Falls Man Accused In Tavern Death
A Niagara Falls man was released on $5000 bail today after he pleaded innocent in Falls Police Court to a charge of second-degree manslaughter in a tavern-fight death in Niagara Falls early Saturday.
The dead man is Lester Camann, 40, of 268 Fourth St., Niagara Falls, son of William Camann, 40 E. Felton St., North Tonawanda.
Earl Shipley, 38, Niagara Falls, the man charged, allegedly told the victim he was occupying the wrong chair in a bar next to Falls Police Headquarters. Witnesses told police Mr. Camann began to swear and the defendant struck him, knocking him across the room against a window sill and a radiator.
A lifelong resident of the city, Mr. Camann is survived by his father, two sisters, Mrs. Dorothy Briggs, 40 E. Felton St., and Mrs. Gertrude Bruss, Niagara Falls; and a brother, Raymond Schultz, Niagara Falls
