WILLIAMS TESTIFIES
I HIS OWN BERALF
Jasper County Farmer Tells Georgia
Jury that He is Innocent of Murder
of Eleven Negroes.
Covington, Ga., April 7.-The fate
ot\ John S. Williarms accused of the
murder of I negro farm hands, will
rest with a fury tomorrov. In even
dispassionate tones the Jasper county
planter, testifying in his own behalf,
today declared his "absolute inno
cence" of the charge of murder and
when court adjourned late today the
trial had been concluded except for
the two closing arguments and the
judge's charge. *
Williavms will be either convicted
of the murder of one of the men, for
whose death he is specifically on trial
or he will be acquitted, for attorneys
on both sides argued this afternoon
that there could be "no half way ver
dicts" and the defendant himself told
the jury in so many words that the
killings were "murder." A verdict of
murder might be accompaniled by a
recommendation for mercy carrying
life imprisonment.
Clyde Manning. negro farmt boss
for 14 years on the Williams place,
whose confession implicated the plant
er, was pointed to .by Williams as the
man having a "probable motive" for
the killings. Charles C. King, plead
ing for Williams' acquittal, told the
jury that Manning, ignorant of the
penalty for peonage, had become
alarmed at the federal investigation
and that the evidence indicated he was
the only person who had a motive for
the killings.
Mr. King asserted the defense ex
Pteted to rely largely on Williams'
"allhi" which, he said. Williams had
established "as far as possible" 'hy
describing how he was at honte the.
night the three negroes were killed,
and asserted the state had offered no
legal corroboration of the testimony
of a confessed acoomplice as required
by law.
Graham Wright, assistant attorney
general ,pointed to certain testimony
as corroboration and said the law
left it to the jury to make final de
cision on that question. lie termed
Manning incapable of planning and
carrying out the crimes, "under the
eyes of Williams and his family," and
named Williams as the guilty man.
Manning also will be put on trial
for the murders, it was announced
today the time to be decided later,
and his attorney, . Marvin Under
wood, said he would not enter a plea
of guilty.
"Clyde Manning shall not escape,"
declared Solicitor General Brand in
urging conviction of Williams. "I could
not, under the law, permit him to es
cape."
Manning has testified for the state
that by Williams' orders the negroes
were weighted down with rocks and
thrown alive into rivers or knocked
in the head and buried where they
full and Williams, taking the stand
today, briefly recited all he said he
newv of the deaths of Lindsey Peter
son, Willic Preston and Harry Price,
three dirowned the same night in New
ton county. Hie is on trial for mur
der of Peterson and lie did not go
into the other eases,
The de'fendant, accused by the state
of "(heorgla's mlost atrocIous mur
ders" has watched the proceedings
calmly throughout the trial, even
smiling once or twice and today he
was as cool as any of the spectators
who packed the court room almost to
suffocation to hear his story.
These were the first criminal
charges of any kind ever filed against
him, he declared, in his 54 years of
life, and told, proudly it seemed, that
his four grown sons were among the
first to answer the country's call to
war, lie admitted ho might have
been technically guilty of pueonage
as he had workedi negroes wino owed
him money, Hie had so informed fed
oral investigators when they first
came to the farm, ho added, andl also
had declared he always paid and fed
the negroes, These agents replied
that the negroes on his place were
among th "best fed and clothed" they
had seen, he declared, If he nwore
technically guilty of peonago "miost
Georgia farmers also were," he add
ed
"I am absolutely innoent," he told
the jury in conclusion, as he reverted
to the murder charge,
Tlft' state had rested earlier in the
day with introduction of RI'ena Man
ning, wvife of Clyde Manning, and
Sher!ff B. L- Johnson of Newton
county, in an effort to corroborate
parts of Mlannin-g's story. The woman
testified the negroes left with WVil
hlams, Manning and Charlie Chil
holm, the nIght they were last seen
alive, as Minning had declared,
Sheriff Jlohnson said Manning idienti
fled the three .bodies found in New
ton county atnd later confessed and
told where the others could he found,
The negro's words wverb' borne out b~y
investIgation the sherIff said.
Williams was the only witness for
the defense appearing on the stand
unsworn, wvhich, under Georgia law,
prevented cross-examination. The
fact that no other defense testimor
was itroduced -permitted William
counsel to open and close. No lim
was placed on the time of argumet
and four attorneys spoke today.
Mr. King opened for the defens
followed in order by Mr. 1Wright f<
the state, W. H. Key of Monticell.
Ga., for the defense, and Solicit<
General Brand for the state. W. A
Howard, former congrehsman froi
Georgia, will close for the prosect
tion tomot-row, making the first ae
dress of the day, and the Rnal ple
will be made by Green F. Johnson <
Monticello, chief counsel for the di
fondant. About three hours are ex
Ipected to be consumed tomorrow I
argument.
Charges were flung back and four,
as the lawyers ,pleaded with the jur
today. Mr. Key assorted It was "ur
fair" to put Williams on trial so soo
after arrest-only aboub two weeki
he said and, referring to Assistan
Attorney - General Wright sent by
group of citizens, told the jury: "Tb
state has decided that if they can nc
convict by evidence they take the pc
sition they will convict by lawyers."
Solicitor Brand charged the oppos
ing counsel "with playing to the gal
lertes" and seekirng to Involve "rac
prejudice" and declared the. murde
of the negroes should be punished
that under the law they had the sam
protection as the w'hite man. He als
asked why Williams never inquire
into the #whereabouts of the 11 nc
groes whose disappearance was
mystery until their bodies wer
found.

resident will banish all doubt:
J. W. Henderson, S. Ilatiper St., Lau
