Phone Wire Marksman Held for Grand Jury
William H. Filer, 19, of 500 Branch street, was held in $1000 bail for Grand Jury action when arraigned in police court yesterday on a charge of unlawfully firing a gun.
Filer was arrested when Raymond F. Locke, an investigator for the New Jersey Bell Telephone Company, said the youth put a number of telephones out of order by firing into a trunk cable at Broadway and Lansdowne avenue.
Filer admitted, police said, that he was shooting at sparrows.
