SLAYER CLEARED
BY GRAND JURY;
HELPED SHERIFF
Webster Allen, Who Defended
Officer In Attempted Jail
Delivery Given No-Bill

It brought no i'll luck to Webster
Allen, negro in Jail charged with
murder, to come to the assistance OF
Sheriff Harvey when the officer was
attacked by other negroes in the
county Jail on the night Of Novem-
Der S in an effort to effect escape
from custody. Possibly it brought
him no good luck, either, but the
fact remains that the Sumter county
grand jury, considering his case on
Monday evening, returned a no bill
of Indictment and SO Webster, until
today confined for several weeks un-
der capital charge, is now free
man without trial.
Just what transpired in the grand
jury room probably will not be
known. Sheriff Harvey, the man who
was attacked by others and defended
by Webster, did not appear before
the grand jury. But there were
members of that body who knew the
facts in connection with the Jail
episode And there were said to be
mitigating circumstances connected
with the offense with which Webster
was charged which also were known
personally to ether members Of the
grand jury, and the net result was
refusal to indict the negro.
Allen was arrested following the
killing of negro named Singletary
on the farm of Sumerford and An
derson, inside the city limits of Les
lie, few months ago. The slain
negro had been hit in the head with
an ak. Allen fled but was later ar
rested by Sheriff Harvey, who for
merly was in business at Leslie and
who was known personally by the
negro. Allen contended that he was
being pursued by Singletary who
held knife, and that in running
over fence he fell, with the pursu-
ing negro bearing down on him. He
discovered an ak within his reach anc
grabbed it, striking his assailant and
thus saving his own life. This story
was later said to have been verified
by witnesses.
Following was the net result of the
first days grind of the grand jury
