Counsel Greatly Shocked
All Of Terry's counse were greatly
shocked at his act especially so as
they state that the defense had a
strong case and that Terry knew it
They were confident that a verdict
not greater tina manslaughter would
have been returned.
Aarsden Bellamy. Esq. senior
menber Of the firm OF Bellamy &c
Bellamy: stated TO a Messenger repre-
sentative yesterday afternoon that
the defense would certainly have es-
tablished self-defense. a. it would
have e shown tina: Bland fired
first at Terry; also that Terry did o
lay in wait for Bland. but at the time
was on his way to the Coast Lire
pay-car when stopped by his friend.
Isaiah West. who desired him 10 get
two liquor applications signed for
him.
Would Have Been In the First.
On the contrary counsel represent
ing the state assert most positively
that they would have shown murder
in the first degree.
Solicitor Rodolph Duffy states that
he has never prosecuted a murder
case that possessed half as much
generalization as the Terry case.
Would Have Withdrawn.
