Lem John is Found Guilty

Centerville-A jury found Lem John, the 20 year old boy, guilty of manslaughter on a charge of murdering his step-father, John Tharp, last April at Moulton. They had difficulty, growing out of the boy’s mother deeding some property to the children. They met on the street and the boy shot Tharp in the abdomen.
