O Connell Bound Over For Grand Jury In Mt Sterling
Thomas O Connell charged with the murder of Elwood Lent near Mt Sterling was bound over to the grand jury Friday with bonds of 10000. He will be escorted by a deputy sheriff and must stay within Mt Sterling city limits until the grand jury convenes Monday. The defense plans to claim self defense and prosecutors, led by Brown county State's Attorney R E Vandeventer, say the case is strong. Witness John Whited testified that O Connell fired on Lent after a sequence involving Whited and a stolen gas pipe. Lent, 66, was killed by two shotgun blasts, with 62 buckshot tied to his death. The trial is expected before week’s end before Judge Pitt Williams of Havana.
