An order freeing Gene Hall, 18 year old L ee County farm youth, from his $3,000 bond was signed here Friday by Circuit Judge Raymond T. Jarvis. The signing of the order followed the final report of the November grand jury, which failed t o indict the youth on a ch arge of murder growing out of the tal May 27 shooting of the , ou th's father, Pete Hall. In effect the order and the lack of grand jury action freed the youth from the charge of murder unless ,a future grand j.ury files an indictment against him on the same charge. Young Hall was arrested S_aturday night, May 27, follow ing the shotgun death of his father at the family farm southwest of here. , The youth was bound over to await action of the November grand jury on a charge of ~urder shortly after the shooting. He had been free under the $3,000 bond since the action referring the charge to the grand jury. Main co\,lrt action Friday was· confined to the trial of a $5,000 civil damage suit brought by the parents of a 13 year old Pascagoula girl against two Lee Countians Louis Gandy artd R. I. Ivy. Th~ start of the trial was delayed until Friday afterno~m when Thursday night's snow storm prevented the arrival of witnesses. Judge Jarvis adjourned court at 5:15 p.m. and set the start of proceedings today at 8 :30 a .m. The jury was confined to hotel accommodations overnight. The suit is the outgrowth of an automobile collision in August, 1948, involving a t_ruck owned ' by Mr. Gandy and dnven by Mr. fJ vy. The 13-year-old girl, Wanda Byrd, was a passenger in the car driven by her father. The coll ision took place approximately three miles north of Macon on Highway 45.
