MAJOR COART'S
CASE TO GO TO
JURY BY NIGHT
Leading Counsel Argues He
Should Be Freed On Written,
Not Unwritten, Law

TALBOTTON, March 15.-George
C. Palmer, leading counsel for the
defense, opened the arguments at to-
days session of the trial of Major
Lee II. Coart, charged with the muir
der of A. B. McNiece, county school
superintendent, last fall He spoke
about two hours, maintaining that
the defendant should be freed on the
grounds of iustifiable homicide, con-
tending that Major Coart was due
to be exonerated on the grounds of
written, not unwritten, law.
The prosecution contends that
nothing has been shown to indicate
that Mrs. Coart was ever guilty Of
wrong-doing or serious indiscretion
in her association with McNiece, as
stated by Coart in his statement, and
maintains that Coarts references to
his wife's associations with Nc
Niece were only insinuatiops and
manifestations of jealousy.
Arguments are expected to be
completed and the case given to the
jury late today.
| Two arguments were completed to-
day, the first by A. J. Perryman
i for the defense, and the second
by A. P. Persons for the state.
Yesterday afternoon Mrs, McNiece
was recalled by the state in rebuttal
of Major Coart's statement in which
he said her charges against him were
lies Mrs. McNiece was asked by
Attorney Mclaughlin if anybody told
her to testify to what she stated on
the stand Monday afternoon, Mrs,
| McNiecc said that nobody under the
! sun chad suggested it. Neither
would | perjure myself, nor embar-
rass myself by relating before this
court those humiliating circumstances
had it not been the unmitigated
! truth she said.
