are prisoners as a result of the

The old quarrel between the
Williamses and the Leighs was
famed into a white heat by the
throwing of garbage into each

was taken into court last March,
and 1t was while returning from
the hearing that Wesley Williams
and Leigh Quarreled.
Later the same evening Wesley
Williams, from the porch of tue
Williams home, shot and killed
Leigh.
The parents Of Wesley Williams
were sentenced for life as aces
series, because of the claim by the
prosecution that they had helped
load a shell with steel balls from
bicycle and that Leigh had been
shot with this shell. They deny
this, and claim that an eXamina-

steel bullets were used in the
charge that killed Leigh.

capped a penitentiary sentence be-
