Attorney for the defense yesterday

States Court for the Middle district Of
Alabama continued the examination of
witnesses in the alleged conspiracy
case against the two richardson boys
ana the two Billiard boys OF Covington
County.
During the morning hours Of the
court the defense attempted to Inn
peach the character Aof James Thomp-
son, the main witness for the Govern
ment, and Joe Parker, a witness on
behalf Of Thompson. A large number
OF witnesses swore that the character
OF the two Government witnesses was
not at all good, as they have been
given to largely exaggeratsd state
ments.
witnesses were also produced by
the defense to prove that after the
beating Thompson had stated that he
did not know whether the beating had
been administered by negroes or white
men. It was also testified to by the
deputy marshal who arrested John
Billiard the day after the whipping
took place. that the latter looked sick
which statement the defense used 10
show that John Billiard could not
have been engaged in the whipping
scrape with Thompson the night be-
fore.
The case will be concluded on Mon
day morning.
