The Parisian. (Paris, Tenn.) 1907-1962, 1915-01-15
WHITE IS GRANTED BAIL
AT PRELIMINARY TRIAL

James G. White, charged with
killing A. D. Sprague in Paris on
Thursday January Z, by stabbing
him to death with a knife, had
an examining trial Saturday be-
fore Justices Erwin, Snow and
Cross. The accused was admit
ted to bail in the sum of $40, 600,
which he has not succeeded in
giving.
White was represented by
S P. Fitzhngh and the state by
E. Baxter Sweeney and George
L. Fryer. Interest in the trial
was intense and the circuit court
room was. packed with people.
Only six witnesses were intro
duced, four for the state and two
for the defense, each side re-
serving a great deal Of evidence
for the final trial, at which time
some sensational testimony is
expected.
DIR. George McSwain, one of
the physicians who attended
Sprague after he. was stabbed,
testified as to the nature of the
wounds. He said that Sprague
stated before he died that the
trouble came up over rent, and
that he, Sprague, had tried to
keep out of trouble with White.
Jesse L. Clark, next door
neighbor to the men, testified
that he saw White 60 out of the
back door and heard him say:
"You can get it now if you want
it" He said he saw Sprague
come from under an elevated
porch in the rear of the house and
face White. After a few words
which the witness could not un-
derstand, Clark said Sprague
struck White with his open hand.
They then clinched and their
struggles carried them behind a
coal house and out of Clark S
sight. He saw them a a in
clinched and in a STOPPING posi-
ton. At this juncture Clark,
who was standing at the door Of
his own house, closed the door
and went into his room. He saw
no more he said until he heard
Sprague say, He has killed me. "
Sprague came to Clark's door
and asked that a doctor be sent
for. This was done and then
Clark went to assist Sprague
who was making an effort tt
reach his own home again. After
Clark and others got Sprague or
alounge witness stated Sprague
called for his baby, and exclaim
ed, II am dying; he came ou'
there with a knife up his sleeve
to kill me-
Gus Orr who next took tn,
witness stand corroborated th'
testimony of Clark with refer
ence to Sprague's statements. HI
also testified that White told hin
that he stabbed Sprague but CAV
no explanation of the difficulty
Orr told him that he had gottel
himself into trouble. White re
piled, Il can't help it, said Orr
DR.. Miller's testimony as to tn
statements of Sprague was tn
same as that of Orr and Clark
He said that the dying man vi
tered frequently such sentence
as Il can't breathe" " Pm dy
ing" Turning to his wife MI
Sprague said: II want you t
pray that l may live to help yo
rear the children. She con
piled with his request, DR.. Mile
said.
The evidence of C. F. White
father of the accused, was take
but it was not of an importar
nature.
