Man to Face District Court After Shooting
J W McElroy of 608 E Tilden St bound over to district court after a preliminary hearing on charges he attempted to kill Mrs Mary Weaver of 566 E Summit St. Weaver testified the shooting seemed accidental while in a taxi with four children. Cab driver Wayne Rhoads said McElroy confronted the cab urging her return before a pistol fired when she knocked it away. McElroy’s brother George said he removed the gun earlier and later after Weaver reported being shot. Weaver was hit in the upper right chest and spent 13 days in the hospital. Bond was set at 2500 by Justice J C Jones.
