Howard, under contract to serve as automobile driver for Federal prohibition officers while making raids, was shot and critically wounded by a man said to have been Fred Swartz, implicated in alleged liquor law violations, a few minutes after 9 o'clock this morning. The shooting occured on Main Street here. Howard and Fanning Saltz who, although not an agent, assists officers in making raids, were waiting on the red light to change when they were attacked by Swartz who shot Howard in the face below the bridge of the nose. Swartz is said to have struck Saltz over the head with the latters gun, which he took from him cutting a gash in his head. Swartz surrendered. In the absence of Sheriff W.A. Garren, Roe Sentell, jailer, placed Swartz under arrest after he had given up his two guns. Upon his return, Sheriff Garren examined the guns, one being a .38 caliber colt, a short pistol of the "detective" model. It had only one empty chamber. The other weapon had not been discharged. Howard and Swartz it is declared, figured in a raid in the Catshead section, the home of Swartz, last Friday night when a 65 gallon still was seized and destroyed and 26 gallons of whiskey found. Swartz was among those implicated but escaped. _____________________________________ Greenville News, Page 1 Wednesday, April 23, 1930 HOWARD INQUEST FRIDAY MORNING FORMER GREENVILLE MAN SHOT IN CAR AT HENDERSONVILLE, SUCCUMBS ASHEVILLE, N.C., Apr. 22 -- (AP) -- Clarence G.
