STATE VS.. HINES
came up yesterday for trial at Justice
| Walkers court, and the room was crowded
during the whole time with spectators and
witnesses 1t will be remembered that
| the defendants, father and son, were ar
rested some time ago upon complaint of
some of their neghbors for abusing their
daughter and sister. The state, through
| County Attorney Morris, introduced testi-
mony to show that the neighbors had
| heard Hines beating the child and that
| he kept up the racket and beating for some
! time Mr. Graham says that he saw
! Hines roll up his sleeves and say here
will give you the law on this subject" and
afterwards he and his wife stood at their
gate and heard the punishment described.
The defense as gathered from their evil
dence was about as follows: When young
Hines came home On the day in question,
he found mis- sister abusing her younger
sister and he attempted to correct her; she
thew butcher knife at him and then a
| fork; he caught her by the arm and gently
led her from the house using no violence
at all. When her father came home he
sent for her and mildly demonstrated with
her for telling neighbors of the family
| jars. She grew unruly and he admins
! tered chastisement.
The girl says that she threw the knife
| and fork but it was because she wanted to
protect herself,
A witness testified that the girl was con-
siderably bruised after the chastisement,
The case was given to the jury about
o'clock and they failing to agree at
o'clock was dismissed. 1t was said that
they were most all in favor of finding one
of the defendants guilty but all were not
in favor of returning both guilty, hence
the disagreement
