McCary Gives Bond
for His Appearance

Frak Mccary, negro miner OF
Grant Town, who has been receiv-
ing treatment at the Fairmont
State hospital for two weeks for
a gun shot wound through his left
breast, is about able to leave the
hospital. Sheriff Charlton, learn
ing'ot the rapid recovery Of Nc
Carl, sent a deputy sheriff to the
tSspital to place him under ar
rtBt and bring him to the county
jail, where he was to be held as a
material witness, in shooting
affair.
When Deputy Sheriff Ed Haw-
kins called at the hospital for his
man, attending physicians an
nounced that McCary was not ply
sically able to be taken TO the Jail.
Friends Of the negro got busy and
made arrangements to have him
furnish q $3.50 bond for his ap-
pearance when wanted. He was
then released by the officers and
will probably go to his home at
Grant Town today.
McCary is being held for the
part he played in a free-for-all
fight which ended in a cutting and
shooting ARRAY at the union's
commissary at Graut Town on
March 2. George Cunningham,
who fred the saot that sent Nc
Cary to the hospital, is also a
prisoner in the County !ail.
Cunningham. WIS was n ctaIge
OF the "ommissa.y. CAV hi'aHeli
up to she officers f1l!;,.t .tS The
shooting and claimed that lie Slot
in self defense. Cunningham told
the officers when arrested that
McCary came to the commissary
after some provisions and started
an argument that ended in a fight.
[ Cunningham claims that he was
getting the best Of the fight when
McCary pulled a penknife and
stabbed at him. He then obtained
the gun and shot McCary. Nc
Cary tells the same story with the
exception that he denies that he
struck at Cunningham with a
knife.
The men will be given a prelim-
mary hearing in Magistrate NJ. R.
Musgroye's court in a day or two.
