Father Held For Shooting Young Son
W. R. Keller of Egeria faced a grand jury after a preliminary hearing before Magistrate J. P. Meadows and was jailed on a 509 bond for maiming his 25 year old son Howard. Keller denied firing the gun claiming the boy sparked the shot in self defense. Keller’s wife Margaret and five children testified the shooting was deliberate, saying he thrust the weapon toward Howard and deflected it, hitting Keller in the leg. Howard, at Beckley Hospital, said there was no argument, replying “Meanness” when asked why. The wound left a leg protrusion about half dollar in size, hospital officials reported.
