Charged -with first degree mur- der are the Carmichaels, father and son, who allegedly killed Allen Harris by drowning off Stock Island on December 14. Indicted by the Monroe County Grand Jury, the men are out on bail of $15,000 for the father and $5,000 for the son. Also charged with first degree murder is Louis Caraballo, who, it is alleged, shot Gilbert Blanco Yglesia to death on the court- house balcony on June 26, 1950.
