A notorious character, identified as Tlchnell, was arrested by police in Fairmont, West Virginia, on the night of May 12, 1910, for a brutal assault on a local bartender. The victim, Judge Brown, a respected member of the community, was struck over the head with a baseball bat, fracturing his skull. Witnesses reported that Tlchnell’s attack was sudden and without provocation, leaving Brown fighting for his life. Authorities believe that the charge of felonious assault may be upgraded to murder as Brown’s condition worsens.
