JUSTICE DEAD – SHERIFF IS ARRESTED
ALTERCATION LATE FRIDAY RESULTS IN DEATH OF OFFICIAL
SHERIFF AND JUSTICE OF PEACE ENGAGED IN DIFFICULTY AT COURT HOUSE
George W. Crumbley, 53 years old, justice of the peace is dead and
John W. Stewart aged about 65, sheriff of Navarro county is
suffering from scalp wounds, as a result of an altercation which
occurred in the courtroom of the justice about 5 o’clock Friday
afternoon.
Formal charges of murder were filed against the sheriff by County
Attorney Ballard W. George in Justice of the Peace Sam H. Jordan's
court Saturday morning and his bond was set at $3,000.
Sheriff Stewart will appear in Justice court at 9 o’clock Monday
morning for a preliminary hearing. Three witnesses have been
summoned to appear in behalf of the defendant.
Crumbley died from the effects of a pistol wound in the abdomen.
Stewart has lacerations on his scalp inflicted by a desk notary
seat.
Immediately following the shooting the two officers were taken to
the County Hospital. Crumbly was operated on early Friday night to
remove a portion of his large intestine, from which he failed to
rally and lingered till 6:50 o’clock Saturday morning.
Funeral services for Crumbley will be held at the First Batist
church at 3:30 o’clock Sunday afternoon. Burial will be in
Oakwood
cemetery. The local Blue Lodge of Masons will have charge of the
services at the grave and the Knights Templar will furnish an
escort.
Stewart's wounds were dressed and he is at his home, 609 South
Eighteenth street, in bed today. The grand jury convenes Monday
morning. The sheriff was served with a warrant at noon today by John
R. Curington, chief deputy.
Crumbley is understood to have made a statement to friends
concerning the affray soon after reaching the hospital where he was
taken in Sutherland's ambulance.
Stewart stated to newspaper reporters at his home today that he had
bone into Crumbley's office in the west side of the basement floor
of the courthouse when the justice asked him to come in, that he
wanted to talk to him about a matter.
The sheriff said that the justice charged him with showing
favoritism in the filing of cases in the court of the other justice
of the peace, to which he replied he was mistaken.
According to the sheriff's statement he and Crumbley were seated at
the desk talking and Crumbley told him that one of his (Stewart's)
men had told him that they had instructions to file all cases with
the other justice. To this the sheriff said, he explained that such
was not the case and if he would bring this man before him he would
have it further explained.
“As I started to push my chair back and get up to go,: the sheriff
said, “he struck me in the back of the head with this seat, knocked
me to my knees, and I was blinded by the blow; he struck me the
second time, and as I scrambled up he pursued me and struck me the
third time, the last lick hit me on top of the head , as I partly
knocked it off with my left hand.
“I went for my pistol as I staggered towards the west wall; it
seemed like it was hard to get out of the scabbard, and I shot as
quick as I could to stop him from beating me to death,” said the
sheriff.
Crumbley's last statement concerning the trouble said to have been
made to several men who had called at the hospital shortly after the
shooting, is quoted in effect to be that Stewart struck at him with
a chair and abused him, whereupon they went into a clinch. During
the clinch he struck Stewart and was shot, it is alleged.
At first it was thought the injuries were not dangerous. A blood
transfusion was given, but to no avail.
Crumbley is survived by his wife and six small children, of
Corsicana; and four brothers, Billy Crumbley, Tennessee; Trey and J.
O. Crumbley, Corsicana, and Bob Crumbley of Angus.
Crumbley had been a resident of Navarro county about thirty years
and of Corsicana the past fifteen years. He was formerly a school
teacher and farmer, and was appointed justice of the peace by the
commissioners’ court several months ago to fill the vacancy caused
by the resignation of H. K. Duncan. He was well known.

HEARING WILL BE RESUMED TUESDAY MORNING 9 O’CLOCK
DEFENDANT UNABLE TO APPEAR IN COURT MONDAY AFTERNOON
Hearing of testimony in the examining trial of Sheriff John W.
Stewart was continued till 9 o’clock Tuesday morning, at which time
it is thought the defendant will be physically able to appear in
court.
The hearing was called for two o’clock Monday afternoon and a total
of six witnesses were examined before Justice Sam B. Jordan.
Stewart is held on a formal charge of murder in connection with the
fatal shooting of Justice of the Peace George W. Crumbley last
Friday. His physician advised against his appearing in court today.
Sam Barton, D. L. Boyd, Blooming Grove farmers; H. L. Hervey
Chatfield; Dr. M. L. Hanks, Corbet; G. P Brooks, deputy sheriff, and
Dr. I. N. Suttle, Corsicana, gave testimony in the hearing this
afternoon. So large was the attendance at court that Judge Jordan
held his hearing in the district courtroom, as the justice's office
could not accommodate the spectators.
