The Case of State VS.. Shannon on
Trial in Essex County Court at

Charles Shannon was begun Tuesday.
The State put in it's evidence and
Shannon took the stand but Court
was unable to proceed with the trial
Thursday forenoon owing to the i'll
ness Of Shannon. His testimony was
taken up in the afternoon and the
case will probably not be finished

This case is the aftermath of q
drunken brawl which took place on
Railroad street at Island Pond, No
vember 9, 1916. in which Archie Rig
gle was shot and killed by Shannon.
The fight took place at the home of

influence of liquor.
Shannon was aiding OWL Riggie,
his brother-in-law, and carried his
revolver. Young Archie Riggie was
going to his brothers assistance
when Shannon fired two shots for the
purpose, as stated by him, Shannon,
of soaring away the crowd. Both
these shots hit Archie Riggie, one
entering his chest and the other sew
ering an artery in his neck, and the
boy soon died from hemorrhage.
Shannon did not admit at first that
he shot his brother-in-laW. An in
vestigation followed and Attorney
general Barber was preset to assist
States Attorney Powell. Nothing
definite developed for several days.
A detective was given the case and
got confession from Shannon,
and November Is Shannon was ar
rested by Deputy Sheriff E. A. Be-
mis-, and was brought before Judge
Lund December 7. He was bound
over to a hearing before the grand
jury at the April term of county
court. Shannon was placed under

Shannon is 27 years old, a resident
