WARNER EXAMINING TRIAL POSTPONED IN MONTGOMERY
  The examining trial of Loutrell Warner, charged with manslaughter in 
connection with the fatal shooting of his son-in-law, Rollie Coomer, on the 
night of August 23, at the former's home near Stoops, has been continued on 
the Montgomery county court at Mt. Sterling until October 12 on account of the 
illness of witnesses.
  Coomer was fatally shot when he returned to his home at Stoops in an 
intoxicated condition and began to abuse his wife.  According to witnesses 
Mrs. Coomer became frightened and ran across the road to the home of her 
father, Loutrell Warner, followed by her husband armed with a butcher knife.  
He continued to abuse her and it is said that the girl's father tried to quiet 
him unsuccessfully and that Coomer turned his wrath upon his father-in-law and 
advanced on him with the knife.  Warner fired with a shotgun and Coomer died 
instantly.  
  Warner was released on bond prior to his examining trial.
