Hendersonville, N.C., Oct. 7 (AP)—The grand jury here today returned a true bill charging V.E. Grant with the murder of Adam Ballenger. An order for transfer of the trial to Federal court was immediately presented, with indications that Judge Harding would sign it during the day.
Ballenger was killed on the night of July 24 in a running fight with prohibition officers. When his car stopped, he ran into a wood nearby where his body was found several days later. A quantity of liquor is alleged to have been in Ballenger’s automobile. Grant is out under a bond of $10,000.