At the opening of the hearing Stewart, though his attorneys, Gibson
& Lovett, produced a signed waiver of appearance on account of not
being physically able to leave his home.
The waiver carried with it admission of the death of George W.
Crumbley at his hands.
At the conclusion of the evidence of Dr. I. N. Suttle, who attended
the sheriff soon after the trouble and who has him under his care,
court took a recess on motion of the defense, till Tuesday morning.
Sam Barton, told of his being in the court house basement at the
time of the trouble. In his company was D. L. Boyd, and according to
his statement they had left Brooks and Hervey near the east end of
the courthouse basement and were walking down towards the northwest
exit. As they walked along, he said his attention was first
attracted when about twenty feet of the door leading into Crumbley's
office by scuffling and heard someone say “you old-------,” and
looked up quickly and saw Crumbley strike Stewart with a seat. He
said Stewart then went down towards the floor and made a motion like
he was trying to get a gun from his left side with his right hand,
while his left arm was partly elevated. Barton said he turned
quickly and grabbed Boyd and shoved him into the hall way that leads
directly north to the toilet. The witness said he heart the shot
fire, but heard nothing drop to the floor. He saw Crumbley a little
later out on the court house lawn, and saw Stewart later in the
Sheriff's office.
Barton said he was in the room after the fight and saw the notary
seal and a chair turned over on the floor between the two desks, and
did not see anything in Stewart's hands.
As the shot fired, Barton said, Brooks and Hervey came running down
that way hollering, “don’t shoot” and “halt.” At this juncture the
witness said he and Boyd went on out the northwest steps and on into
the sheriff's office. The witness stated that he had been served
with summons to appear before the grand jury.
D. L. Boyd took the stand next and under question by E. J. Gibson
told practically the same version of the affair as did Barton. He
said he heard talking in the room but did not understand what was
said, he walked a little behind Barton and was behind him slightly
when Barton shoved him into the toilet alley and saw nothing of the
fight.
Dr. M. L. Hanks said he saw Crumbley about ten or eleven o’clock
Friday morning while standing in the sheriff's office looking at the
new jail across the street. At that time Dr. Hanks declared he asked
him if he intended to run for justice of the peace, whereupon
Crumbley was quoted as saying he intended to do so.
“ I remarked to him that I hadn’t noticed his announcement in the
paper,” Hanks said, and Crumbley, he declared, replied that he was
not going to announce through the newspapers, but would have cards
out and that his name would appear on the ticket.
According to Dr. Hanks’ further testimony Crumbley quoted as having
said “it costs too much to announce through the papers and make make
a thorough campaign, and there is nothing in the office, anyway, and
these d----d-----in here are the cause of it.”
The witness declared he did not know what was meant and he
immediately left and saw Crumbley no more. Dr. Hanks has been
summoned for the grand jury, he said.
H. L. Hervey of Chatfield stated he was with C. P. Brooks at the
east end of the basement at the time of the trouble. He testified to
seeing scuffling in Crumbley's office, something that sounded like a
chair turning over first attracted his attention in that direction.
He declared he looked up, saw the scuffle, but saw no licks struck.
He declared on being questioned that if Crumbley had a seal in his
hand he did not see it, and if Stewart had hold of a chair he did
not see that, or know anything about it.
“Brooks and I went into the room and separated Crumbley and
Stewart.” Hervey testified.
“Crumbley said, ‘He has killed me, boys,’ and I got hold of Stewart
and asked him what was the trouble and he said, “He was trying to
kill me with that weight.” Hervey continued.
On cross-examination by the State, Hervey said he and Brooks started
for the door, he being a little behind Brooks, and they reached the
door and entered the office about the same instant. He said they
heart the shot fired when about 10 feet from the door and as they
entered, the men were in a clinch in the northwest corner of the
room, and that was their position when he and Brooks separated them.
Brooks took the stand and testified practically to the details
touched on by Hervey, saying that when they heard a noise in
Crumbley's office they ran in that direction. He said he did not see
the pistol shoot, but heard the report a few feet from the door. He
said the men were in a clinch right up against each other next to
the north wall, and near the northwest corner of the room. He said
Crumbley had a seal in his left hand. Brooks took Crumbley out of
the room and onto the court house lawn, he said, and Hervey and
Rufus Pevehouse took Stewart in charge.
The witness said Crumbley said nothing to him any more than begged
him to carry him to the hospital and Stewart said nothing to him.
The notary seal that figured in the tragedy was introduced in
evidence at this point and identified.
Dr. I. N. Suttle was the last witness. He described Stewart's
wounds. He attended him at the hospital about 6 or 7 o’clock Friday
night. He said Stewart had three wounds in his head. He described
one as the main wound, being just above the mastoid bone above the
left ear, and about two inches in length, another wound on top of
the head and another between the first two described.
