SELF DEFENSE PLEA
Of ISOM PITTS 70
CHARGE OF MURDER
osreNpANT TAKES STAND IN
us OWN BEHALF AND MAKES
GOOD WITNESS.
rsf HIP POCKET MOVEMENT
AlI.oed to Have Been Made Sy the
! Deceased, Who, It Is Claimed, Was
y Armed-Rather Strong Case Made
out by State.
Tuesdays Daily.)

Self defense, is the plea of Isom
pitts to the charge Of murder in the
frat degree for the killing Of Nick
sharp at Mt, Pleasant. For two and
oDe half hours this morning the de.
fandant was on the witness stand,
concluding the final cross examination
inst when the noon recess commenc-
ed.
Pitts made for himself a good wit
ness He was calm, collected, looked
his examiners straight in the face
and answered the questions without
delay. . His story was generally I'M
shaken in material particulars al
though subjected to a rigid cross ex.
animation by Gen. Job Garner for
the state.
The defendant claimed that Sharp
was armed, that the killing took place
only when defendant was certain that
Il was necessary to shoot In order
to protect his own life. He infinitely
described the movements of the de-
ceased at the time of the killing. He
said that deceased threw his hand
back to his hip pocket and attempted
TO pull his pistol, that the gun became
in some way caught in the pocket. In
the meantime defendant, realizing
that Sharp intended to kill him drew
his own pistol and fired.
There are. a large number of wit
neSses for the defense and the testi
mony will hardly be concluded be
fore noon tomorrow.
Testimony for the state was CLOSED
in chief at $3.50 o'clock this morning
in the case of the state against Ison
Pitts for the murder of Nick Sharp
Immediately thereafter the defendant
Pitts was placed on the stand. On di
rect examination, conducted by P.
Chandler, he was apparently perfect
ly calm and collected and told seem
ingly straightforward story.
The state made out what the attor
neys pronounced to be a very stron,
case against the defendant. Severa
witnesses, some of whom testified
that they saw all or the greater par
Of the tragedy, told a story that seem
ed to justify the confidence of thu
counsel for the state.
According to the substance of tn,
states proof and the theory advanC
ed by the attorney general the de
tendant and deceased were scufflinl
together on the Sunday afternoon o
the tragedy, apparently in a mos
friendly manner when evidently tn
defendant became offended. He lef
the scene but later returned arme'
and thereafter he and the defendan
met and engaged In a brief alterca
ton with the result that the defend
ant shot and mortally wounded tn
deceased There were eight or min
witnesses for the state and rapid pre-
sfess was made in their examination
however, the period Of the TRACED
nom the beginning to the fatal shoot
ing covered only o short time.
