James Maxey

  Two Sabine Parish Negroes were shot early Saturday morning, in
two different ructions, that kept Sabine Parish Deputies busy
until after five o'clock that morning.

  Deputy Walter Sculthorpe took a call about 1 a.m., that James
Maxey of Florien had been shot. Maxey was brought to Fraser
Hospital in Many, where he was pronounced dead on arrival.

  Investigating the accident were Deputies Jimmy Pleasant, and
Floyd Terrell, who were called to the Fraser Hospital. In the
meantime, Robert Maxey, Florien Negro, came to the Sabine Parish
Courthouse, and surrendered to Deputy Walter Sculthorpe. Maxey
brought with him a 12 gauge single barrel shotgun, the death
weapon, He is a cousin to the victim. The brawl that ended in the
shooting was started when James Maxey left with Robert Maxey's
girlfriend, Ollie Mae Carter. When they returned, Robert shot
James just over the heart, at close range.
