Officers First Thought Stamper Killing ‘Faked’
But later report states 28 bullet wounds found in body
Special to the Leader
Winchester, Ky., June 30 – a “hill country killin’,” so much like fantastic fiction that those who witnessed the tragedy could scarcely believe what they had seen, was reviewed today by official of Clark and Wolfe counties.
R. Boyd Stamper, 40, under indictment on charges of murder in Breathitt county, and brought to the Clark county jail April 27 after failure to post a peace bond on another charge, was shot to death Friday afternoon in front of the home of his father-in-law, Taylor Brewer, 12 miles south of Campton, Wolfe county.
Late Friday night, two Wolfe countians, John Clair, 43, and Arlie Hatton, 25, surrendered to Sheriff S.J. Stamper, and allegedly admitted they killed Stamper after they had warned him not to enter Brewer’s gate.
Clark County Jailer Omer Booth and Deputy Sheriff Geobel Rice, on order of Circuit Judge J. Brack Howard, Royalton, had removed Stamper to Wolfe county Friday to visit the latter’s two sons, 5 and 7 years old, who reside at the Brewer home. The officers, with Stamper, drove to Slade, and continued the journey in the automobile of Carl Maze, nephew of Stamper.
When they reached the Brewer home, five miles from the Jackson-Winchester highway, Stamper stepped from the automobile and started through the gate. A fusillade of shots fired from within the house, felled Stamper. Maze shouted, “They’ve killed Boyd!” and the trio ran from the scene as the firing continued. Jailer Booth, separated from the other two, made his way a half-mile down Holley creek to a religious meeting and informed the crowd Stamper had been shot.
Booth was told not to return to the scene of the shooting if he knew what “was good” for him, and a volunteer mounted a mule and rode up the valley. He returned 20 minutes later and reported, “Yep, Boyd’s a layin’ up there in the gate dead.”
A mail carrier, riding horse-back insisted that Booth ride his horse back to the main highway, two miles distant by a “short cut” over the mountain. The postman walked beside the mounted jailer on the return trip. Shortly after they left the fathering at the creek, the mail carrier said he had me the man who killed Stamper, quoting him as saying, “I just killed Boyd Stamper and I’m going in to give up.” Booth was warned “not to say anything to anybody around here about the shooting as it might cause trouble.”
The mailman, carrying a 45-calibre pistol he used “to guard the government’s property,” hailed a passing motorist and requested that Booth be given a ride to Slade. Maze and Rice returned to Slade by bus. The two officers attempted to communicate with Wolfe county officers late Friday night, but efforts to determine whether Stamper was dead were futile early Saturday morning.
The victim’s body, covered with 28 rifle and shotgun wounds, was taken to the J.R. Blake and Son funeral home in Jackson late Friday night by Stamper’s father, a Breathitt county farmer. Until today, officers here believed it possible that the shooting could have been “faked” to obtain Stamper’s release. Due to a heavy rain falling at the time, the three men with Stamper were unable to determine definitely where the shots came from, or whether Stamper had been hit.
Stamper was to have been returned to Jackson next week for trial in the Breathitt circuit court on charges of murder.
The victim and his wife were divorced years ago. Before leaving for Wolfe county Friday morning, Stamper stopped at a local grocery store and purchased some candy and fruit “for the kids.” The sack containing the gifts was found beside his body.

