M|id lhat he hail advised his brother
to plead guilty. On redirect exainlnn

Upon t he>v and other lines he was
i Igorously attacked by the attorneys
for the defendant, hoth In their cross
examination, and In their arguments
to the Jury, and he was vigorously de
fended by the State's attorneys upon
fhe theory that his testimony had been
corroborated by other witnesses whose
Integrity bad not beeen impeached.
The robbery is alleged to have oe
einvd on the morning of February I,
some time between midnight and /our

that the time lock on the Safe had

When the Jury went into theli' room
Wednesday afternoon .shortly after;
five o'clock, they evidently. Judging I
from their request afterwards, were di
vlded as to their opinion upon the facts
and some forty-five minutes later, they
requested Judge Townsend to let thorn
consult him. Judge Townsend return- ,
ed to the court room, and the foreman <
told him that tlFF jury were hopelessly
disagreed. The Court instructed the
Jury as to the importance of reaching
a verdict if they could conscientiously j
do so. and fbeu asked if they desired
any further testimony read. In ac
cordance with the request of the Jury,
under the instruction of the Court,!
Stenographer Anil read the testimony I
of Mr. Fellers, of Columbia, as to
where the automobile alleged to have
been owned by Brawley, one of the do
fondants, was found on the road .on

but the witness stated that ho went for.'
the car. and found that it was ncces j

deceased testified that Ire was with
I.oRo.v, and that when TTTey reached

from the tree," and "told LeRoy to
give him the money and he would give
him the cow," and that l.cltoy went to
give hi in some money, and that l.c
ltoy Faulkenberry handed young Gay
the money, and that l?eRoy reached
out ami started to get the chain" for
the cow, "and Howard wouldn't let
him have the cow." Proceeding, the
