CLOSE TESTIMONY. IN CASE AGAINST
 SHERIFF MITCHELL
Case to Be Held Open Till July 12, While Search for Missing Witnesses to
 Be Continued

Florence, July 7.-(Special )-Tes- against Sheriff George ". Mitchell of Lauderdale county was completed this afternoon by Commissioner Noble H. Seay The two missing wit nesses of the state, J. R. Bradley, white man, and Aaron Black, negro, were not found.
 The commissioner announced that he would hold the case open until July 12, and If the witnesses could be located their testimony would be taken. On July 12 the evidence in the case will be presented to the su- preme court justices, who will re- view the evidence and hand down their decision.
 When Sheriff Mitchell took the stand this morning he was subjected to a very gruelling cross- -examina- tion by Assistant Attorney General Horace c. Wilkinson. who is repre- senting the state. MT. Wilkinson propounded two questions regarding
 
 alleged testimony given by Sheriff Mitchell in the Stevenson murder case, according to the official court record in an attempt to establish the states charge of perjury. The ques- tions were in regard to Aaron Black, the negro who has been summoned as one of the principal witnesses for the state in the present hearing, and who cannot be located, although state Jaw enforcement officers have conducted a diligent search for him since Tuesday afternoon.
 The sheriff is alleged to have testi- fled in the former case that BLACK was a stranger to him up to the time of the fatal shooting of Carl Ander- son, deputy sheriff, and that on the night of the killing he arrested the negro and locked him up in the coun- ty jail. When he was asked today whether he gave such testimony ms reply was, q don't remember.
 When the hearing first began Tues day morning Commissioner Seay ruled all testimony in the Stevenson case immaterial evidence but has allowed it to be entered into the record for the supreme courts information and final decision.
 Denies All Charges
