Exoneration in Thompson Death Sparks Alexandria Trial
A coroner's jury finds Frederick Lee Thompson not criminally responsible for the death of Jesse Sprouse after a dispute over a catcher's glove led to a fight during a ball game near Alexandria. Sprouse, 10 to 16, died at Alexandria Hospital from a head injury. Witnesses say Thompson struck with a bat in a childish quarrel, and medical testimony noted Sprouse's unusually thin skull. The body will be sent to Hickory Hill, Virginia for burial. Apartment firm Airy View Incorporates in Alexandria with stock between 0 and 10000 dollars. Frank S. Harper buys northwest corner King and Payne streets for 5625 at auction.
