MAXWELL FACES
MANSLAUGHTER
No Murder Charge Against
Him For Fatal Fight
at Tavern

Any possibility that Harold "Ci-
der" Maxwell, 81, of Watertowa,
might be tried for murder in con-
nection with the death of Harry B.
Watts, 81, of Oakville was erased
today when States Attorney Law
renee l.. Lewis announced he would
call no grand jury in an attempt to
have them return an Indictment
against Maxwell. The maximum
charge that can be placed against
Maxwell under these circumstances
is that Of manslaughter. In order
that charge of murder in either
first or second degree might be pre-
ferred, it would be necessary for the
grand jury to hear the case and
return the indictment.
Held without Bail
Maxwell is at the present time
being held in the New Haven county
jail, without bond. He has been held
since March IL when he appeared IN
city court, waived examination on
the murder charge presented
against him and was bound over by
Judge Edward Mascol0.
Since that time it has been a
matter of conjecture as to whether
or not States Attorney Lewis would
call a grand jury.
Fatal Fight
Maxwell is charged with the kill
ing of Harry B. Watts, in fight
at Bruneau's restaurant, Watertown
avenue, Sunday morning, February
20. Watts died while being taken to
doctors hospital. In a finding is
sued March IL, Deputy Coroner
Walter w. Srnyth held Maxwell
criminally responsible for Watts
death.
1t will now be possible for Max
well to be released from Jail, pro-
vided he can post the bond set. He

Judge r. b. O'Sullivan, April 10.
Attorney Theodore v. Meyer. who
represents Maxwell stated today
that an immediate move would be
made to have Maxwell released on
bonds. The maximum sentence in
raanslaughter case is IS years.
