Perry Shuman Jailed Estill, July 20 - A quarrel over the purchase of a soft drink tonight led to the fatal shooting of W H Stannard, a storekeeper, and of Kalvin Shuman. Witnesses stated to the investigators that John Kalvin Shuman, farmer of this section, entered Stannard's store and ordered a soft drink, and then refused to pay for it. Harsh words resulted and Shuman left the store vowing to return. In the firing, Stannard, who was about 50, was shot to death, allegedly by Perry Shuman. Stannard shot and mortally wounded Kalvin Shuman. The storekeeper came here about two years ago with a colony from Chicago and Wisconsin, which settled in this section. Shortly after the shooting, Perry Shuman was arrested and taken to jail at Hampton. After the quarrel with Shuman over the beverage, Stannard appealed to Sheriff C V Thomas for protection when Shuman threatened him. The officer came to the store, but left shortly before the shooting. Stannard was described by neighbors as a "quiet and reserved man." He is survived by a widow and two small children, Phyllis and Vernon Stannard, and one sister, Mrs G M Gainter, of Springfield, Massachusetts. Part from the Augusta Chronicle, July 25, 1933, part from the Charleston News and Courier, July 21, 1933. Perry Shuman was convicted of manslaughter.
