The shooting took place about 10 o’clock. Charlie Craft, age about 63, is charged with the crime and is held in the county jail on a murder charge. Both Walters and Craft live at Meally, on Buffalo Creek. Craft was placed in the county jail by Sheriff Julius Daniel less than an hour after the shooting. A court of inquiry was held Sunday before Magistrate Gus Meade who held Craft under $3,000 bond. According to the best information available Walters and another youth from the Meally section were sitting on the end of the bridge when Craft and three other men came along and for some cause as yet unknown Craft fired two shots, one of which passed through the youth’s heart, killing him instantly. After the shooting the four men, together with Walters; companion fled, leaving the youth lying upon the bridge floor. The boy’s mother, Mrs. Glenn Walters, was an occupant of the first car to cross the bridge. After the car had passed the body the mother, thinking someone was drunk, became uneasy and asked the driver to return to the scene, remarking, "That might be my son." It was found that the youth was dead. The slain youth is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Glenn Walters and a grandson of the late Billie Walters, who formerly conducted a store in Greentown.
