HANK WILLIAMS LYRICS NOT STOLEN

LATEST: Theft charges against a memorabilia collector and a janitor have been dropped after a Tennessee judge declared there was insufficient evidence to prove they stole a notebook containing lyrics to HANK WILLIAMS' unrecorded songs.

Charges were filed against STEPHEN M SHUTTS and FRANCINE BOYKIN after janitor Boykin said she found the notebook in a box of trash taken from Sony/ATV Music Publishing's office in Nashville.

She and her husband then sold the box to Shutts last year (06).

Williams' estate claims the item was stolen and are still pressing a civil suit for the recovery of the notebook, which contains lyrics the country icon wrote in the late 1940s and is valued at $250,000 (GBP128,200).
