Washington stated he didn't know
anything about what else occurred or
anything about the deed to Carl

the circumstances brought out at the

later denied 1t. He is now in jail and
his case charging forgery IL set for
next week in the criminal court.
Washington was tried and convicted
and sentenced to die for the murder.
He stoutly maintained his innocence
and claimed he was given Carlson's
automobile by a negro named j. G.
Boyd. He claimed that Boyd was a
bootlegger and asked him to drive the
car to Nashville and later to Louis
vile, where he was arrested. Since the
| conviction of Washington 1t has been
thought he would finally confess. Day

and Washington's attorney. John Hell
mick, have talked with Washington
in an effort to get him to talk, but
their efforts were in vain until Mon
day he told the story of his crime.