The main wound the doctor said, was lacerated to the bone and that
an X-ray had been taken of it by Dr. Daniels, who, he said reported
to him there is evidence of a fracture to the outer table.
The other two wounds, the doctor declared are of a less serious
nature. The injuries he declared were very painful.
It was announced Sunday that the examining trial would not be held
until probably late in the week on account of the sheriff's injuries
being too serious to permit him to leave his bed. He rested well
Sunday night, and it was found that he might be able to appear this
afternoon. His attorneys announced after hearing the doctor's
testimony, that he would in all probability be able to appear
Tuesday morning and that the examining trial would be concluded with
their client's testimony.

SHERIFF STEWART WITNESS TUESDAY IN EXAMINING TRIAL
RELEASED TO GO BEFORE GRAND JURY BY JUSTICE SAM B. JORDAN
Sheriff John W. Stewart was released on his own recognizance by
Justice of the Peace Sam B. Jordan Tuesday morning, after he had
testified in the preliminary hearing which was concluded shortly
after 10 o’clock.
The sheriff went directly to the grand jury room. The grand jury has
the case under investigation and all witnesses, including the six
that gave testimony Monday afternoon and the sheriff himself, are in
attendance at the granc jury.
The witnesses testifying in the preliminary are Sam Barton, D. L.
Boyd, Blooming Grove; H. L. Hervey, Chatfield; C. P. Brooks, deputy
sheriff; Dr. M. l. Hanks, Corbet; Dr. I. N. Suttle, Corsicana; and
Sheriff John W. Stewart.
The sheriff, in response to questions propounded by attorneys told
his version of the killing, and Justice Jordan stated that inasmuch
as the grand jury had the matter under investigation and the
defendant stated he was going before that body, he would release
him.
The sheriff appeared in court with his head in bandages. He will
plead self-defense, declaring that he was invited into Crumbley's
office to talk over a matter, and as they were seated the argument
came up concerning the filing of cases in the justice court, in
which Crumbley is said to have accused him of throwing his court
business to the other justice of the peace.
The sheriff related that he told Crumbley he had no preference
between the two justices of the peace, whereupon reply was made that
one of his (Stewart's) men had told him instructions were to file
the criminal cases in Jordan's court to his discrimination. The
sheriff declared he told Crumbley that to be a mistake and if he
ould bring this man in, he would show it to be so.
At this, the sheriff stated, Crumbley declined to bring the man in,
and quoted him as saying he believed what the deputy had told him,
and that Stewart was responsible for it. Seeing no satisfactory
settlement of the matter could be made, said the sheriff, he said he
remarked to Crumbley he had might as well go, and that he rather he
would not repeat the matter saying he was to blame for filing
practically all the cases with the other justice.
The sheriff described the position of the two men at the time of the
talk, and stated as he started to get up to leave he was struck with
the seal just above the left ear dropped to his right knee in a
partly paralyzed condition, and was struck the second time, and the
third time, though the third blow did not break the skin. After he
parried the third blow with his left hand and pushed Crumbley back,
he pulled his pistol and fired to protect his own life.
Sheriff Stewart has lived in Navarro county forty years and has been
a peace officer from time to time for twenty-seven years, serving as
constable, city marshal, policeman, deputy sheriff and sheriff. He
is 58 years old.
Gibson & Lovett are representing Sheriff Stewart, and W. M. Taylor,
assistant county attorney, appeared at the hearing in behalf of the
state.
The district court room was crowded in almost standing room a
capacity during the hearing Tuesday morning as well as Monday
afternoon. Quiet and order prevailed. Many were eager to hear the
testimony of the witness. The testimony was taken down by Court
Reporter Jack Dodson.

Never more cans’t thou return
Thou shalt sleep a peaceful slumber,
Till the resurrection morn.
Thou art our precious Charles,
Never more we’ll see his face
Till we meet him over the river,
In that happy dwelling place.
There we’ll meet you, precious Charles.
There we’ll clasp glad hands and ---more.
When we’ve next to part, no never never.
On that happy peaceful shore,
There we’ll spend the countless ages,
Ever by our Savior's side,
There we’ll meet our precious Charles,
There our tears will all be dried.

Notes:
Margie
(French) Flynn
Dec 8, 1922 - Aug 3, 2012
 Margie
French Flynn, 89, passed from this life to her eternal rest
on Friday, Aug. 3, 2012. She was born Dec. 8, 1922 in the
Irene Community of Hill County, Texas. She was the daughter
of Fred Wesley French and Alice Arlene Selby French. The
French family was early settlers in northwestern Navarro
County. She spent many of her early years in the Brushie
Prairie, Dresden and Spring Hill Communities. Margie chaired
the committee responsible for obtaining a Texas State
Historical Marker in Commemoration of the First 100 years of
the Brushie Prairie United Methodist Church.
