Dan Flemming Held On Murder Charge
Dan Flemming age 34 is held in the city jail on a murder charge after a Saturday night shooting near the city. A preliminary hearing before Judge Llewellyn is planned Friday morning with bail possible after the hearing. Flemming, a sub foreman at a local furniture factory, surrendered to officers at once. Ball, 30, a worker in town, died from shots to the heart and thigh. Ball had quarrelled with Flemming’s brother in law, Alderman, earlier that day, and the men met again later that night. Ball’s relatives live in West Virginia, while Flemming has three children. The case is expected to hinge on self defense claims.
