OF George Johnson
On Murder CHARGE

The trial of George johnson, alias
PIT" negro charged with the murder
of Patrolman Guy Saint. will be called
next week by court order, and disposed
of at that time. Called Monday, the
case went over for a week because the
state was not prepared for trial.
Johnson was indicted on March for
Saints murder. after he had been held
in jail several weeks on larceny
charge. His attorney. w. B. Rosen-
field, told the court Monday that while
the larceny charge was mere camou-
flage to keep the negro in Jail, wkyle
police worked I'D evidence In the Saint
case. that he had consented. week by
week, for the negro to be held. But
he demanded trial Immediately, on the
ground that the 21a months which
johnson has been in Jail was time suf-
ficient for the office of the states at
torney to get all evidence he ever could
obtain.
Judge Tom Harsh assured Rosenfield
that, while he intended to give the
state every chance. il there could be
unearthed evidence that the negro
killed Saint yet the trial would be set
peremptorilv for one week ahead. and
at that time, the negro either would
go to trial, get a not guilty verdict, or
be freed. Rosenfield accepted the
compromise
