' The old drama of thrills and heart throbs, "Brother Against Brother," seemed to be on the boards in county court yesterday, where Charles A. Lonergan and his son, David, were accused of assault with intent to inflict great bodily injury upon William Lonergan and his son, Hugh. William is a brother of Charles, and they have lived for many years on adjoining farms five miles northwest of Florence. "Charles and William have not soken a friendly word to each other for 10 years," said Attorney T. C. Kinslcr for the defendants. The feud started when their father died, and William was displeased at the provisions of the will. William has beaten Charles with clubs. He has prayed for the day to come when his son, Hugh, would be strong enough to thrash his brother, Charles. Painted Five Bulla Yellow. "Once a fine bull belonging to Charlps wandered to the farm of William. He painted it yellow and nut a sign on it, '530,000 Hog Maybe.' " I Charles Lonergan is the owner of a famous hog for which he has been offered $30,000. He is also prominent as1 a pure bred cattle owner. The alleged assault occurred the evening of March 24 on a bridge near the scene of the murder of Mrs. Claude Nethaway, north of Florence. It is now known as the "Nethaway bridge." William Lonergan, 62- years old, testified that he and his son, Hugh, were driving home from Florence in a buggy. Arriving- on the bridge they found his brother, Charles Lonergan and his son, David, their automobile apparently stalled in the middle of the bridge' so they couldn't pass. He testthed they waited 3o minutes but, as the other Lonergans declined to get out of the way he backed up his team to go home by another road. Brother Strikes at Brother. "My son, Hugh, was at the rear of the wagon, keeping it in the mid' die of the bridge as I backed when Charles came and struck at him," l'v testified. "His son came back and helped him and before I could get out they had knocked Hugh down and were kicking him. Then I took a heavy oil can and hit my brother with it." Robert Hughes, a salesman for the Hughes Grocery Co.. arrived at the scene iust after the ficrht. "Charles Lonergan came up to my car and said, "Get out and I'll lick you, too," Hughes testified. "He ap peared to be drunk. Hugh Loner gan was unconscious, lying' "at the edge of the bridge with one leg over the edge." - - At the conclusion of the hearing, County Judge Crawford said he saw strong reasons for binding Charles and David Lonergan over to the district court.
