The commonwealth builds a case against Ray Williams on a felonious assault charge tied to a brown Shiek hat and a typewriter paper with helioglyphics.

Prosecutor James Holt and attorney J Guy Allender led the questioning while Williams, wearing a black felt hat, listened closely. The hearing noted alleged motive of robbery from Kalanderas’ East Main Street establishments, with no clear alibi offered by Williams.