Two Are Held After Slaying
John Clair and Arlie Hatton surrender to Wolfe County Sheriff following ambush killing
No Motive Advanced
Campton, Ky., June 20 (AP) – Following their surrender to Sheriff Fred Stamper today, John Clair and Arlie Hatton were being held in the Wolfe county jail here charged with murder. The sheriff said the pair told him they had killed R. Boyd Stamper, 40, a prisoner slain from ambush in front of the home of his father-in-law, Taylor Brewer, as he was going to visit his two children.
Boyd Stamper who is not related to the sheriff, was in custody of Jailer Omer Booth and Deputy Sheriff Geobel Rice, of Clark county. He was awaiting trail for the alleged slaying of Kelly Shackelford in a school election fight last July.
Sheriff Stamper was unable to give a motive for the shooting. He said he found the body “simply riddled with butter holes.”
Booth said that as he and Rice left the car in front of the Stamper home a few miles from Slade, several shots rang out and Stamper fell. The officers and Carl Maze, Stamper’s nephew, fled to the woods, became separated, and later met at Slade.
Unfamiliar with the country, Booth and Rice decided after their meeting in Slade that it would be futile to attempt to get back to investigate the shooting.
Stamper was taken to Winchester in April facing an arson charge, in addition to the charge resulting from the shooting of Shackelford. He had also been under a peace bond.

Six Are Slain In Blue Grass Voting Fights
Three others wounded as guns bark at polling booths; probe under way
Kentucky’s ever-ready election guns have blazed again, and as a result six men are dead, one is critically wounded and two others hurt less seriously, according to dispatches.
Five of the six dead in a gun battle late Saturday at Prater Creek, near Prestonburg, Ky., in a crowded voting booth during a school trustee election. The sixth was slain in a gun fight at an election booth at Paxton, near Jackson, Ky., where a school trustees also was being elected.
Those killed in the Prater Creek fight are: Wilburn con, 38; his uncle, Wayne Click, 40; Mimms Conn, 45, his son, Millard Conn, 21, and Green Conn, 62, father of Wilburn. Lawrence Conn, 23, another son of Green Conn, is in critical condition at a Prestonburg hospital, a bullet wound in his abdomen. Ike Conn, wounded in the side, and Hayden Howell, shot in the shoulder, were the two slightly wounded men.
The shooting was classified as the worst shooting in Kentucky in recent years.
Details Vague
Ike Conn has been arrested by Sheriff B.L. Sturgill, pending further investigation of the shooting, details of which still are vague. Conflicting tales have been told Floyd-co authorities as to the cause of the conflict.
A number of witnesses told officers the shooting followed an arguement in which followers of Sol Sammons, leading candidate for the school trustee post, contended it was time to close the voting booth, which supporters of Arnold Robinette, the other candidate, contended that two more minutes remained for casting ballots.
Funs were pulled out suddenly and the shooting began, with participants ranged on both side of the table in the booth. More than 50 shots were fired during the battle, officers were told.
Another version of the shooting was that it began when a man in the crowd surrounding the table snatched a tally list from the election official after the time had arrived for voting to stop.
Two Killed On Spot
Wilburn Conn and Wayne Click were killed instantly. Mimms and Millard Conn died a short time later in a hospital and Green Conn died late Sunday at a Pikesville hospital. Lawrence Conn has no change to survive his wound, physicians said Monday.
Kelly Shackelford, 40, Jackson, Ky., was shot and killed instantly at the battle near Paxton. Shackelford, police were told, was shot by Lacy Lindon, an election officer. No arrests have been made.
Breathitt-co officers were told that Lindon shot the victim when Shackelford pulled a pistol. Lindon, it was reported, had ordered the voting booth to be cleared so that voting might be started, and Shackelford drew his pistol when ordered out. The two men had had trouble previously, it was reported.

Slain at Breathitt School Vote
Special to the Courier-Journal
Jackson, Ky., July 1. – Kelly Shackelford, 40 years old, was shot and killed in a quarrel at a school election near Paxton, seventeen miles north of Jackson at 1 o’clock this afternoon.
Officers here were told that Lacy Lindon, election officer, shot and killed Shackelford as the latter attempted to draw a pistal. It was reported Lindon had ordered the school room cleared in order that the election could get under way. Shackelford refused to leave, it was reported and, when ordered out by Lindon, started to draw his weapon. Lindon beat him to the draw and shot him, witnesses said.
Coroner James T. Goff left this afternoon for the school to investigate the killing. No arrest had been made early tonight.
Officers were told Shackelford and Lindon had had trouble before.
