JURY KEPT OUT ALL NIGHT.
Felony Case i'm Which Accused IL
Identified Only by His Voice.

Felony Case i'm Which Accused IL
Identified Only by His Voice.
A singular case. in which it is at
tempted to fix a felony on a man who
is identified only by the sound of his
voice, has kept a jury out nearly all
day and an entire night in the Su-
perior Court. The case was on trial
yesterday morning and went TO the
jury at 11:3O O'Clock. a. m. At 2
clock this morning the jurors were
still unable to agree, and the indica-
tions are that mistrial will be de-
clared when court convenes this morn
ing.
The case is that of Richard Handy.
who is accused of attempting to kill
Affie Taylor Joiner. Both parties are
colored. The crime is said to have
been committed near a negro settle
ment called Flowerville. which is
about six miles from Savannah. The
Joiner girl, in company with several
others were returning from a hot
supper" when from the woods nearby
a voice called out: rs the supper
over?" To which the girl replied in
the affirmative. Then take thati'
said the voice in the darkness as five
shots rang out. Two of the shots
struck the Joiner girl. The injury was
a serious one, and it was thought for
a while that she would die. None OF
the party saw the negro but all say
that they recognized him by his voice.
The negro, on the other hand, attempt
ed to prove an alibi. That he was
partly successful in his attempt. at
any rate, is indicated by the length
of time that the Jury has been out.
The case was stubbonly fought. The
state was represented by D. ]. Charl-
ton, and the defense by Gordon Saus-
