Police are seeking three brothers, James, Lee Ed and George Franklin, in connection with a little altercation in a colored restaurant on Culpepper street on Christmas Eve, in which Riddick is said to have been struck with a bottle and cut about the head. All four are colored, and all live in the Corinth community.
Officers also are investigating a report that a negro was shot in the leg the night before Christmas, somewhere in the vicinity of the City Market. Definite details were not available Saturday. The shooting was said to have resulted from a quarrel in which moonshine liquor was involved.
