dental

Luther Wample. age II, and Roose-
welt Yarbough, ~, the two boys who
were out together with Q rifle and
one Of whom shot and instantly killed
Paul Robinson. age IL, at . point
near Treecs last Thursday, were dis
charged last Saturday after the cor
oner's jury had exonerated them from
criminal intent In the discharge Of
the gun. The verdict rendered by
the jury was as follows:
1.-THE said jurors, upon their oaths,
do say that the said Paul Robinson
came to his death on the 9Th day Of
November, 1917, In said county and
state by q gun shot wound inflicted
in the right side about two inches
from the sternum and three below
the nipple, the gun being in the pos
session Of Luther Wampler and
Roosevelt Yarbough. We the under
signed jurors do not find sufficient
evidence In the case to hold the de-
PENDANTS guilty Of felonious intent"
(Signed) II. H. Roberts, ]. 7. Brown,
WIN Tyler, James Marshall, James
Hatton, Henry Mitchell, foreman.
The first story Of the shooting was
that as the victim, seated in wagon,
passed the boys one Of them pointed
the rifle at him. Robinson, with the
remark, II am going back to see why
those boys pointed that gun at me-"
got off the rig and started toward
the boys and when near them the
rifle was fired and Robinson fell dead,
shot through the heart.
This story, however, was not sub
stantiated at the hearing.
The boys acknowledged from the
start that they were in possession Of
the gun which killed Robinson, but
they claimed that the shooting was
accidental. They denied having
pointed the gun at Robinson and said
the weapon was on the seat between
them when It went off and none Of
the witnesses examined Saturday
could say their story was not true.
Sheriff Frasier testified that the. de-
livery wagon seat had back but that
there was cushion nearly as high as
the seat so. that there was nothing
to prove that the stock Of the rifle
was raised before the bullet was
fred.
