Writ of Error Allows Wayne County Sheriff to Challenge Bond
In Charleston on March 20 the supreme court granted a writ of error to Sheriff C. L. Booten in a suit by Forest Cunningham against Deputy Napier’s bond with National Security. Cunningham says Napier’s actions caused a false arrest and seeks liability. Napier argues the bond does not cover unlawful or negligent gun use and that he was not a tax collecting deputy at the time. The Wayne circuit court had overruled Booten’s demurrer, and an appeal followed, while a rule in damus to R. E. Woodrum, convicted of petit larceny, was denied.
