Doctors Identify Blue Creek Holdup Suspects
Dr J Work identified Charlea Blacktop age 35 and Jann Solomon age 33 as the two men who held up him and a visitor at his office in Blue Creek Friday night. Corporal N T Giles and Sergeant Charters W Garman brought the suspects to county jail in Stockton and Solomon is detained there. The victims say the men demanded a 878 and a diamond ring before forcing Dr Work to ride in his own car toward Charleston where he was tossed from the vehicle near city limits. The suspects were to be identified again after Dr Werk’s illness delayed the prior session. The doctor is Kanawha county coroner W F Werk’s father.
