New Camps Approved as Kellman Case Advances

An examining trial for George W. Kellman, 45, ex Wilson County commissioner charged with murder, was set for Monday before Justice of the Peace O. L. Wiley. A writ of habeas corpus to free Kellman on bond was held in abeyance due to court workload. Kellman is accused of shooting Jesus Quintera Jr., 26, of Graytown, on Saturday night. Kellman served Wilson County as commissioner 1917–1922 and as deputy sheriff 1923–1984. Also, permits for two new rail camps in San Antonio were approved by city sanitary engineer W. S. Stanley, with details for camps at North St. Mary’s and Fitzhugh streets and another at 1128 Avenue B, each with specified capacity.
