Hercules to Waive Hearing in Tama Manslaughter Case
Bob Hercules surrendered after the fatal shooting of his brother Asus Hercules at their Tama county farm near Reinberk. He will waive the preliminary hearing and await grand jury action, with bonds arranged for his release. Officials doubt an indictment, citing rumors of Asus's instability and letters implying harm. Bob says he acted to protect his life amid alleged insults from Asus.
