Fragmentary report describes a hospital case and social remarks. Witnesses mention a girl named Dorothy Pugh and a man named Rickard, with Coombs visiting a lumber camp after a reported remark.
In a night confrontation Coombs, drinking and intoxicated, attacked bystander Rickard with a knife after a dispute. Rickard struck back with a club, claiming self defense as Coombs collapsed unconscious from head injuries. Pathology showed brain injury due to blunt force, internal bleeding caused death. Rickard surrendered to Sheriff Sheetz after fleeing to his father’s home.
A knife identified by several witnesses as belonging to Coombs was found on a shanty table near the fatal altercation. It is believed the weapon fell from Coombs during the blow by Rickard, and someone swept up the knife and laid it on the table in the ensuing commotion.
