TowNvILLE MEN ACQUITTED.
Jury Deliberated Only Seven Minutes
In Murder Trial.
(Andorson Mail, 24th.)

{ 1t required less than seven min
.utes for the jury in the Townyille
case to bring In verdict OF mot
guilty" When the jurors retired yes
terday afternoon ten of them were
ready to return at once, and two
Others had their minds made up. bu,
wished to show no haste There
were three counts in the indictments,
and as soon as the jurors could for
mally fill out the report on each
count the members filed back to
their seats, and the fol leman, Felix
e. Watkins, made his report.
The defendants were w. H. Hol-
combe, Justin L.. Woolbright, ]. B.
Sears and James Baldwin.
This case attracted great deal OF
attention. There were some curious
circumstances which were never fully
show that the chief of police Of
Townvilie had killed, or caused to
be killed, a prisoner whom he was
charged with having handled most
roughly in making an arrest. The
calabOose was burned with the man
within, and the report was circulated
that the prisoner had been burned to
cover up another crime. The evil
dence was worked up by Marcus G..
Long, Of Oconee, lawyer Of deter
mination and courage, who had pre-
viously made reputation for him
self in ferreting out the Emerson
killing at Walhalla.
Capt. II. Fl. Watkins made a very
clear exposition Of the defense in his
speech before the jury, AM Solicitor
Bonham was generously compliment
ed on his summing up Of the points
to sustain the theory of the prosecu-
ton.
The mans cries, heard even by
the. witnesses for the State, showed
that he was not dead when put into
the guard house, and the theory OF
blood on his undershirt, charred
portion Of which was put in evidence
by the State, was said by the defense
10 have been caused by the brains
of the burned man being laid on the
chest Of the corpse. The defense
proved untrue the allegation of the
state that Holcombe threw a bucket
Of water on the skull Of the deceased d
10 make it crumble and hide marks.
The water was thrown by another
person, as many witnesses testified,
while they were trying to cool the
ombers to get the body out.
The cross examination of Hol-
"ombe by Solicitor Bonham m was COM
lnenced just aiter dinner Friday. The
defendant was asked II, as chief or
police Of Townyille, he had not or
dered Charlie Cannon to leave the
place. The defendant said that he
had, but that he was under orders,
and that 1T was against his judgment.
He admitted that Cannon was order
ed away for causes growing out of
this case. "Where Is Charlie Can
non now?" asked the Solicitor. The
witness replied that he left him at
Townville when he c"n,c - Ardnrsnr

OF no reason why Ashley should de-
liberately wish to hurt him. He de-
MED emphatically, however, the tes-
timony given by Ashley as to rope
tftfon of a conversation between Ash
ley and defendant.
On redirect examination by Capt.
Watkins, Holcombe stated that he
had locked Cannon up in q barn be-
cause the, guard house was burned
and there was no other place to lock
him up. He had been ordered to
lock Cannon up as witness for the
Inquest because Cannon had been
going around telling that Doc Well
born had been beaten to death and
burned up to hide the tracks, and
that he would tell all about it. Hol-
combe said that Cannon was an un-
reliable witness, and that he was de-
talned 80 that the coroner might
near all that he had to say, whether
tnere was any ground to believe it
or not.
Sheriff King was sworn and testi-
fed that Holcombe came to him and
SAID that detectives were working up
case against him, and If a warrant
was sworn out, to telephone to him
at iownyille, and he (Holcombe)
would come in
The defense here rested, and the
prosecution put up several witnesses
In reply. j. V. Graydon corroborated
having heard one Martin say that he
heard the cries In tho guard house.
and that they grew fainter and faint
er. On cross-eXamination the witness
stated that If Martin were on his way
home, as stated, the further away he
got the 'ainter the cries would sound
naturally.
John Spears testified that his
nephew, Herbert Speares, told him in
substance that the officers hit Well
born on the hands and feet with
CLUBS to force him into the iail. Had
heard his brother, Joe Speares. saw
Wellborn was put out Of the way to
keep him from being held as Wit
ness too long. (Joe Spears had tes-
tilted that he had had no such chat.)
John Turner identified the piece
of blood-staned shirt that was found
In the ruins Of the calaboose. He dis
puted the theory Of the defense as to
the blood spots being caused by the
brains being placed on the mans
chest after the body had been taken
from the embers. Turner said that
he found the piece of shirt after this
time, and had wrapped it in a piece
OF paper and put 1t in his pocket.
The prosecution then closed and the
argument was entered into. Neither
side proffered any formal requests to
charge. Each side was given an hour
to develop its theory in argument.
