IN
Some sensational turns in the Lev
,ere.t case, now under way in the For
rest County Court House today, are
promised before the trial comes to an
end, it became known today.
a What the nature Of these will be,
can only be surmised. But the coun-
sci for the defense, and the states
attorneys are not explaining to the
public just what they have UP their
sleeves.
With the arrival in Hattiesburg of
Mrs. Leverett. wife of the man who is
being tried for the third time for his
life. and Of Mrs. Bradley. wife Of Ed,
Bradley. slain at Ricliton last summer
by Leverett. interest in the case which
threatened to be but slight, increased
today
From reliable sources it was learned
today that the defense is planning to
place Mrs. Leverett on the witness
stand on behalf of her husband. She
never has testified before. At the last
trial held in Hattiesburg it was ex-
planned that the woman was absent
on account Of the illness OF one of
her children, and that it was inpos-
sible to bring the child to Hatties-
burg at the time.
She Wrote Letter.
1t was Mrs. Leverett who wrote the
letter said to have been found in Brad
ley's pockets by Leverett some months
before the killing. At the New Au-
gusta trial. the court refused to allow
the letter to be introduced as evidence.
When the case was transferred to Hat
tiesburg, however Judge johnson,
with a view Of giving Leverett every
opportunity to clear himself, permitted
his attorneys to read the letter to the
