Road Worker Shot as Highways Crew Skirmish Unfolds
Two colored highway crew employees on the Roosevelt Highway project between Corry and Pittsfield clashed in a late afternoon shooting. Arthur Ross, 26, was hit in the calf and hospitalized in Corry with non serious injuries. Authorities found conflicting accounts, with Ross saying a fellow worker shot him after he found him with his wife, while another version cited a quarrel over a crap game at a nearby camp. State motor police were notified when Ross was brought to hospital, but no formal inquiry was made and Warren County officers had not logged a report. A suspect named Joiner, about 42, fled the scene. Three shots were fired, one lodging in Ross's leg.
