Court To Hear Bare's Motion
A motion to set aside the jury verdict of voluntary manslaughter against Robert E. Bare of Mac Arthur will be heard by Raleigh County Criminal Court Judge Harry L. McCreery at 10 a m on Friday November 17. Bare was found guilty October 25 at the close of a three day trial for the murder of Fred Duncan also of MacArthur. Joseph Luchini attorney for the 36 year old contractor raised questions concerning admission of evidence the defendant's right to arm himself and a prejudicial error in the reversal of a ruling on admission of evidence concerning threats made by the victim out of hearing of the defendant. The fatal shooting according to testimony in the trial occurred at the Miners Inn in Crab Orchard following a day of drinking and fighting by the two men.
