to await action by the grand jury.
Attorneys Campbell Darlington and S. D.
Truitt, who appeared for the defendant,
stated after Policemen Hall and Waters
had related their version of the shooting
that their claim was that Johnson was ire
sponsible at the time of the shooting, and
that 1t would be we'll to fix the amount of
bond without hearing additional witnesses,
which would take up the time of the court
unnecessarily. Judge Scott thereupon
without hearing any further evidence, fixed
the bond
Policeman Waters, the most seriously
wounded of the two. recited that he was
standing at the patrol box with Hail. when
Johnson, whom they did not recognize an
preached and drew a revolver on him IL
pulled it out of his hand, but he succeeded
in regaining possession of it, and, after
stepping back a couple of feet, shot me in
the back"
Hall, who was shot in the right arm
above the wrist, said that Johnson after
shooting at Waters, turned the weapon on
him, discharging 1t number of times, one
shot only taking effect. He said that he
pulled his revolver, and, after pointing il
at johnson, pulled the trigger three times
but on each occasion it failed to go off,
Each of the policemen who were shot
said that they had never had any difficulty
with the defendant, and declared that they
could not account for his actions
