Ibamamy Case Against Him Falls Through
Calloway miner Joe Ambrose, held in Fayetteville and Beckley jails, pleaded guilty to cruelty to a child after state police found no reliable bigamy evidence. Magistrate Meadows had previously held him for grand jury action but could not post bond. Judge Kilgore fined him 50 dollars and costs and he remained jailed until funds were raised. Neighbors reported him binding the child to a bed to silence cries, a claim Ambrose partly denied while admitting prior marriages in Tennessee.
