Whetzell May Escape Second Murder Charge
Jim Whetzell of Sullivan County serving a life sentence for murder may avoid a second murder charge after a prison stabbing at the state Nashville prison involving C. W. Maynard of Hampton County. Commissioner Pope notes both men had long blades hidden in their blouses and blames long-standing tensions. Maynard, once described by officials as shrewd and dangerous, had previously escaped custody but left officials puzzled about how.
