The Robesonian, August 4, 1936
Barnesville Man Commits Suicide By Shooting Self

   James M. Walters Left Note Asking That No Blame Be Attached.

   James M. Walters, 53, committed suicide by shooting himself with a shotgun 
at a filling station operated by Lawrence Edwards, near Barnesville, early 
Monday morning, his body being found at 3 a.m.
   Walters had returned home Thursday from State hospital in Raleigh, where he 
had been undergoing treatment. Sunday about midnight, he sliped away from home 
and went to the filling station. Placing the gun in the corner of the log 
station, he used a forked stick to pull the trigger. Notes were left addressed 
to Coroner D. W. Biggs and to Sheriff Mark Page asking that they attach no 
blame to anyone for his deed. The load was fired in his chest just above his 
heart and apparently resulted in instant death.
