Storm of violence in quiet town ends in murder in store room
In a Western Virginia town, Jobo Hall shot Lewis Wetzel after a confrontation in Beale, Setzler & Co store. Wetzel died within hours. Hall was jailed after a preliminary hearing before Squire Davis. Col Brown and Lieut Snowden were later arrested for aiding Wetzel’s murder. Wetzel, a Union supporter and former legislator, was highly regarded.
