District Attorney Miller Hayden said a formal charge would be filed against Harris Monday. Harris told the state police that he returned unexpectedly from a hunting trip at 3:30 A. M. Sunday and upon entering his home at Brooks found Batchelor in bed with his wife. Ordered to leave the house, Harris said Batchelor struck him on the nose and a first [fist] fight followed. Harris said he retaliated by striking Batchelor's side and he died 45 monutes later. State police said they found evidence of a drinking party when they arrived at the Harris home.
