Palmer Tells Of Provocation
Home Of Black Suing
Former Sheriff.

NJ. W, Palmer, deputy sheriff, who
is alleged TO have seriously wounded
Robert Smith, negro farmer, north Of
Bartlett. in September. 1917. while he
and N. q. Tate. then sheriff, Ed Brad
ley and r. b wilroy. deputies. sought
70 search Smiths house for Benny
smith, Robert Smiths nephew, wanted
Tor shooting another negro, told the
Jury Thursday that he did shoot Smith
twice, but not until after Smith tried
10 shoot him with a Winchester rifle.
Deputies Wilroy and Bradley also
testified. telling the same story as that
told by Palmer.
Palmer said that while the sheriff
n Bradley were at the front door ad-
monishing Smith to let them In, he
n Wilroy went to the back door and
found the IGOR open. They went In, he
said, not having to force their way in.
While going In they heard the sheriff
and Bradley in the front telling Bob
Smith 10 let them in, that they were
officers and were looking for Benny
Smith. The negro replied: II will not
let any man in my house after
s~undown,' according to the witness.
Wtlroy preceded Palmer through the
rear door, when Palmer heard Smiths
wife call to him to bring the rifle, Il
then entered" testified Palmer, and
told Smith that no one wanted to hurt
him, and ordered him to lay his gun
down" He said Smith was not sitting
on the bed. as the negroes had testi-
fled, but standing in the floor with the
Winchester rifle In his hands, He
had the u ready to shoot" Palmer
said.
About that time, according to the
witness, Bradley appeared at the rear
Of the house and entered the back door,
Smith then sprang like a cat from q
trunk where he had seated himself and
aimed the gun at Palmer. the deputy
said. Bradley closed in and grabbed
the gun. which was discharged. At the
same time, Palmer said he fired, hit
ting Smith In the hand.
The negro, who Is a large man, was
getting the best OF Bradley and he fired
again, the bullet taking effect in the
body. Things we're looking bad and
| never expected to get out Of that
house alive" Palmer said.
About that time Palmer said George
Smith, son of the old man, ran In and
grabbed him, breaking his searchllght.
To get rid of George he said he knocked
him over the head.
He could have shot George II he had
wanted to, he said.
Smith we're getting the best Of Brad
ley and he, Palmer, struck the oma
over the head with his pistol, breaking
the handle of the weapon.
He said the sheriff did not have q
warrant for Benny Smiths arrest.
The defense will close its proof Thurs
day afternoon and the case probably
will go to the jury before the closing
hour OF court.
