Witnesses Describe Fatal Shooting At The Rove Tavern
Jurors hear a detailed account of the July 10 shooting at The Rove in Cool Ridge where Charles Hartsell Bruce died. Testimony from tavern owner Mrs Josephine Kunkel and others details a tangle between George Norman Vannoy and Sidney Marshall Anderson over trucks and keys, a gun discharging during a struggle, and Vannoy pacing and cursing as events unfolded. Prosecution argues Vannoy was the aggressor while defense notes conflicting witness positions. The trial also notes a Raleigh Wyoming counties press association meeting at Stoco High School with student editors in attendance.
