Haywood. through counsel, presented 2
rather sensational affidavit Of fourteen
typewriter pages. setting forth grounds rounds
on which continuance is asked. Hix
points were made, tho most n taple.
briefly stated that counsel had not time
to prepare for his defense, and that
number OF witnesses were absent, two
In Virginia and Maryland; that owing TO
the solicitors declining to prosecute. It
had been impossible 10 obtain an agree
ment with any one OF the prosecuting
attorneys as TO the positive purpose to
have the trial at this court; thatSthe case
ought not to be tried now, because OF the
prevalence OF temporary and wrong
fully created public sentiment against
him, caused by untruthful newspaper
publications and false reports assiduous!y
circulated by persons interested In the
prosecution. Several OF these publlca-
stlons are cited. u; S.
@ The affidavit declares that one man.
George McMullen, has been employed by
the prosecution to 60 about the county
and stir UP sentiment against him. He
declares that r. NJ slmns. principal Wit
ness for the defense. has been persistent
sly villfied and slandered by these same
agencies since the character Of his EVIL
dence was published. and intimidation
from consenting to testify. So bitter was
this feeling. It Is charged. that persons
had threatened to boycott Tabernacle
Baptist Sunday school and church be-
cause OF sinn,s' prominence there.
Names Of intimidated witnesses are given.
Among witnesses out OF the State who
can't be gotten here at this time he
named. Philip Busbee, now under treat
ment In Baltimore; John g.. Stump, OF
Baltimore. and John II. Hammett. Of
Suffolk.
In conclusion. the af,ldavit declares
Haywood's belief that witnesses have
been tntimIdated and run OF or induced
to conceal themselves. and that he could
not now have fair trial. But that at
the next term, when the management Of
the prosecution is In the hands Of a
solicitor appointed BY the court, who will
