"On June 18, 1931, Phillips left his house and was waiting to take a street car when he was approached by two young men.
One of the men began speaking to him and hit him, while the other drew a gun and shot at him, striking him three times.
Witnesses identified the two men as 19-year-old George McFarland and 2-year-old Augusta Brooks.
They were both arrested and charged with Phillips' murder.
Although the motive was unclear, the police suspected there was a dispute over the settlement of an estate worth $3000, in which McFarland's mother was an heir.
McFarland went to trial in February 1932, and Brooks went to trial in August 1932."
