Chicago almost before the in

The jury said the deciding
factor In It's acquittal Of Bryant

over the identity Of the ITALIA

was attached TO 1t as q weight.

In the Delta that 1t might have

Mississippi's Till Case
Left Much Unexplained

never were required, however, TO
luse such an argument.
No Motive Testimony
! The suppression from the Jury
fof Mrs. Bryant's story left the
State with little In the way OF
motive. The jury was left with
no particular reason why the
two defendants would want to
lkidnap and XIII young Till.
Judge Swango. ~. has been
on the bench four years after
10 career as q Mississippi legis-
lator. He Is urbane and a con-
ndent interpreter Of the law. His
decisions on points Of law during
the trial invariably were unhesi-
ltant.
The jury complimented Dis
ltrict Attorney Gerald Chatham
for his conduct Of the case. al
though it denied him . convic-
ltion,
Mr.. Chatham said before the
testimony began:
"a substantial part Of the
States case Is circumstantial."
Circumstantial evidence is hard
to sell to Q ry-although juries
can and do convict on nothing
more. In this case. 1t meant no
death weapon. no direct evidence
ION how young TIL met death. no
witnesses. no iron-clad legally
admissible confession Of murder
and a very weak suggestion Of
motive.
That, then. was how the trial
was conducted.
Little Investigation
What Of the things that are
reflected in a court of lawn
criminal investigations that pre-
Icede the legal arguments? Sum-
ner. Miss. is o little town Of $50
persons. It's sheriff is not
equipped with big city crime
detection apparatus. It's district
attorney covers four counties
and has no funds for investiga-
tors Of his own.
Emmett TIL was believed TO
have died with q bullet wound
in his head. But the expert wit
ness to this at his trial was
Sheriff II. c. Strider Of Talla-
hatchie County. The sheriff
testified there was q hole in
the boys head about the size
lof a bullet hole. but he couldn't
say whether 1t was q bullet hole.
He probed into it with a stick
but couldn't determine whether
the hole penetrated the skull. he
said.
Time Of death was a key point
in the Till case also. His body
couldn't have been in the water
more than three days-from his
kidnapping August % until the
recovery OF a body in the Talla-
hatchie River August 81. The
defense claimed the Tallahatchie
body had been In the water from
eight to Is days. On this vital
point. the jury heard evidence
from q small-town doctor who
said he viewed the body but did
not touch it. and q small-town
undertaken. q high school grad
uate with one year of training
in a mortuary college.
No Autopsy Conducted
There never was an autopsy

now buried in 9 Chicago grave

the body might have revealed

which he pleaded for an acquit-

Whistling Motive
Bryant and Milan were ac-
cused Of taking young TIL from

The State held this as the mo-

Then, she continued. the Negro

ruled it inadmissible because II
occurred four days before the

The jury never heard it.
Judge Swango allowed the
testimony on the record in the
jury's absence as a guide to any
appeals court that might review
his decision. Since the jury did
not hear her, there was no rea-
son for the State to cross
