Young Woman Shot Tuesday Night

A serious shooting affray occurred in East Thomaston Tuesday night.  Mrs. Ruby
Robinson was shot through the head with a pistol while she lay asleep in bed at
her home.  The shooting occurred about 11 o’clock.  The ball penetrated one side
of her head about the ear and came out on the other, inflicting a serious wound,
though not necessarily fatal.  She was shot through a window of the house, it is
said.

Suspicion pointed to a young man named Lloyd Beverly.  It is alleged that the
young woman who is suing her present husband for a divorce, repulsed the
attentions of young Beverly and he became angry and made threats to fix her.  He
was arrested Wednesday morning and lodged in the Upson County jail to await the
outcome of the wounds on the young lady.  She was formerly known as Miss Ruby
Morris and is known as such now.  Young Beverly is the son of Mr. Allen Beverly
of Barnesville and is about 21 years of age.  The young woman is about 18 years
old. – Thomaston Times
