Grand Jury's Possible Indictments Delayed in Bruce Snipes Murder Case, Dec. 13, 1924

Grand Jury May Have Returned Indictments. . . More Developments Are Expected to Case of the Skeleton Found in an Old Well

Winston-Salem, Dec. 12—The Forsyth grand jury adjourned this afternoon and filed its report with Judge T.B. Finley, who is presiding over the term of Superior Court. It is understood that the jury acted upon a bill in the case of Bruce Snipes, the skeleton of whom was found in an old unused well a few miles south of the city early last week, and who is believed to have been murdered by parties not now definitely known. The contents of the grand jury action was filed with the court, and by request of officials he declined to reveal its contents. Peter Phillips and Annie Snipes, the latter being a widow of the man to have been foully dealt with, are still in jail, and will be held pending further investigations and proceedings.
