ROBINSON TRIAL.
MAY END TONIGHT
Judge and Counsel Confer
After States Rebuttal
Evidence Is In.


FRONT ROYAL. Va. July 30-The
prosecution in the case of Henry C.
Robinson, on trial in Warren County
Circuit Court here for the killing of
John M. Johnson, prosperous farmer,
and his son. Middleton Johnson, intro
duced its rebuttal evidence this morn
ing.
Court was recessed at 10 am to per-
NIT opposing counsel to confer with
the Judge on the instructions to the
jury 1t Is expected that both sides
will have completed their final argu
ments late this afternoon and that the
case will be given to the jury before
night.
The trouble between Robinson and
the two Johnsons grew out of minor
automobile accident near Front Royal
early in June. A disagreement de-
veloped over settlement of damages and
on June the contending parties met
in front Of the Methodist Church here.
The quarrel which ensued was termi-
mated when Robinson drew revolver
and shot johnson and his son to death.
Middleton Johnson, who was shot first,
died several hours later. The father
was killed instantly. Robinson claimed
he shot In self defense.
Hugh Reid. Front Royal millworker.
was the first rebuttal witness on the
stand this morning. He testified that
he was present at the time of the ac-
cident and denied that Johnson threat
ened Robinson with q wrench, as had
been claimed by the defense.
No Wrench in Car.
Deputy Sheriff Collins, was called to
the stand and testified that he searched
Johnson's car after the collision, and
did not find wrench. There was an
empty whisky bottle in the car, he said
Two other witnesses-Frank Nc
Interf and John W. Donaldson. friends
Johnson had not been drinking and was
not disorderly The defense claims he
was drunk and looking for trouble"
just before he met the defendant.
The only other witnesses to take the
stand this morning were two employees
of local barber shop, who we're called
to show that Richard Mills, a defense
witness, could not have seen the shoot
ing as was testified on the second day
Of the trial This attempt at rebuttal
fell short of it's mark, however, when
Defense Attorney Aubrey Weaver, in
cross examination. obtained an admis-
sion from the witness that they were
working at the time and did not know
where Mills was sitting at the moment.
They both denied Mills statement that
he was sitting in the window, but adj
mitted that he might have seen the
shooting from another position.
No Others Cor Defense.
The defense declined its opportunity
to put any witnesses on the stand at
this point.
Although there was no evidence that
there might be any disturbance in case
the Jury acquits Robinson, a squad OF
six State police were stationed in the
courtyard this morning.
Commonwealth Attorney John Fl.
Downing and George d. Horning, for
mer assistant United States district at
torney for Washington, are handling
the case for the State. The trio OF
