IKE MARTIN FREED BY JURY
Tried in Probate Caurt for Shooting
Mayfield's Bull

The trial of Ike Martin on the
charge of having shot a bull be-
longing to A. C. Mayfield, occupied
attention of Probate Judge O'Calla-
CHAN Tuesday. The jury in the case
brought in verdict of "not guilty
and Martin was dismissed.
Nearly every resident of the Katka
district attended the trial as a wit
ness for the defendant or the state.
Witnesses for the state claimed that
the bull was shot from behind and
Mrs. Mayfield swore to seeing Ike
Martin shoot the bull. Ike Martin
swore that he shot the bull from in
front and that he was afraid of it
as it was of a vicious disposition.
Other witnesses swore that the bull
was vicious. Bartlett Sinclair de-
Tended Martin.
On Wednesday Stephen Martin
was given a hearing before Probate
Judge O'Callaghan on the charge of
being a juvenile delinquent. S. E.
Henry conducted the defense. The
case was continued until Monday
when further evidence will be intro
duced.
In this case many Katka people
were called in as witnesses. Mrs.
Jennings and son were star witnesses
for the state and swore that young
Martin had attempted unnatural
practices upon the baby Jennings
girl. Witnesses for the Martin boy
gave him a good character.
There is great bitterness in the
Katka district over the recent hap
penings. The Martins and their
friends claim they are being prose
cuted, while many of their neigh
bors say they are living in dread of
their lives and the lives of their
wives and children.
