Memorial Day 1931 Fatal Wounding Over Pool Room Shooting
A man fatally wounded on Memorial Day 1931 interrupted Corry and two companions taking a clandestine swim in a public school natatorium. The trial featured a "singing jury" and lasted four and a half hours. Corry was originally convicted, then granted a new trial by the state supreme court. The defense claimed the shooter acted in terror after Smith appeared, with alienists saying he could not distinguish right from wrong. Corry admitted the shot but denied understanding its meaning.
