Such was Ele reply Oh JdAHcS

ly every question put to him by
prosecution and defense attorneys
at the trial before Judge w. A. o.
Connor in the superior court yester-
day afternoon of Lillian Byrd, col
ored, charged with numbering Ser
geant William Williams Of Com
pany G of the 25th Infantry.
Peters was one of the main wit
nesses at the Byrd woman's pre-
liminary hearing held on December
two months ago today-three
days after Williams died from a
stab wound inflicted on the night
of November II at the home OF
Laura Spillman, LOT Perkins street.
Peters had a lot to say at the
December l preliminary but little
yesterday. He testified yesterday
that he did not even remember OF
ever testifying at the preliminary
held before Justice of the Peace
Charles E. Hardy in the very same
room at the courthouse in which
the Byrd woman is now fighting
for her life.
Second Witness
Peters was the second witness put
on the stand at the Byrd trial which
opened yesterday morning. Work of
obtaining a jury was completed
shortly after the noon recess.

at the Spillman home. Williams died
at the hospital shortly after being
rushed there by police.
The blood stained army clothing
worn by Williams on the fatal night
also his heart showing how par
ing knife had penetrated it, were
presented in court. These gruesome
exhibits were closely watched by the
defendant as County Attorney E.
r. Thurman, for the prosecution,
and Attorney Duane Bird, counsel
for the defendant, questioned Major
Brummette as to the route the knife
took. Attorney Bird is being assisted
at the trial by his partner, iAttorn-
ey Thomas Hall.
Brummette was on the stand un-
til 3:15 o'clock. then came James
Peters, whose reply Of IT tIor't re :
member" to most questions vas the
highlight of the day.
Attorneys Thurman ana Bird reaG
to Peters questions put to HIM ana
his replies, made at the preliminary
hearing two months ago today.
Practically all that he "remomber-
ed" was hauling Williams to the
Spillman home, phoning for
the police, and seeing Mrs. Laura
Spillraan open up the wounded
mans blouse.
Questioned by County Attorney
Thurman, he said "no one had talk
ed to him about this case" and that
he had forgotten all about it,. He
denied seeing the fight that night
in the Spillman yard. At the pre-
Iininary he said he saw the fight

HIGH POINTS IN ADDRESS

Some of the high points in the add
ress were: First, spectators and players.
In this illustration it was clearly shown
that anybody could be a spectator, but
it took a real man or woman, boy or
girl to he one of the players in the
game. In the second point he illus
trated the fact that one could choose
to be something or nothing. He brought
out the fact, that a mother advised her
little son to be good while she was go
ing away for short visit. The boy
replied Mother, will be good for a
nickle " The mother replied "Son, l
want you to be good for nothing" Rev.
Williams showed in his argument that
this statement could be interpretated
from different angles.
The third point illustrated the fact
that we see the world from our respec-
tive places in which we live. If our
scope or territory is large, then we see
tiiS WI ~ iiOii tiidt ciiSiS' II VIC illlO
ourselves in a well and in looking to-
ward the top of the well, then view
few feet space, the world to us seems
to be three feet in diameter Rev
Williams stated that there are individu-
ais who can only see the world there
of four feet in diameter. If we would
only come to the top of the well, we
would see a broad horizon that we
would have dreamed did not exist. This
beautiful illustration was taken from
the frog in the well and the bird that
happened to be flying around, found
well and observed the frog in it The
beautiful little bird tried to persuade
the frog to leave the narrow we'll, but
the frog being satisfed-as some of us
make ourselves satisfied, said 81 have
been here these many years, am sleep
ing and am eating and | am satisfied"

Rev. Williams on the this address which
was a master piece.

Plans To
Split Rails Again

Des Moines, Ia, May 26th (ANP)
Believe-it-or-N Ripley has never met
Green Hutchinson, and when he does,
he'll have another yarn to spin.
Green Hutchinson is now a patient
at the Broadlawns General hospital,
recovering from a broken left arm,
three broken ribs and cash in the
head, caused by Ratchet.
This coming July S, Green Hutchin-
son will be los years old.
The story in this, as partly relied
in The Register:
Hutchinson was born in 1928 and
worked by the lash and lived by the
osh" until freed by the Union soldiers
during the Civil war. Beaten and
kicked, bludgeoned and whipped,
Hutchinson survived his nseanest over
seer and even and automobile accid-
ent eight years ago." The accident
caused broken leg and shoulder but
failed to put an end to his life.
But, slightly more than two months
ago, Sunday, March S, Hutchinson left
his cabin and before he returned was
mysteriously beaten up. He was taken
t. the hospital where his wounds were
dressed and later he was returned to
his cabin, off the road behind some
billboards.
The centenomarian with three broken
br1l,a,1 mi hachaI i. haaH
lay in his cabin for three days before
a Good Samaritan came along. That
good Samaritan was white, ]. Alvin
Mitchell.
Mr.. Mitchell is 60 years old. His
father, Daniel H. Mitchell, was an
Abolitionist who operated station
of the Underground Railroad. Young
Mitchell knew Greer Hutchinson. The
two men had often talked of the
old days. On this particular day, cold
and bleak, Mitchell was on his way
from his farm into Des Moines. He
passed the billboards, hiding Hutchin-
sons cabin, the fire having gone out
long ago, when Mitchell entered and
found the aged ex-slave lying still and
hungry.
Through funds provided h Mr.
Mitchell, Hutchinson has since re-
ceived the best of care. His ribs have
healed and so has his head. His arm
is out of the cast. Doctors have told
him he may be up and about in few
weeks. MIR. Mitchell has prepared a
home for the old man on his farm and
Hutchinson, out of gratefulneks, has
made his white benefactor promise.
He remembers the days when he used
to split 400 and 500 rails and he has
promised his friend that as soon as he
is in shape, he's going back to splitting
rails again to repay the Good Samari-
tan.
