BROTHERS HELD
 IN KILLING CASE
Girl Figures In Staying Of Richard Lee Near
 GeOrgiana

GREENVILLE, Ala, May 3.-(Spe- cial. .)-Alvin and Gordon Fuller, broth CTS, charged with killing Richard Lee, near Georgiana, last Sunday afternoon, were bound ever to await the action of the grand jury without bond at a preliminary hearing here today. The case was heard by Judge J. A. Stock ton, who rendered his decision shortly gument.
 The hearing was witnessed by a packed courtroom.
 The tragedy occurred on the out skirts of Georgiana, and, according to testimony offered, was the continuation of a bitter feeling the slain man had against Alvin Fuller.
 The defense. through it's attorneys, Powell and Hamilton, attempted to show that Gordon Fuller killed Lee in the defense of his brother. Estelle Lee, the girl prominent in the case, testi- fled that Alvin Fuller, one of the ac- cused men, had on two occasions made threats against her father, but that she did not inform her father of it. Doctors Robert Watson and Crawford Watson, physicians who attended the dead man, related on the witness stand the dying declaration of Richard Lee.
 Their testimony did not corroborate in its entirity. The latter testified that the dying man did not say that he shot at Alvin Fuller. Dr. Robert Watson made this statement.
 The defense offered testimony through witnesses to the effect that Lee began the shooting, and that Alvin Fuller was unarmed.
 The unwritten law will, no doubt, figure prominently in the case.
