Lee Fun Howe's
Bond Is Reduced
Upon Motion Of Counsel
For Chinaman Judge J.
Paul Frizzelle Reduces
| Bond From $5,000 To
$1,000
Wilmington, May 21.?On moItion
of L. Clayton Grant, defense
counsel, Judge J. Paul Frizzelle
of Snow Hill has reduced the
i $5,000 bond in the case of Lee
Fun Howe, local Chinese laundry
worker, to $1,000. He is being
IiaIH in Rninmuinlr nnnntv iail
Southport in connection with the
hit-and-run death of Clinton Hewett,
6, of Supply.
Howe, former Sino-Japanese
war aviator, is scheduled to stand
trial at the October term of court
at Southport.
He was bound over following a
preliminary hearing before Justice
of the Peace Lucian Phelps,
' at Supply, on April 29. He had j
i been placed under arrest the pre-1
I vious week by Sheriff C. David i
Jones, of New Hanover. The
Hewett child was fatally injured
by an automobile on April 22 as '
he watched a group of his play- j
j mates getting on a school bus a1
few miles from Supply.
At the preliminary hearing giv- j
en Howe shortly after the fatal:'
accident, there was some discus-j
| sion of allowing him to be removed
to the New Hanover county
jail. All questions concerning
matter were disposed of last
week when Sheriff J. A. Russ
declared that the prisoner would
be held in the Brunswick county
jail unless he was able to provide '
bond. 1 (
