TIME FOR TREMBLING

An attempt was made to show by the witness that Bon c. Searcx was not on patrol at the barracks between midnight and o'clock that morning and that he was sent to Townley on patrol. Lieutenant McBride said he walked Searcy up shortly after { o'clock and sent hlm to Townley but not before. Searcy had testified Thursday that he was on guard at the Barracks and saw Lancaster in his bunk asleep when he went into his room to build up the fire at o'clock and 2:30 o'clock.
 A great effort was made by the state to confuse Mcbride about his statement during the investigation of the lynching which was conducted in Judge Wilkinson's office at Birming- ham. The defense objected to the reading of any statement purporting to have been made by the witness in the investigation. The objection was over ruled.
 Did you shrink or tremble when you were asked if you told Springer to take that thing (tho automobile) and stick it?" asked Judge Wilkin- son.
 T don't think I did." an.wsred Lieu told on you like that you would have trembled. too"
 The witness could not say whether he was asked on the preliminary in- vestigation if he saw the captains car the morning of the lynchfng.
 Now. lieutenant, as matter of fact. weren't you away from camp the night of the lynching?" asked Judge Wilkin- son.
 q was not" answered Mcbride. ~I was in bed in camp that night.'

This testi- mony was intended to contradict thu statement of Leslie West, star witness for the state. who said the soldiers left

 Corp. E. B. True, witness for the defense, was recalled for cross-exam- ination by the state and admitted that he saw Baird in jail few days be- fore the lynching and that on this trip he was accompanied by the defendant, Lancaster, and Sergeant White. This admission corroborated the testimony of J. F. (Bud) Sides jailer, that three soldiers, including Lancaster, were in the jail shortly before the prisoner was taken by the mob.
 On redirect examination True said it~was not unusual for soldiers to go to the jail with prisoners, but on cross examination again he admitted that he never had been upstairs before. He also admitted that they were required to leave their guns downstairs when they went up to the compartment where Baird was confined.
 The state attempted to show by True that all prisoners carried to the jail were soldiers charged with minor ofenses, but on redirect examination True said among those he assisted in carrying to jail were .he men charged with the murder of Leon Adler and others
