Aston Sets Aside Dawson Verdict

Aston Sets Aside Dawson Verdict
 Twice convicted of the murder of Deputy Sheriff Joe Edwards, John Daw- son, colored, was today discharged, Judge A. II. Aston setting aside the verdict of the jury which had convicted the defsn- dant of murder in the second degree and had sentenced him to serve in the peni- tentiary for fifty years and by request of Solicitor W. w. Quarles granting a writ of nolle prosequi.
 In his former trial Dawson was con Yicted of murder in the first degree and sentenced to be hanged and this verdict was set aside by Judge John Moore, who granted a new trial.
 The jury in Dawson's last trial return ed the verdict about 5 o'clock this after noon after being out since yesterday morning.
 The trial had been thrilling in interest MT. Edwards was one of the most pormi- nent men in the country and he had a large number of friends and it was fear ed, and indeed 1t is now feared. that there might be some effort to avenge his death without due legal processh. To guard against this possible contingency. Daw son was conveyed to the jail immediately upon the nol-prossing of his case and he is still afforded prtection by the authori- ties who have not made public their fn- tentions in regard to releasing him.
 The crime of which Dawson was accus- ed occurred in April, 1901. Deputy Sherin Edwards went to South Side with a war rant for the arrest of a negro named Ben Jones and went to the home of Dawson. He asked for admttance 10 the house and upon heinz refused tried to force an entrance. He shot at the door twice and Dawson then fired, it Is said. with fatal results to MT. Edwards. The killing oc- currel in the night and the news or 1t created much stir in Selma. three negroes being murdered near Dawsons home a few nights afterwards. presumably by mob desirous of avenSing the ofncers death
