Jacksonville, N.C., July 31 (AP)—Solicitor J.A. Powers, who yesterday directed the coroner’s jury probe into the death of Ellis Hollis, Hilly Ridge youth, was this afternoon en route to his home at Kinston after refusing to agree to fixing bonds for the five youths ordered held yesterday.
Coroner G.W. Jones this morning announced that additional evidence had been secured during the night and that the investigation would probably be opened next week.
Attorneys for the boys held in jail stated today that unless an agreement is reached early next week for bonds, they would seek to release the defendants under habeas corpus proceedings.
