white farmer, charged with assaultiny
n l4-yearold white girl, Flossie Pleas
ants, in his employ, was re-opened
here Tuesday afternoon. Goodwin was
last Friday committed to Jail without
bail privileges. The State contended
that the justice who heard the case
had no right to re-hear after Judgment
was rendered. The justice said it was
rot rehearing, but re-opening. The
defense had two physicians sworn in
as experts to examine the girl, but the
STATE at first objected and no exami-
nation was then made, but the doctors
were questioned as experts. The State
then introduced as a witness a woman
living near the home OF the Peasants
girl, and her evidence as to the affair
was very strong against Goodwin. The
attorneys for the defense insisted that
the State was afraid to have the girl
examined. The attorney for the State
asked Immediately If the defense rea,
~ desired this examination. The de-
Tense said yes. The examination was
then made by physicians and their
evidence showed the conditions TO he
rs represented by the State. Goodwin
was recommitte1 to Jail without bail.
