Duelists File Counter Charges in Razor-Knife Case
Turnabout seems fair play in a razor knife case as Elizabeth Evans alias adorn Green, 23, waived preliminary hearing to the Raleigh County Grand Jury after being arraigned on a felonious assault charge. She posted a $1,000 appearance bond. The charges follow an armed conflict on June 16 at A. L. Jones’s home, Commercial Street. A separate complaint charges Alice Blaney with armed assault. Blaney had complained first, then Blaney’s charge against Frane Blaney, now serving six months for discharging a weapon, was also waived to the Grand Jury. The sequence began with a dispute between the two women at Blaney’s home on Commercial Street.
