Murder at Ray's Berrien county ends in inquest
A fatal shooting at Ray's Berrien county last Friday near a family feud over inheritance led to Pearson's death. Eyewitnesses, including Pearson's mother and sister, testified amid a crowd at Knight's store as Beigies and Pearson clashed over a division of property. The coroner's inquest ruled the killing willful murder, with Beigies implicated as the shooter. Separately, Miss Lector Sexton sought protection from her mother and sister, ending with her placement with her brother-in-law George Elliott after a police inquiry. A later incident involving Miss Sexton and her mother prompted police to escort her home. In a third item, a shooting misadventure between Frank Ponsnes and Carica Gibbs at a police court session resulted in minor injuries and light penalties for the involved youths.
