Maxwell Demands Sheriff Title Amid Courtroom Tussle
Around two o'clock last Friday Vigm P Maxwell with bondsmen Crowder and Wolfe appeared in Sullivan court seeking recognition as Sullivan county sheriff. He cited a governor's letter naming him legal sheriff and requested duties and salary. Judge Harris declined to rule, citing insufficient official action, and Maxwell pressed Dudley for the office, while Dudley insisted he remained legally sheriff. The scene moved to the clerk's office with notices and subpoenas to follow.
