SLAYER OF CHARLES w.
ROBERTSON FREED
READILY <s.
THE TESTIMONY
Showed That Robertson Had
! Made Threats Against Whit.
locks Life.

After deliberating for less than eve
minutes the jury in the case of s. H..
Whitlock. the PendletOn police chief
charged with the murder Of Former
state Constable Charles w. Robert
son, at Pendleton. on December last,
returned verdict of mot guilty." But
one ballot was taken among the iu-
rors, 1t was stated, all IL members of
the tribunal casting their votes for
The acquittal Of the defendant. An
nouncement of the jury's decision was
received in the partly filled court
room In silence and with little If any
show Of emotion on the part of Whit
lock. Immediately upon tfie'giving of
Instructions for the adjournment Of
court friends of the man who had been
acquitted Of the grave charge Of mur-
de-! crowded about him and pressed
his hand in congratulatfon. Within
the few seconds the court room had
been cleared and the doors closed and
that chapter of Whitlock's. life be-
came a closed book. -,
Trial Lasted All Day.
The trial of Whitlock con sumed ex-
nctly ore day Of the hours net by the
court. The defendant was placed on
trial upon the reconvening of court at
$3.50 o'clock yesterday morning. The
usual recess for dinner was taFen and
almost simultaneously with the an
nouncement of the verdict last even
Ing the clock struck six, the regular
Ahour of adjournment for til. day.
Void Of Sensations.
The trial Of Whitlock was void Of
sensations. though the testimony at
no time failed to interest the vast
throng who packed the court room
from morning till night. There was
no marked conflict In any Of the testi-
mony, either that offered by the pro-
secution or that put up by the de-
tense. In fact, the testimony of the
defendant himself corroborated in
part testimony Of various witnesses
for the prosecution.
Substance Of Testimony.
& Summing up all testimony, from
both the prosecution and the defense.
1t might be stated that the following
facts were brought out: That there
had been Ill feeling between Whitlock
and Robertson of. some years stand
ing: that several days prior to the
killing OF Robertson he had made
threats against the life of Whitlock.
Z end the same had gotten to WhitIock's 8
ears; that on the day OF the killing
Whitlock had been drinking and that
he and Robertson had had some words
during the day; tina; when Whitlock
entered Campbell's store, where the
killing occurred. Robertson was
standing near the rear Of the store
with an axe handle in his hand; that
Whitlock stopped midway between
5 the front and the rear OF the store tc
have some conversation with the pro-
8 prietor OF the establishment; that ne
had his back turned to Robertson in
the meantime; that without warning
y Robertson advanced upon Whitlock
The Anderson intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson, S.C.) 1914-1917, 1915-02-05

told Of sighting remarks which Whit
lock had made to Robertson in a bar
ber show previous to the killing.
Witnesses for the defense were: N.
H. Campbell. Minus Whitten, Walter
Sears, DR.. II. II. Acker, w. II. Davis,
Tom Williamson, Carl Mcconnell,
Lucius Stevens, Paul Brock, DR.. w.
w. Watkins, s. H. Whitlock and
Sheriff Joe Ashley. BY these witnesses
1t was established that Robertson had
threatened the life of Whitlock on sew
eral occasions prior to the
day OF the killing: that when Whit
lock entered Campbell's store Rob-
ertson advanced upon him while the
defendants back was turned and
without warning began striking him
over the head and shoulders with an
axe handle.
Witness Recalled.
DR.. r. B. Day was recalled to the
stand to give additional testimony as
to the course the bullets followed af-.
ter entering the body OF Robertson.
In reply the prosecution called 10
the stand o. P. Werner, who gave tes-
timony to the effect that one of the
witnesses who claimed to have been
In front Of Campbell's store when the
killing occurred and stated he knew
good deal about It had later said
that he knew nothing about the mat
ter.
Defendant on Stand.
Probably the mpst interesting tes-
timony was that offered by the defend
ant himself. Upon taking the stand
he testified that he was 40 years OF
age; had been q resident Of Pendle-
ton for IL years and police chief for
greater part Of that time; also serr-
ed as magistrates constable: was
married and the father OF six chill
dren; had known Robertson some six
or seven years; had never had a per-
sonal difficulty with him; had been
advised by several persons that Rob-
ertson had made threats against his
life; described his movements on the
day preceding the killing and on the
day he killed Robertson; that he was
standing in Campbell's store and was
talking to the proprietor of the estab-
lishment when some one struck him
from behind with q club; that the
blow dazed him and that without be-
ing conscious of what he was doing
he drew his pistol and fired; that he
knew nothing more until some min
ntes after that when the attending
physician was stitching up the wound
made In his head when Robertson
struck him with the axe handle; that
he had been drinking previous to the
killing but had taken none after day.
light on the day the tragedy occurred;
that he and Robertson were not on
good terms and that he was not drunk
on the day the killing took place.
Testimony Tnshaken.
AS stated previously, there was no
marked conflict in ary Of tho testi-
mony offered by the prosecution and
that put up by the defense. Whitlock's
story, in the main, was unshaken by
the cross examination.
