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.
