OF AUGUSTA POLICE
Jack Graham, who was
wanted in connection with the

the Grady Hospital as a result
of slashing his wrist and throat
with a razor blade while
another report had him being
transfered from the Veterans
Administration Hospital to
Grady Hospital suffering from
an overdose of drugs.
At any rate none of these
reports could be subtantiated.
Graham’s wife, Mrs. Burma
West Graham, of 2220 Baxter
Court was shot once through
the chest with a .22 caliber
rifle that fired a long rifle
hollow point bullet that went
completely through her body.
She was pronounced dead on
arrival at University Hospital.
Mrs. Graham had just
alighted from an automobile
with a male riend at 1006
Milledge Rd. When another
automobile pulled up and a
man fired a rifle striking Mrs.
Graham. The male friend
wrestled the rifle from the man
who then drove off.
The Grahams were
estranged.
