Bond Set at $10,000 in Murder Case at Half Way Station
Fred Smith, charged with murder in the slaying of James Akin at the Half Way Station on Thanksgiving, had bond set at $10,000 by Justice of Peace Bob Bensing after a reluctant agreement from the assistant district attorney. Witnesses described a day of cockfighting, drinking, and a bar fight preceding the shooting, with Smith claiming he killed the boy, his stepson, out of anger and fear. The shotgun was admitted as evidence and Smith’s brother testified, while the boy’s mother and grandmother were not present.