On June 21, 1943, Margie married Charlie L. Flynn. After
Charlie returned from overseas, they made their home in
Corsicana, Texas. On June 21, 2008, they celebrated their
65th Wedding Anniversary. Charlie passed to his rest on Dec.
31, 2008.
After Margie's father died when she was 5 years old, she was
reared by a Mother whose formal education was limited, but
read all her life and highly valued education. She modeled
that love for Margie who was a natural teacher and leader
all her life. Mrs. Flynn was always the room mother chair.
She was president of every level of Parent Teacher
Association, PTA, in Corsicana and Navarro County —
including Chairman of the Navarro County Council of PTA.
A natural leader, she never served a community, support or
charitable organization for which she was not president or
chairman at least once — including the first Corsicana Parks
Commission, Drane Junior High Band Parents Association,
Corsicana High School Band Parents Association, March of
Dimes and American Heart Association.
At First Baptist Church, Corsicana, where she served her
Lord through a variety of positions for over 60 years, Mrs.
Flynn was director of many different Sunday School and
Training Union Departments — the third grade department
became her special love. She was the Third Grade Director
for over 30 years. Desperate parents of teenagers who had
rebelled against attending Sunday School often brought their
Kiddos to her and she would put them to work directly with
the third graders. Many of her former students, “teachers,”
and their children and grandchildren currently hold
positions of leadership in FBC, Corsicana. Her own Sunday
School teacher, Mrs. Sharon Goodman, was one of her
students.
The Great Commission was real to Margie and the Women's
Missionary Union was always a special place of service for
her. She was repeatedly Chairman or Missions Leader of her
Circle and often served as Navarro County Associational WMU
Director. She was always involved in Sunbeams, Girl's
Auxiliary, Week of Prayer, Lottie Moon, Annie Armstrong,
Mary Hill Davis State Missions, and local community
missions-in-action activities.
As co-owner with her husband of Flynn Bookkeeping and Tax
Services, she was an accountant for more than 65 years.
Margie always enjoyed the people she worked with more than
the numbers.
After Charlie's death in 2008, she found a new calling as a
Certified Volunteer Ombudsman for North Central Texas Area
Agency on Aging.
Through this program, she advocated for Long-Term Care
Residents by regularly visiting with Sterling House
Residents and administrators.
Margie was always a busy Christian lady who placed others
before herself, but antiquing trips with her daughter,
Ailsa, brought both of them great fun and fellowship. The
hunt for the perfect find was always secondary to the
knowledge exchanged and friendships deepened with dealers
from all over the country.
Even after she was required to use oxygen, Margie could
still be seen actively participating in her assorted
interests — often driving Charlie's pickup!
Mrs. Flynn was preceded in death by her parents, Fred Wesley
and Alice Arlene Selby French; husband of 65 years, Charlie
L. Flynn; brothers, Hershel French and Edwin French; special
niece, Meg Flynn; and numerous dear family and friends
including Alyne French, Dortha Harden Flynn, Joe Sims, C. G.
Rash, and many members of the Roy and Christine Bristow
First Baptist Church Couples' Class.
Survivors include her daughter, Ailsa Margette Flynn
Anderson and husband, Guy W. Anderson, Jr.; foster son, John
Wesley French and wife Juanita of Austin; special nephew,
Johnny Carl Flynn and wife Elaine of Tahoka and their
daughter Kelly of Fort Worth; niece and nephew, Janis French
and Don French; nephew, Herschel Fred French; sister-in-law,
Annie Ruth Robison; numerous French and Flynn nieces and
nephews; special neighbors, the Daniel Rivas family; dear
friends, the Sam Lou family; and dear Christian sisters of
the First Baptist Church, Adult 3, Ruth Sunday School Class.
Visitation with the family will be Tuesday, Aug. 7, 2012
from 6 to 8 p.m. at Corley Funeral Home.
Services will be held at 10 a.m. Wednesday, Aug. 8, 2012 at
First Baptist Church, Corsicana with Dr. Danny Reeves and
Rev. B. F. Risinger, Jr. officiating. Burial will follow in
Oakwood Cemetery.
Pallbearers are Chuck Burns, Norman Gilcrease, Bill Honea,
Tom Lucas, Scott Middleton, Richard Rash, J. Waterman, and
K.C. "Kim" Wyatt. Honorary pallbearers will be Nathan
Benefield, Joe Bob Tekell, Tom Boyd, Jay Justice, J. R.
Murray, and Leo Bradshaw.
Memorials may be made to the First Baptist Church Missions
Program, 510 West Collin Street, Corsicana, TX 75110.
