Looking for news article, North Carolina 1931 homicide

Question

Yes, I finally took a vacation from my Paw Creek families for a while.

I discovered a death cert for a distant cousin of mine, Wiley Maxwell Galloway, whose death was ruled a homicide. He was struck in the head 16 March 1931 and died three days later. I was hoping there might be a newspaper article about the incident. The assault occured in Glenville, Jackson County, North Carolina, and Wiley died at a hospital in Sylva, Jackson County.

As always, any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Back before the asteroid killed the dinosaurs, which disaster allowed Bill Gates et al  to evolve , there were things called telly phones and places in buildings built of brick called liberries  and these liberries had things called micro fillum where newspapers were . There was people called liberry ladies who could look at the fillums and tell the other people on the telly phones stuff.

@ EDdie .. you did done forgotted the micro fishies, and the whatsits to read those fishies.  (Dunno why anyone would want to read a fishie, but that's what they did (and so did I).)

The Jackson Co. Journal March 19, 1931 has a complete article on Wiley and Jim Bryson.

I went to the Chronicling American site, but could only find issues for 1913-1919. Is there a link to a site, or do I need to make the short trip to Sylva?

Answer 1

I'm reading a small article now from the 09Feb1932 Asheville Citizen-Times and have clipped it from Newspapers.com. If you send me a private message I'll reply with an attachment or two including what I think you're looking for.
