Friday night. Bass was shot through
the throat and neck and died in
stantly. The evidence taken before
the justice of the peace showed that
there vas a reckless firing Of guns.
No one seemed to be angry and the
killing was more likely to have been
the result of criminal carelessness
than anything else, One negro was
released and Seford Spencer was
held for manslaughter. No one saw
him fire the shot. He furnished a
$500 bond and was released.
