Death Sentence for
Wallace Confirmed

Sumter, April 2.-An order retus-
ing a new trial to J. C. Wallace mas
been filed with the clerk of court oy
Judge S. W. G.. Shipp, the motion TOR
a new trial having been made before
him at the close of the spring term
of court of general sessions in Feb
ruary. Wallace, a white man, was
convicted of attempted criminal as
sault on a young girl and was sent
enced to die in the electric chair.
The motion for a new trial was based
on an affidavit made by N. B. Cooke
rill. chief witness against Wallace,
to the effect that his, Cackerills tes-
timony at the trial was false.
The state, however, also presented
an affidavit from Cockerill Of later
date, alleging that this first affidavit
had been made when he was intoxi-
Gated and that he did not know what
he was doing.
A number of afidavits were filed
by both sides as to the character of
the witnesses, sane condition of Cock
erill when he made his first affidavit,
and testimony given at the trial.
Judge Shipp in his order said:
Several afidavits set forth that
n. B. Cockerill and Mrs. Dora E..
Wallace, witnesses in the trial of this
case for the state, had made state
ments since the trial contradicting
and repudiating their testimony. One
affidavit is made by N. B. Cockerill
in which he state that he repudiates
his testimony given on the trial. How
ever, he makes an affidavit in reply
that he was drunk when he signed
the affidavit in question and did not
know what he was signing and that
he has never made statements in con-
flict with his testimony and that he
reaffirms the testimony as given at
the trial. An affidavit in reply is
made by Mrs. Dora E. Wallace that
she has never made statements in
conflict with her testimony and that
she reaffirms the same.
81 have carefully read the testi-
mony in the trial of this case and all
the affidavits produced before me and
under the law as laid down in the
following cases, to wit: State VS.
Workman, 3S S. C. $50; State VS..
Adams, 7S S. c. 523, and State VS..
Bethune, 1O4 S. C. 359, do not think
it proper to grant a new trial. There
fore, the motion for a new trial in
this case is hereby refused, and it is
so ordered"
