Lee Harris Gets a Continuance
Coopertown. Feb.14 [Special]
         The trial of Lee Harris, charged with brutally beating his brother-in-law Jack Ledbetter has been continued to next term of court. Harris is accused of assaulting the old man with a bludgeon while he was bedridden. Ledbetter died recently, and it is believed that Harris' alleged beating had a good deal with causing his death.
         * note Lee Harris was not Jack Ledbetter's brother in law, but his son in law. Some books have transcribed this article and fixed this error.
