1t has been a long time since the ed.
! itor of THE LEADER has listened to as
| fine, clear-cu and forcible an appeal
for the vindication of law and justice
as the speech for the State by Hon.
Thos. Brady, Jr., last Thursday eve
ming iii the Hilton case, and it doubt,
less, made lasting impression, as it
ought to, on all good citizens who
| heard it. If we were asked to name
the distinguis hing traits of this popu-
lar and fast rising young attorney, we
would answer, steadfast integrity, the
| highest type of moral and physical
courage and a clear and masterful in
tellect- qualities which, coupled with
faultless personal habits and splendid
physique, will, in good time, carry him
to the very head of his profession in
State and Nation.
THE HILTON-WILLIAMS CASE.
The preliminary trial of William
Hilton and his son, Ollie, charged with
the murder of William Williams on
Friday morning, March LIST, brought a
| large crowd to town last Thursday
morning from the neighborhood where
the tragedy occurred, from Bogue
Chitto, and other portions of the
county. Each of the principals to the
trouble had large family connection
and most of these were present to hear
the testimony before the committing
magistrate. The case was to be tried
before Justice w. II. Hoffman, and to
accommodate the large crowd, the JUS
tice arranged to have the trial in the
county court house. instead of his of
flee. Hons. Thos. Brady and J. n.
1awn appeared as attorneys for the
State and Hons \. G. McNair and J.
! q. Hyde for the defense.
The following witnesses were exam
ined:
For the States Sam Gill; Mrs. Lo-
retta Williams wife of deceaSedJ. DR..
T. Y. Nelson, DR.. Van Martin.
For the Defense Ollie Hilton, Rich
ard Stewart, W. S. Hiltou,W +. Bixler
j. Hardy Magee, DR.. j. II. Butler.
The LEADER took down IA full sy-
nopsis of the testimony, but owing to
the pressure of other matter on its col
umns this week, is compelled to omit
it. Quite large number of character
witnesses and others who were sum
moned to testify to minor points were
not placed upon the stand.
The examination of witnesses was
completed late Thursday afternoon
aud after strong speeches delivered
by Messrs. Brady and Yawn for the
State and brief arguments by Messrs.
McNair and Hyde, for the defense,
Justice Hoffman soon announced his
decision, discharging Ollie Hilton, the
son, from custody, and binding
VIM. Hilton, his father, over to the
Circuit Court in the sum of $1,000.
| Mesdames Williams, mother and
wife of the dead man, and Mrs. Hill
ton, wife and mother of the accused,
in deep black, were sad witnesses of
the trying proceedings. After all,
men are the least sufferers by such
acts of violence.
