Tidwell ..id O;' a mne. w.iich caused

That the writer of the rote had u"ui in j

1
writer sent the no;e to Cheraw where
Tidwell was at the time. ! was also
shown that the note could not have
reached him had i: been nailed a; the
lime he said he presumed i was mailed.
Several of the jurors v p* v.'.i-n the j
mother of the bead boy i :ok t e stand. J
Col. Dean had this question pu: o
L jurors: "If selected as a juror in this i
f case, will you act according to the
evidence you hear c.' the s'&na and
according to -he law a.-, explained by
:he court, uninfluenced by other mo- |
tives?" This, it is said, was to head ;
off the "unwritten law*' plea. The
:
jurors are mostly farmers. Eleven of :
them are married men \vi h daughters.,
Ollie Tidwell, the girl whom the defence
charges young Walker seduced, :
rcok the stand, but her testimony was
i cut short when the defence changed
i:s procedure and introduced the defendant.
Interest in the case is intense here, j
as Walker was a member of a prominent
family and as iho killing took !

The killing of Walker was the result
of the arrest of Tidwell's wife and
daughter in an alleged house of disrepute
here on March 7. The woman
and the two men were in the same
room of this house. Tidwell came to
Greenville the night after the arresi
was made and the following Thursday
he went to Carolina Mills, called
Walker out and shot him dead. Walk
er was unarmed at ;he time. Tidwell,
i: is claimed, had endeavered to get
Walker to marry his daughter and to J
get the other man to marry his wife. 1
Each had refused.

Greenville, May 19.?Thr^ j hours of

story of Miss Olive Tidwell as !

whom the girl alleges caused her ruin.!
The girl and her stepmother. Mrs. Isabella
Tidwell, were arrested in an .
alleged disreputable house on the o-i:skirts
of the city "our days before
Walker was killed.
Miss Tidwell was on the stand during
the entire session and despiie the
rapid fire of questions hurled at her 1
by Solicitor Bonham, she maintained J
an ou: ward demeanor of composure, j
crying only upcn one occasion, ana j
mat was wueu xier iaiuci s aci-vi uc/
read a letter she received from Emmett
Walker. The letter contained
words of endearment and was piu in
evidence.
George W. Tidwell, Sr., the defen-'
dant, was kept on he stand throughout
the morning session and tJrxis afternoon j
his pretty young daugh:er, "OHie*/''
.vent through a cross-examniation |
equally as severe as that undergone by j
j her father.. She stood the test even
better than her fa:her, answering all1
questions in a quiet, timid manner, but '
showing no signs of breaking down.
A drooping panama hat partly hid :
the features of the pre.ty young girl
from the audience oefore her. Excep: j
when answering questions f=he hung j
her head in quiet grief. Part of the j
testimony is of too sordid a nature to ;

matioii from the witness. The girl's j
father patted her "enderly upon the I
shoulder on one occasion when she |
was permitted :o eo Jie from the stand ,
for a brief rest. .
George W. Tidwell. Jr., a well-known
young man, of Augusta, Ga.. gazed
ki..dly up :n his young sister as she de-.

upon his promise of marriage. ,

Beside the young Tidwell sat his

him was his gray-haired father watching
every move or his a'tornevs and j
listening with keen interest to the
testimony of his daughter.

It is now predicied that the Trial

Friday. Many witnesses are yet to be
heard, among these being Mrs.
Isabella Tidwell, the wife of the defen-1

The S:ate.
Greenville, | May 20.?The defense
in the case of. the S ate vs. G. W. Tidwoll
aomicorl of t'np 7rmrrt#?r nf R
Emmett Walker, rested its case this j
morning. The prosecution introduced
evidence contradicting s:atemen:s i
made by the defendant and by his 1
daughter. The evidence was salacious.
It told cf sordid acts and dual lives.
The State won the right 'o introduce
such testimony on the ground that if
the reputation of either woman was
notorious, the defendant must have
known something cii it. And if the l
i
defendant knew anything of the moral i
deliquency of his wife or dau^h-er.'
he could not have become suddenly j
insanse at the recitation made by his j
whpn hp ramp hprp nil i
March 7 to investigate her conduct. j
The defendant had stated tha: young .
Walker, who was prominent socially i
and was paymaster at a local mill,
had come to 'his hotel room armed
and wearing an overcoat. Testimony
o: two witnesses who accompanied
Mr. Walker refused :his statement. !
The girl -ad testified tha' she was j
not iir?'rv:ral with any man other than ;
Walker. Another man volunteered hi:-.
