increased activity in the church. For
FIVE weeks preceding the date set, cot.
tage prayer meetings were held in diff.
ferent districts, covering the whole
town, the attendance in some in
stances being beyond expectation,
showing the interest in the meetings
to follow. Since the beginning of the
conference year, IA persons have unit

Joseph H. Hall Exhonorated
In Court Of Squire
Harter Today al,e
AGED MAN GIVEN
HEARING IN COURT
Mother OF Girl Alleged To
Threatened To Shoot
The Defendant

Justice George s. Harter, this morn.
ing, following the hearing given In the
action brought In his court alleging
the rape Of Golda Coins, a 12.year.oid
coIored girl by Joseph s. Hall, aged
70, a Civil War veteran, dismissed the
charge. 81
| The charge against Hall had been
made by Mrs. Rosemary Coins, who
accused Hall of having had illegal re.
lations with her adopted daughter,
Coda, on or about Sept. last. When
first arraigned Hall made plea of not
guilty and demanded hearing which
was set for Wednesday, Dec. IA.
1t was alleged that the offense had
been committed near Riverside park,
it being claimed Hall throughout the
summer had been accustomed to at
tempt undue liberties with children
visiting Riverside park
The evidence presented to the court
against Hall proved to be weak and
unconvincing. DR.. G. X. Conard testi-
|
fed that an examination made by
him had revealed no evidence of an
assault OF the nature alleged. Fur
thermore, the testimony of the girl
herself describing the alleged affair
convinced the court of the impossi-
bility of crime of the nature alleged
having been committed.
Prosecuting Attorney Paul M. Ash
baugh conducted the case in his off.
cial capacity and at the conclusion of
the examination advised the court
that in his opinion the defendant
could not be held under the charge.
The defendant was represented by
,, Attorney b. Il. Sapp. The case was
presented to the court without argu-
ment and dismissal was ordered in
brief time.
The hearing was attended by a
large number the court room being
crowded almost to the limit OF It's ca
pacity.
| FOiiOWIub tut COuCluSIOu VI Iut
case Mrs. Coins and number of her
friends expressed great and unquali.
fed Indignation because of the dis.
position of the matter 1t being as they
described 1t "cut and dried" Mrs
Coins, who had been reported to have
made threats of a purpose to shoot
Hall, was closely watched by Consta.
BILE Sensel until after the defendant
had left the building In which Justice
Harter holds his court.
Mrs. Coins and her friends gather.
ed at the foot OF the stairway where
they excitedly discussed the case an.
nouncing their complete dissatisfac.
tion with the disposition OF the mat.
ter They saw In 1t another evidence
of the impossibility of colored folks
getting justice from white men where
white mon are involved.
The accusation against Hall has
been matter of keen distress to him
and members OF his. family. Mrs. Hall
is reported to have suffered stroke
4 ofIparalysis since the charges against
Hall have been brought having wor.
ried and being DISTRESSED by the ma.
turc Of the crime alleged.
