Charged With Murder
Fred LEVY, former timekeeper for Clark & Henry, has been charged with the murder of John ANDERSON, former gold instructor of the Beresford County Club, with whom he was hunting when latter met his death.
LEVY and ANDERSON were out hunting about two weeks ago in the hills back of the Walter HOBART estate. The following morning ANDERSON’s body was found.
