Another Shooting In 1941 - Alva...

Does anyone out there know of anyone who might be able to shed some light on what became of Kenneth Root (17 years of age in 1941)?

Kenneth shot a Donald Benson (22 or 23 years of age in 1941). I am assuming that this Benson worked at the Alva Flour Mill and had a sister that Kenneth was dating back then.

There was this dinner at the Rose Hill School that Kenneth and Benson were at when the shooting occured. Kenneth Root was arrested by Sheriff Ken Greer and charges were filed against Root by County Attorney Bill Gruber. The presiding judge was J. J. Gaiser and the defense attorney was C. H. Mauntel.

We are told that after the trial Kenneth went free. We are trying to find out what happened to Kenneth Root. If you have any information on this 1941 shooting, please drop NW Okie an EMAIL: mcwagner.lk@gmail.com Thanks!
