The young man, Turley Wright,

elderly white woman, land was con-

prisonment upon testimony of herself
and her two granddaughters, later
shown to have been perjured. 1t was
further established that the jury gave
verdict of guilty and a relatively

white attorney of Centreville, Ten

ney General, E. w. Eggleston, let it
be known he would agree to verdict
of not guilty in the second trial $50
as to completely vindicate a badly
wronged boy" Judge j. C. Hobbs
briefly reviewed the case from the
bench explaining to the jury that in

had admitted perjury, and also that
some of the jurors had made sworn
statements to the effect that they

mob violence, and for these reasons
having doubt as to his guilt, he had

turn verdict of not guilty"
The perjured testimony alleged
that the young colored man criminally
