Durham, June 3—Robert Steele, young white man, victim of an attack with a baseball bat at his home on May 23, and who has since been lingering between life and death, died at 6:35 tonight at Watts Hospital. Everett and Joe Hardy are in jail and Sidney Edwards, the third man in the party, from Carrboro, Orange County, who are charged with the attack, gave a $500 bond and were released.
Everett Hardy will be charged with using the bat and beating in Steele’s face, crushing his forehead bone, breaking his nose and knocking loose his upper teeth. Time for the preliminary hearing had not been set tonight.
