Sterling early Tuesday morning by Carl Stockdale, 24. The killing
occurred about 2:30 o'clock at the Miller Tire Station and Lunch Room
across Main Street from the old Beaumont Hotel. Eubank was said
to have been shot three times with a .38 caliber revolver. Two
shots took effect in his head and one in the abdomen.
Accounts of the shooting vary somewhat but it is generally
agreed that Stockdale was eating a "hot dog" in the Miller place when
Eubank entered and suggested that he take Stockdale home.
Stockdale, who was said to have been drinking, resented the offer and
started shooting. Eubank lived several hours after the shooting.
Stockdale escaped to the S. Q. S. road house at the east
end of Mt. Sterling on the Owingsville road and was later taken by Mt.
Sterling officers at the home of William French at Sewell's shop west
of Mt. Sterling.
Stockdale has a bad record, having spent the great part of

Earle Wilson Ginter
Bath County News-Outlook Thursday, June 1, 1939
Earl Ginter Killed Resisting Officers
Town Marshal Gregory Fires fatal Shot
Earle Ginter, 23 years old, was shot fatally here last
Saturday night when he resisted arrest by Town Marshal Ray Gregory and
Jailer Jess Jackson. A ball from the town marshal's pistol
entered Ginter's right side just above the hip bone. Taken to a
Lexington hospital following the shooting, he lived until late Monday
afternoon.
Following Ginter's death, Gregory was placed under arrest
by Sheriff Clark Rogers and lodged in the county jail. He was
released Tuesday morning under $10,000 bond pending his examining
trail, a date for which had not been set today because of the condition
of jailer Jackson, who suffered a serious injury to his hip in the
struggle with Ginter at the time of the shooting.
Ginter, it was said, was drinking and using rough and
obscene language on the street when he was approached by the town
marshal, who told him to go home. Ginter ignored Marshal
Gregory's request and a short time later was placed under arrest and
started toward the jail between Gregory and Jailer Jess Jackson.
As the three stepped up on the side walk
in front of the jail, Ginter broke loose from the two officers, knocked
Gregory flat on his back with a blow from his fist on one side and
Jackson
on the other, Jackson suffered an injured hip in the fall and was
unable
to arise. Ginter turned his attention from Jackson to Gregory and
as the latter attempted to get to his feet, made an effort to wrest the
marshal's pistol from its holder. Gregory beat him to the gun and
fired, the ball striking Ginter above the hip bone on the right side.
Ginter was sentenced to the penitentiary at the October
term, 1936, of Bath circuit court for three years for the killing of
his cousin, Sam Clay Ginter, near Kendall Springs in June of that
year. He was
released several months ago from the state penitentiary at Eddyville,
having
served his time. Since his return he had made his home with his
parents,
Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Ginter, in this county.
Ginter's body was brought to Shrout, Piper & Shrout
funeral home here Tuesday morning, where it was prepared for burial and
later taken to the home of his parents at Kendall Springs.
Funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon at the Kendall Springs
church, conducted by the
Rev. Parks. Burial took place in the Kendall Springs cemetery.
Besides his parents, he is survived by three sisters, Mrs.
Sam Hornback, of Mt. Sterling; Miss Imogene Ginter, Cincinnati, and
Miss Anna
Pearl Ginter, at home; three brothers, Clyde Ginter, Bourbon county,
and
Charles and Ollie Ginter, of Bath county. Bath
