Charlotte, Jan. 29—J.L. James, former grocery store and pool room proprietor, was held for investigation by the county grand jury today after the coroner’s jury had inquired into the death of Miss Lizzie Lawrence, who died Tuesday night a few hours after being struck by an automobile owned and operated by Mr. James. Mr. James was allowed liberty under a $12,000 bond.
Only two witnesses were examined. These were J.A. Clanton, an occupant of the car that struck Miss Lawrence, and H.L. Helms, who aided in carrying her to the hospital. A negro was driving the car.
