UNUSUAL VERDICT
IN CRIMINAL COURT
Man Found Guilty and Wom-
an Turned Loose, Though
Woman Fired Fatal Shot

An unusual verdict was rendered yes
terday in the first division of the criminal
court by the jury in the case of jamie
Shaddick and Henry Sorrell Jointly in
dicted for murder in the second degree.
The jury returned a verdict aequitting
the female defendant but found the male
defendant guilty and fixed his punish
ment at three months hard labor for the
county. The two defendants were jointly
indicted for the murder of a negro woman
and the evidence brought out the fact
that the deceased came to her death by
a pistol wound inflicted by the Shaddicla
woman. The state sought to connect Sor-
rell with the crime on the ground that
he had furnished the female defendant
with the pistol that she used with fatal
results.
jamie Shaddick admitted the killing, but
Insisted that at the time she fired the
fatal shot she was in danger of having
her own life taken, and evidently salts
fled the jury. Sorrell denied all knowl-
edge of the crime and said his only con-
nection with IL was his acquaintance with
the Shaddick woman and being present
when the difficulty between the two wom-
en- occurred.
Much surprise was manifested when the
jury returned the verdict, and it is un-
derstood that Judge Greene will set 1t
aside on the grounds that it is contrary
to the law and the evidence offered in
the case. One of the court officials in
speaking of the case case: The verdict
In this case fully bears out the oft re-
peated statement that you can never tell
what jury will do"
