Willis Young Granted Bail In Murder Case
Willis Young, jailed since November 5 on a charge of killing W. B. Meatte, was granted bail by Judge W. A. Green in a habeas corpus proceeding brought by Von Mayes Ward & Collins. Testimony showed the shooting occurred after a quarrel over pecans, self defense claimed, Meatte allegedly approached with a knife, and no prior threats or grudge. Bright's disease patient needed release, and a local petition by prominent Mayti citizens supported bail, with bond signed by numerous business leaders.
