Verdict In Celebrated
Trial Nav Be Reach
ed oniqht

CONVICTION, April 8.-John S.
Williams, the Jasper county planter
VISA willing to sacrifice the convict
ives" Of eleven negroes on his farm
to his own security and pride OF posi-
ton, the jury trying him for the muir
der of one OF them. was told today by
former Congressman William M
Howard, in the closing argument for
The prosecution Only those negroes
who had been bailed out Of Jail and
whom he said were held on the Will
liams farm by force to work out
debts, were subject to this terrible
contagion Of death" Howard said.
Greene Johnson, leading counsel
for Williams, followed Howard with
a final plea for the defendant's ac-.
quittal, and it appeared early today
as though the judges charge would
be completed and the case given To
the jury for consideration before
night
In his address, flaying Williams un-
mercifully, Howard contended that
even if the jury did not believe the
statement of the negro Clyde Man
ming that he helped William kill the
elevent men, the fact that they had
been killed and that Williams alone
had motive for their murder, re-
NAMED for their consideration
Williams got his sons away from
the farm before an investigation int1
the killing was started, Attorney
Howard argued to the jury, to which
Attorney johnson replied by saying
that Williams sons were not on trial.
Attorney Johnson. in his final plea
for Williams. assailed Manning as
a Confessed liar and an admitted
murderer, who in his own statement
said he had knocked niger Oh
the head as he would an OK" Man
ning's ignorance had allowed the ne
gro to believe himgeh to be as gull
ty as Williams Of peonage. ard that
belief furnished him motive for
the killings, Attorney johnson de-
clared
Attorney johnson also urged that
the Jury remember that Williams was
being tried for only one Of the q
legged murder, and that the others
should not be considered in connec-
tion with their verdict. Court re-
cessed for lunch before Attorney
Jchneon concluded his address.
