Salisbury, Sept. 5—In county court today the case against C.B. Williams for shooting Frank Brown, Spencer merchant, which was sent up to superior court yesterday, was re-opened, and the indictment changed from assault with intent to kill to one charging assault with a deadly weapon. In this form the county court had jurisdiction and Mr. Williams was let off with payment of the costs. The shooting occurred when Williams, a Southern railway engineer, caught Brown in the Williams’s home.
