Thanks, Tweeks Articles from the Russell County News: December 18, 1941 Warren Long Shot by Town Marshall Warren Long, son of Mr. and Mrs. Sam Long, of [Jamestown], was shot and seriously wounded by Town Marshall Hiram Marcum last Saturday. The shooting took place in the Murphy restaurant on North Main Street. Long's condition is quite serious, but it is believed that by careful attention he will recover. September 10, 1942 Greensburg Marshal Kills E.P. Lingle H.H. Marcum, town marshal of Greensburg, killed Earl P. Lingle in that city last Friday. Lingle, 43, World War veteran, was fatally shot by Marcum after the marshal had struck Lingle with his night club. Marcum was taken before County Judge Pilson Smith following the killing. He plead [sic] not guilty, waived examining trial and was held to the November grand jury without bond. He is being held in Jefferson county. Marcum for several months was chief of police in Jamestown. May 27, 1943 The trial of Hiram Marcum, former town marshall of [Jamestown], charged with the murder of Earl Lingle at Greensburg last August, was postponed to the October term of court at Hodgensville last Monday. Marcum, who is 70 years old, is reported as being ill at his home in Louisvile, and not able to be on hand for his trial. It will be remembered that on account of the feeling against Marcum in Green county his case was transferred to the Larue circuit court on motion of his attorney. His case has been tried once and resulted in a hung jury.
