Charles Smith was held yesterday in 500 bond for the grand jury by Judge Howard in Jamaica Plain on charges of assault with intent to murder. The case stems from a December 16 shooting that wounded Eugene Smith and Carmini Todesco during sewer work at Forest Hills on South Street. Eugene Smith is reportedly confined to his Syracuse home and may be unable to testify.
