Child believed to be a twin who died at or shortly there after.
In a shooting affray at Calais, Monroe County, late last Sundayafternoon, Frank Stephen, aged sixteen years was so seriously woundedthat his death resulted a few hours later in a Barnesville Hospitaland his father was severely wounded in the right arm when they wereshot with a gun in the hands of Jesse Stephen, aged eighteen, anotherson, and brother. The trouble was caused by a dispute over theownership of a revolver. The young man was placed under arrest andtaken to the county jail. Wed. 7 June 1933 Noble County Leader.
Spirit of Democracy, Woodsfield, Ohio, dated, June 8, 1933
The Calais community was the scene of an unfortunate occurrence lastSunday afternoon about 1:00 o?clock, when Jesse Stephen shot andfatally wounded his younger brother Frank at the home of theirgrandfather, William Carpenter who lived about a mile from the Stephenhome. Apparently an altercation between the father Earl Stephen andthe younger son on one side against the older son grew into bitternessand when the father and son went to the Carpenter home they found theolder boy in an attitude of armed resistance to their approach to thehouse.
It is said that as the father opened the latch of the gate, the olderboy fired a shotgun at close range, the charge passing through theelder Stephen?s arm near the elbow. And as Frank drew nearer he wasshot through the abdomen, the weapon being a .45 caliber revolver, thebullet passing through the boy?s body. He was taken to BarnesvilleHospital following first aid treatment by Dr. O. C. Jackson,Woodsfield physician. Later in the evening an operation was performedin the vain hope of saving his life. He died about 11:30.
Jesse was arrested about 5:00 by Sheriff W, J, Crawford and brought tothe county jail at Woodsfield. The body of Frank was brought to theBauer & Willison establishment here on Monday morning, where itremained until after an autopsy had been performed. Upon being broughtto view his brother?s body the elder boy is said to have made nocomment or showed any emotion.
Being under eighteen years of age the accused was taken beforeJuvenile Judge C. O. Polen on Tuesday, who, under the law, referredhim to the Bureau of Juvenile Research at Columbus, where he was takenWednesday. Upon their finding, after observation, will depend the nextstep in local courts. If he is found normal in mind, he will be boundover to the grand jury to find an indictment as their investigationwarrants. Should he be found to be sub-normal to a degree ofirresponsibility, another course will likely be followed.
There are eleven children in the family, which is said to be instraitened circumstances at times.
Funeral services for the dead boy were held at the late home onTuesday afternoon.
Former Prosecuting Attorney, John K. Sawyers, Jr., has been retainedas counsel for Jesse Stephen.
Self-defense will be urges in Stephen?s behalf, and it will be setforth that he not only acted to protect himself but also his mother.
