Twelve York citi z?ns about fl:30 o'clock tonight be gan delilxtaiing tlie question g t< whether Morris McFadden, Hock Hid speed cop, acted within his right* on tho night of February ii7 on Saluil i road <>ut of Rock Hill when lit* shot ?..into the speeding automobile driven hy Jtcnnie Cook, of Chester, and killed Dewey Simpson, a passenger, After two strenuous days .of tes timony and argument the case went to thv' juiy tonight following a rather brief charge hy Judge Mem plinjjffr and t h?- twelve went to theii task, Testimony was all in thin morning ?at 1 I o'clock after the defense had introduced five additional witnesses, making a total of twenty-four in. all. Four of these this morning testified to the coolness* and courage of Mc Fadden. Two of rthese .served with him in Company < 1 , 118th infantry, in France. Judge Memnvngcr re fused to al low testimony as to how McFadden acted under file a: liellico'urt and .other fields in France and Belgium, Among those who had been called to give such testimony was Col. Arthur Spratt, former lieutenant colonel, former commander of the 1 ISth infantry of the Thirtieth It was ('apt. Carlisle White, pi h tol expert, who gave ordeal testi mony as to the course of a bullet fiied at. a fleeing automobile by a speeding motorcycle. McFadden claim ed on the stand yetfterday that the 'third and last from his pistol had been fired unintentionally while he was trying to eontrol his machine, and he said he had no idea where it went. The defense claimed it was tli is bullet that took tjie other man's life. The state claims it was ? the second shot fired, and McFadden said he fired at a rear tire deliberately. Five and otic-half hours today were consumed in argument of counsel. Senator David Hamilton of Chester, John K. Hart of York and \V. B. Wilson of Koek Hill, counsel for the defendant, argued that their client had. acted only in 'the discharge of his duty, that In- was trying, to stop n car flying at sixty miles an hour which endangered the lives of citizens v>n Koek ?
