Selma Journal Two or three con-
ditons which have surrounded the
case of John Williams. who was
some time ago convicted in the
Cullman circuit court for the murder of
State Senator Hipp, makes 1t one OF the
most novel and sensational cases on rec
ord Al first 1t seemed tnat the prisoner
cared little what came of himself, and
would make no effort al a defense. Later
he secured counsel and began fight for
his life. This presented a new question to
the lawyers and courts of the state The
action of the Judge of the criminal court
in Birmingham In granting a writ which
delayed the sentence of the supreme
court opens a new field for delay In the
administration of justice in this state.
If the judge is right in its action It would
seem that some new laws should be
made
In addition to the novel question of law
presented is the fact that Williams by
his desperate actions in defying the Of
ficers caused the delay which gave him
the respite which he enjoys until his case
is decided. While these conditions existed
in Birmingham. at Cullman 1t was feared
that an attempt would be made by friends
of williams TO tear down the new wall
of the Jail and the gallows which had
number of citizens were assisting. the
officers in guarding the Jail and express
ing determination that the law should
be allowed to take its counse. The out
come of the case will be watched with
interest.

Daily Kennebec journal., 1906-04-21

Ger. Hanilin explained in some detail
the theory of the government in MAIN
tanning that Charlie Northy was shot
by Mrs. Cooper while he was sitting in
the rocking chair in the dining ROOM
near which the boys PROSTATE body
was found by Jasper Gray.
At AS a short recess was taken. At
$40 o'clock the attorney general re-
sumed his argument. He said: "Now
regarding the three shots fired by this
revolver. | am not going to waste nv
time on the first two shots. | could the
orize. but there is only one person who
knows anything about it and that is
the respondent. If she will not tell the
truth about it there is nothing more
to say We have only to do with the
shot that killed Charles Northy. Now,
in regard to the blood upon the wall,
upon which counsel for the other side
dwelt to great length. That blood may
not have been thrown unon that wall
at the time Of the shooting of this
young man. You will remember that on
the day following a bloody autopsy was
performed in this room. Would il not
be POSSIBLE for bloody hand to have
wall paper. thus producing this effect.
Has this woman told the truth?
When she brought that revolver into
that room. concealed in her pocket
what was she thinking of doing? Her
husband was but a few feet away:
whv did she not call to her husband,
WHO was her natural protector? Why
did she get this deadly revolver?
Il tell you that It was an absolute
human impossibility for that event to
have taken place as she has told her
story.
Didn't she run out of the house
shouting: Charlie is shot Get a doc
tor She loved him as her own. Tell
me. sirs. would she have run out of
that home and leave him as she did.
Why did she do it? How did she know
that Charlie Northy had shot him
self"
Gen. Hamin attacked the testimony
given by Edwin Cooper. especially
that part that referred to Mr.. Coop
er's entrance into the house and find
ing young Northy in the chair. And"
he said, "Northy was found lying upon
the floor afterwards. Did he slip out of
the chair with that terrible wound in
his head. or did he have human aid?"
TIE attorney general devoted but
word to Detective Martin and he said
that the government was not ashamed
to put on the stand such a witness as
he proved to be.
'I will not go further, for I want to
close tonight" said General Hamlin
He went lightly over much of the tes-
ti1lony given by the witnesses for the
defence.
In closing the attorney general asked
that the jury give the most careful
con5ideratio to the evidence. He said
that her sex was no defence and should
not he considered. At 6.35 o'clock the
closing argument of the chief counsel
for the government was concluded.
Court adjourned until 9 o'clock Sat
urG3y morning.

Mr.. Hamlin's Closing Argument.

The afternoon session convened Al
; O'Clock and Attorney General Hanni-
bal r.. Hamlin began his closing argu-
menl. In opening, the attorney general
congratulated the members Of the jury
on their patience and upon the near
close of the long trial. He defined the
position occupied by the governments
counsel as prosecuting officers and said
that no prosecutor of any standing at
the bar desired to he connected with a
murder case.
The attorney general said 1--WE do
rot cocc here for persecution or ven
gence. Laws are made for the just gov
crnmcnt of the people to protect soci
city and to preserve order. The respond
ent has had her day in court. All that
can be said in her behalf has been said
by her counsel. and now come to you
in my responsibility as representative
of the great people. | have listened to
the distinguished lawyer. who closed
the case this morning. and to his in
geniouS argument. as perhaps you
have, too. The days when eloquence
won cases are gone by. Today the facts
must be considered and it is to your
attention that | will bring these facts.
Continuing. the attorney general said
that the counsel for the defence, in his
argument had misstated some of the
testimony influencing opinion or situa-
tions in favor of the cause of the priS-
oner.
con oct 10 last the little village of
South Windsor was thrown into a tur-
moil of fever and excitement. Was it
hand upon young Charles Northy? All.
II was because of the manner of his
death. and because the Indications
pointed to murder! The officers Of the
law were called upon to make an inves-
tigation. In this investigation the
greatest care was exercised and as a
result this respondent was arrested
charged with the commission of this
crime-murder-one of the highest, if
not the highest. crimes known to our
law. From what l may say to you. you
will understand that we realize that
the burden of the proof is upon the
government. II you find that we have
not given you q sufficient amount of
evidence to prove to you her guilt be-
yond all reasonable doubt. then the
county attorney and the States at
torney will be the first to say let her
go out into Gods pure air and sun
shine and be free. But if, on the other
hand. you find that we have proven
this woman's guilt of the crime beyond
all reasonable doubt. then be you not
influenced by any false theories or
fancies or sympathies. but render your
verdict as you have sworn 70 do"
The attorney general then began TAX
ing up the evidence in the case For a
motive. he said, the government al
legged that jealousy was the primary
cause of this young mans murder. That

ALFONSO AND THE AUTO

Like everyone else, King Alfonso has
come under the spell of the automobile.
It was in October, 1904, that he drove
his first motor car. Today he is an &C
complished chauffeur. He has fifteen
automobiles, chiefly the big racing ma
chimes, for he rides for speed. His
wild races on the dangerous Spanish
roads are famous. Neither the queen
mother nor the anxious ministers have
been able to hold him back from this
sport, which he makes doubly perilous.

France, was the kings guest in Mad

OF course he has had his accidents,
and some of them have been serious
enough. Last winter he was coming
down mountain road at his usual
reckless speed, when his automobile
went over. He was thrown great dis
lance, but landed, fortunately, head
first In snowbank.
