The Tragic Shooting of Edward Minach

Frank Minach was bound over to the superior court for trial yesterday by Justice Humphrey on the charge of killing his brother Edward in this city last Saturday afternoon. The hearing lasted less than two hours. Minach appeared much better than on the day following the tragedy. Coroner Horton first took the stand and told about the post mortem on the victim's remains. James M. Myhan, a deputy United States marshal who was in sight of the events, testified that he heard Frank say to Edward, 'Keep away from me,' and that before Frank shot, he saw Edward have both hands outstretched toward him. P. Flynn, an old soldier who lost one eye in the Civil War, told the court that he was the first man to grab Frank Minach by the arm. He noted he did not know anything about Edward having a gun until he saw it on the ground near his shoulder. Mr. Flynn described the movements of Frank Minach as follows: 'He took a half circle and two paces to the right and then fired.' Deputy Prosecuting Attorney McBride closed his case, and Minach was bound over to the superior court for trial without bonds.
