BROTHERS FACE
EACH OTHER IN
DISTRICT COURT
Father and Son Accuse Their
Brother and Cousin of
I Assault and of Painting
Fine Bull Yellow.
' 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.
