A Canton gunwoman with remarkable aim killed a man in a public place. Five bullets hit the body as he fell, she calmly walked to a corner and hailed a Canton bus. A $1,000 reward for the shooter's arrest and reconviction was posted by county commissioners, possibly to induce cooperation from the underworld. The motive remains a mystery. Witnesses included Mary Fearn and her nine year old daughter Kathryn. The Fearn home was sealed and family relocated to sponsor’s house as police search intensifies.
