheriff Charles H. Evans in Mason County Jail at Point Pleasant that they had no involvement in the Feb 11 hold up of a federal employee on Route 50 near Athens. They also denied any role in the later beating and robbery of Stewart residents Frank Jackson and William Starkey, though warrants accuse them of assault with intent to kill and robbery. They claim they left a tavern with the victims after a quarrel and knew nothing of subsequent events. Evans continues to investigate both cases. They are serving 30 days for intoxication.
