Newson Bound To Jury In Garfield Shooting
Charles Clarence Newson 24 of 1601 Garfield Sr. was bound to the Butler County Grand Jury in Municipal Court on a breaking and entering charge with intent to shoot a woman. Bond set at 5000 dollars. He was wounded in both thighs after an argument and pleaded not guilty. The woman Lessie Thomas testified a man knocked at the door and threatened to shoot the lock. Newson allegedly tore a kitchen window screen and entered. Thomas fired two shots, pursued by threats, firing four more. Newson was shot twice. Newson admitted breaking into the kitchen but denied threats, saying he wanted to talk and offer money to end the relationship. Police say he had been living with Thomas on Walnut Street for about a year. Other cases were disposed by Judge Lamb with various fines and suspended sentences. Traffic fines were also imposed. A $25 check with insufficient funds against Chester L. Jackson was withdrawn at the complainant’s request.
