WILLIAMS STORY
CLOSES DEFENSE
Arguments Begin This After
noon in Newton Court
TO JURY BY FRIDAY
Williams Makes Rambling Re-
cital of Events in Case
by International News Service)

CONVICTION, Ga, April 7th---
With the expectation hat the State
will rest its case today, the trial Of
John Williams, wealthy planter charg-
ed with murder, and the sensational
evidence of the negro Manning, inter
est was somewhat abated when the
Court opened this morning. The de-
tense announced that Williams will be
placed on the stand.
Tells of Finding Bodies
After two witnesses had been
placed on the stand, counsel for the
state rested just before II o'clock.
Rena Manning, wife of the star
witness, corroborated certain parts of
her husbands testimony. Sheriff
johnson told of finding the bodies of
three negroes in the Yellow River
and, despite objections from the de-
tense, told the details of the trips
which led to the finding of five bodies
on the Williams plantation in Jasper
county. The bodies were found just
where the negro Manning said they
would be- The sheriff described the
wounds on the bodies
The defense opened with John
Williams on the stand in his own de-
Tense. He told of his life and of his
farming operations in Newton and
Jasper counties.
He Tells Rambling Story
Williams said he was hard work
ing farmer. He never had oeen ar
rested before, and none of his sons
had ever been arrested. They are all
veterans of the world war
Tbs farm is not so large as the
papers say and is mortgaged He
declard that after federal agents told
him he was technically guilty of
peonage, he offered to let any ne
groes on the farm go and Otis Free
man was sent away with two dollars
but wanted to come back
Williams said that Preston, Peter
son and Price, the negroes Manning
says he helped Stay, came to him
asking to leave and gave them each
$500 This was one Saturday night.
They left then and he has never seen
them since
Il stayed in MY house that night"
Williams testified, 'and missed the
negroes next morning" He asked
Manning who said, "Mister Johnny,
them boys have gone He heard
later the bodies of some negroes had
been found in the Yellow River, and
went to Folks store to see if he
could identity them.
Williams story was rambling and
disconnected. II don't know why
Manning told this story on me-" said
Williams. Maybe the jailor could
tell you smething. I've had no time
to get up any evidence to contradict
this negro. I have had trouble with
Manning several times. He was a
cruel negro.
Debate Starts Today
Williams told his story facing the
jury and interspersed it with siren
nous gestures.
"That's our case, said Col. Greene
Johnson, as he announced the closing
for the defense. The lawyers con-
ferred as to arguments and court re-
cessed to lis o'clock.
1t was announced that thr e e
speeches would be made on each side.
Former Congressman William Schley
Howard will close for the state and
Col Johnson for the defense. John
son stated his belief that the case
will go to- the jury by noon Friday.

ALABAMA RELEASED
FROM QUARANTINE
Scouting Campaign Against Mexican
Bean Beetle Has Been Effective.

WASHINGTON, d. c., July 27.-The
release of the State of Alabama from
quarantine on account of the Mexican
bean beetle. a very destructive crop
pest, was announced today by the Fed
eral horticultural board of the United
States department of agriculture. The
order signed by Secretary Wallace be-
came effective July %. This action was
decided upon on account of recent de-
velopments in the scouting campaign
against the beetle in the south, which
showed a much greater present distri-
button than was estimatd at the end
OF last season.
AT the time the quarantine order
was promulgated the infested area was
believed to be confined to 13 counties
in Alabama and to cover an area Of
about $500 square miles. Scouting
during the present summer shows
that the beetle is present in injurious
numbers over about 10000 square
miles in the states of Alabama, Geor-
gia and Tennessee. and is distributed,
although as yet thinly, over an addi-
tional 10000 square miles in these
states, as well as in Kentucky and
South Carolina.
Latest reports show the insect to be
within 10 miles of Florida, Is miles of
Mississippi miles of North Carolina
and % miles of Virginia. The varied
nature of crops grown over this large
territory renders the practical applica-
ton of regulated quarantine difficult,
if not impossible, with the funds avail
able, say officials of the board. More,
over. material hardship, they believe,
would be occasioned in the general ag-
ricultural development of this region
should such a quarantine be enforced.
1t is evident. officials say. from the
present distribution of this insect east
of the Mississippi river either that the
rate of spread is much greater than
was originally believed possible, or
that the original introduction took
place at a date several years earlier
than reports would indicate. In either
case, the continuation of the quaran-
tine was thought unjustifiable in the
light of present information, as the
economic loss through it's enforcement
would more than counterbalance the
gain.
