A California legislator shot and stabbed by a lobbyist on the floor of the Assembly dies of his wounds

In the state capitol at Sacramento, California, John C. Bell, a thirty-five year old Democratic assemblyman from El Dorado, had been shot and stabbed in the Assembly chamber four days before and died of his wounds.  His assailant was a lobbyist named Dr. W.H. Stone, a native of Kentucky who was critical of Bell for holding up the creation of a new county. They had argued and Stone had shot Bell once and then stabbed him five times.  (By John Osborne)
