Rhinehardt to Pay $1,450 to Senator Graham After Fracturing His Skull in Fight, Nov. 3, 1923

Rhinehardt Is Fined for Injuring Graham

By the Associated Press

Charlotte, N.C., Nov. 2—John F. Rhinehardt, prominent Lincoln county man, was required to pay $1,450 to former State Senator W.A. Graham, of that county, on account of injuries inflicted in an attack by Rhinehardt several months ago, it was learned here today. Rhinehardt submitted in Lincoln county superior court last week to charges of assault and battery, but Judge Webb, presiding, withheld his decision.

A civil action contemplated by former Senator Graham as a result of his injury has been compromised, it was said.

Senator Graham’s skull was fractured in the fight, and his recovery was doubted by attaches of a Charlotte hospital for a week or more when complications developed.
