OWN EVIDENCE IS
ONLY HOPE Of
MRS. KING
WiIburn's Attorney Declares the
Doomed Man Will Not Testify
Against Accused Woman.

GRAYS, Oct. 27.-Mrs.N Katherine
King, the first Jones County woman
ever arraigned for murder, is on trial
for her life in the Superior Court
here to-day.
The State proposes to prove that
she was the instigator of the assassi-
nation of her husband, James King,
a prominent planter of the county,
and that Nick Wilburn farm hand.
and her confessed paramount, did the
killing upon the promise of marriage
from her and the additional promise
of $500 of her husbands insurance.
1t is the contention Of the State that
Mrs. King had so fascinated this
farm boy that he readily responded
to her demands,
The most difficult fact for Mrs.
King to overcome in her fight for her
life and liberty is her confession made
on the day of her arrest, two weeks
after her husbands violent death, to
Sheriff Roberts and others. In that
confession, however, she declared
that she was forced to acquiesce to
her husbands murder by the threats
and violence of Wilbur.
DldtC kotudIOi W. II. MCANclls WIN
is Mrs Kings attorney, proposes to
combat the States evidence solely
with the woman's own statement He
believes that it will be az powerful in
strument in her behalf. Mcneil de-
clares that he is impressed with the
genuineness of Mrs. Kings story, as
related to him, and believes that she
did everything in her power to save
her husband, and submitted to the
knowledge that he was going to be
killed only because she was helpless
to prevent 1t.
Attorney John r. Cooper, counsel
for Wilburn, stated this morning as
ed the acquittal of Mrs. King. THE
State has no case against her in my
opinion" he said, land certain it is
that they can not use Wilburn. He
is not going to testify voluntarily
against her, and the State can not
force him to go on the stand now"
Mr.. Cooper is hoping that Mrs King
will be freed In that event." he
says, Il know l can save Wilburn
from the gallows."
There is intense interest in the out
come of Mrs. Kings trial and early
this morning the buggies and wagons
began pouring in Grays. Seated with
the frail little woman in the court
room are her six children the young
est hardly out of his baby clothes
and the eldest herself mother.

four ministers arrived on the same day

that there were not enough fiagstaffs on

have been serious breach Of etiquette
