DENIES MAN WAS. CAST INTO RIVER. AFTER BEING TIED
Codefendant Says Carter Was Turned Loose-AIibi Attempted-Night Ses-
 sion Is Held
JASPER BUREAU 1 THE AGE-HERALD ! AL EA q

In order to expedite the trial of Coleman Snoddy. charged with the murder of man known as Joe Car ter, whose remains were found in the Warrior river in December, 1921, with an automobile chain attached to his leg, a night session of court was held Thursday night. Former inmates of the county jail testified that Robert Brown, who has turned states evil dence in the case. told them while they were in jail that he was going to do as Leslie West did in the Baird case. that he was going to lay all the blame on the Snoddy brothers and get out of jail on the strength of his testimony.
 Mrs. James Snoddy mother of Cole man Snoddy. testified Friday morn ing that Coleman stopped at home on the night Carter was carried away and she let him have $5 in money. Mrs. Snoddy testified that the couple of chains secured at home that night were Ford chains and not Buick chains. A Buick chain was found on the dead mans leg. Coleman had owned several Ford cars before he got q Buick, Mrs. Snoddy testified.
 Deputy United States Marshal R. Bates and his son, Lee Bates, both testified that Coleman Snoddy had carried them tn numerous raids in Buick in the summer and fall of 1921, but they had never seen chain in his car or on his car during those trips.
 Snoddy Defends Brother
 Sammie Snoddy, brother of Cele- man Snoddy. who helped carry Car ter away from Hester's mining camp on November S. 1921. and is under indictment tor murder himself, took the stand Friday morning fer the de- fense. Sammies testimony was the same as all the other witnesses in r-ference to how Carter was carried away from Hester's camp and from Sherers camp.
 He testified, however, that the party went out on the Boldo road and turned Carter loose in the road near the Boldo church and that Cole man Snoddy warned Carter never to return tc' Hester's camp. Coleman Snoddy's evidence in his own defense was the same as that given by his brother, Sammie. The defense sprung an alibi Friday afternoon when the testimonies of two Birmingham wit nesses was introduced.
 MT. McVay, former manager of the McVay seed house, stated that a man named Carter came to his store in Birmingham late in November or early in December, 1921, and asked for work. The witness testified in substance that Carter said he had heard the Snoddy brothers in Walker county speak Of his seed store, and he thought that he might get work there. The witness testified Carter said he might go back to Walker county if he failed to get work in Birmingham Another Birmingham witness testified that he saw Carter at a Birmingham boarding house about the time he was carried away from Hester's camp.

MAYNARD BIDS FIRST
FOR GOOD HIGHWAY

Citizens Of Maynard were the frst
to express an interest In the PROPOSE
tion made by County Judge Million
last week with reference to bettering
the condition OF Randolph county pub
lie roads.
letter was received by Judge Mil
lion from Ben Choate, cashier Of the
Bank Of Maynard, Saturday morning
In which he stated that the citizens
Of that town were interested to the
extent that they would guarantee the
hauling Of 1000 loads OF gravel and
placing on the Pocahontas-Ma Maynard
rond. the work to begin just as soon az
crops are laid by. provided the Judge
will see that proper grade Is es-
tablished. otherwise IL Is known fact
that the gravel without a proper dump
would do very little good.
OF course there are many farmers
living alon the Pocahontas-Aiaynard
road, two or three miles on either side
who would be glad TO help with this
proposition, when they see that some
sure enough substantial work Is to be
done In fact we hardly think that
any man would refuse.

FIND HEADlESS BODY
OF new BORN BABE

The headless body of a new born
baby was found in a slough near town
Tuesday afternoon by some boys who
were building a wire fence across the
slough. The boys made their discov-
cry known and Immediately Sheriff
Gullett and A. J. Lewis went to the
scene and recovered the body and
brought ii to town, where an inquest
was held Wednesday morning before
Esquire J. A. Douglass, sitting as cor
oner.
The verdict was that the child came
to its death at the hands Of someone
to the jury unknown.
1t is the general opinion that the
baby was an illegitimate child and was
killed and placed into the slough by
the mother to hide her shame. 1t is
thought that the crime was committed
probably a week ago. The head Of the
child had been eaten off by turtles
and the body was otherwise badly de-
composed The officers think they have
a clue to the identity of the guilty
party.but so far no arrests have been
made.
