HAYWOOD IS FREED' Jury Satisfied as to the Innocence of the Accused QUICKLY MADE UP AN OPINION o Jury In I1aywood-Skinner Case Tried in Raleigh Deliberated Only a Few Minutes. Raleigh. Special. After being out llllf lll/ll'l' 1" ? i * *" ' ?.. ^ iiium i.i 1111111111^ weuncstiay, the jury in the trial of Finest Haywood for tlio murder of Hud low Skinner returned a verliet of not guilty. There was no demonstration, but smiles of delight were on the faces of Haywood, his counsel and his four brothers, who have been constantly with him. Haywood shook hands with h's counsel, and when he was discharged went at once to the jury box and shook hands with each juror, returning tiianks. Next he went to Judge Peebles and did the same. Colonel T. M. Argo closed for the defense, urging self-defense for Haywood and a persecution of hint and wiwtnesses for the defense. Judge Peebles next commented on the evidence and charged the jury. It was charged very favorable to the defendant. Haywood shot and killed Skinner in front of the postolfiee here on February m. a preliminary hearing was waived and at the March term the tria' was postponed oil account of absent witnesses. At the habeas corpus, the first of June, Haywood was released on $10,000 bail, in the case sevi ti lawyers appeared for the defense and five for the State. An acting solicitor was employed, as the solicitor declined to act because of his relationship to Haywood. The defendant did not testify. Judge Peebles stated that as the State admitted there was a blow stricken, then the charge of murder in I the second degree was eliminated, it i was 11:Itr? o'clock when the Judge gave ! his charge to the jury, which occupied i fifty minutes. He said it was not the duty of the jury to lie led off liy attacks on the prosecution. The question ! which concerns the jury was whether the defendant was guilty of any crime murder in the first or second degree, or nothing. The jury should be guided I by evidence and nothing else; to take I the evidence from the witnesses and tin- law from the courts, and not the law from the attorneys. There is no e.\*' vl ii'.ilici. in C M.uiu.. ti,...... ;. ;... I pi in! malice. The burden is on the de' fondant to prove there was no malice i in tlit* case. Claims he has done that 1 l>v Siimns, Schmltz, Hoeutt. Harms i and Fuller, and says there was not a i witness, except Sauls who contradicts i that. No witnesses, exctpt Sauls say | they saw any of the beginning of the ! trouble. The defendant says you ought I to believe him. because it is Ave to one. "he defendant says Sattls is not bu I j charac ter, and that there are other j witnesses who strengthen his contention. Two witnesses, Mr. Hillings and I the jailer, say the defendant had a j ted spot on his face. The defendant i says he thinks he was excusable un der the circumstances and that Schmitz. Hocutt, Fuller and Haines all i I swore that when Haywood rose up j | Skinner had jumped away S or 10 feet. I and all of them say he had his hand on j his pocket, some say the right, some : the left hand. He claims there is not as much conflict of evidence as might be imagined. That under those conditions he believed his life in danger, and that nobody contradicts, except Sauls, and the defendant thinks the others ought to he believed in preference. Here the judge read Jones Fuller's evidence, and said it was for the jury to say whether the shot could have struck him as Fuller thought. Notwithstand iiiK iin* race mat me state claimed to have proved the bad characters of Sehmitz and Hocutt, yet there are < ir unistaneea to show they told thetrntli. Tlie defendant claims their testimony is corroborated without icgard to their characters; that he pad apprehension he was about to be shot and that then the law excuses him. Ilut these are matters for the jury to decide. Because a man acts coolly it docs not debar him from the benefit of the law. The State says the jury ought to believe Fuller, who said when he saw l he deceased he was making no effort to draw a pistol. The State says it ought not to be re. ceivcd because of the blow. The blow did not excuse the killing hut did away with malice, if Mie jury believes the killing was done from anger and passion, and not from reasonable fear, the defendant is guilty ol manslaughter. The jury is not responsible io anbody for its verdict If the deceased jumped back and was attempting to draw a pistol the defendant had a right to fear. The jury was not out. 1 uvg barely 15 minutes, when it came in. There was a rush. Foreman Wiggs gave the verdict, " Not uilty." Senator Green Arrested. Birmingham, N. V.. Special. Senator George E.
