Hearing for Charlie Bumgardner, Charged with Murder, Set for July 26, 1926

Bumgardner Hearing During Court Term. . . Criminal Docket of Court Term Has Few Important Cases. . . Will be of Short Duration

Charlie Bumgardner, young Kings Mountain man, formally charged with shooting his wife, will be given a hearing during the Superior Court term which convenes here July 26, according to the preliminary docket.

It will be remembered that Mrs. Bumgardner died of a shot-gun wound said to have been accidentally inflicted. However, the shooting and its details will be investigated by the court.

Otherwise the criminal docket of the coming term promises to be a tame affair and should last only about two or three days, Gorge P. Webb, veteran court clerk, believes two days will clear up the criminal cases unless several more come up from Recorder Mull’s court.

Judge Henry P. Lane, it is understood, will preside over the term, which has but few cases of general public interest of the docket.
