TWO HESTERS FREED
hut her of lk?y* Muiit Serve Remainder
of Life in State Prison
Greenville, May 1U.?Guilty of muri?-r
with recommendation to the mercy
of the court we* the verdict returned
this morning In the case of
Jerrt Hester, while his sons, Charlie]
and ^(ttydc. tried along with him for
the murder of J. Ed Thackston, were
acquitted.
The jury returned its verdict
shortly after ten o'clock this morning
after being out all night. The sentence
automatically carries with it
,ife imprisonment for Jerry Hester.
This was the second trial of the
three Hesters all of the three having
been found guilty of murder, without
recommendation, at the trial more
Uian two years ago.
The father and two sons were given ;
a new trial and after several post- I
ponements the case was called last '
week, continuing for nearly a week.
The state offered twenty-eight witnesses
und the defense put eighteen
witnesses on the stand.
The- jt^ry took the case at 2;18
o'clock yeaterday afternoon.
The case has been hard fought
throijghout. An array of some of the
best legal talent in the state was represented
in the prosecution and defense.
Much interest has been manifested
in the case but there was no demonstration
when the verdict was announced.
Camden Attorney For Defense
Former Judge Mendel L. Smith of
this city was associated with two
other attorneys for the defense of the
Hesters, while eight members of the
Greenville bar were associated with
the prosecution. Judge Smith considers
this the greatest victory he has
ever won in his practice of law. He
has the reputation of never having
let one of his clients go to the electric
^chair. One South Carolina newspaper
has referred to the Camden attorney
as the "Harrow of the Southeast."
I'reached Last Sermon Here
Dr. J. B. Green of the Columbia
Theological Seminary, who has been
supplying the Camden Presbyterian
church as pastor until another could
be secured, preached his last sermon
here last Sunday. He used us his
theme. "Service," and preached a
powerful sermon.
Rev. McAarn, who was tendered a
cgill to this church has accepted and
will not arrive in Camden until the
middle of June, but the church will
be supplied with a preacher during
the intervening time.
To Attend Kxerciaen at Carolina
A number of Camden j>eople will
attend the exercises to be held at the
University of South Carolina in momory
of the Carolina boys who died
in France during: the World War.
The American legion Auxiliary is in
charge of the ceremonies which will
be held on May 30 at 6 p.m. Some
years ago the University planted
trees in irvemory of her sons who were
^killed or who died and now these
trees will each have a marker with
the name of the boy upon it. A large
boulder will also be unveiled as well
as the markers. This work is being
done by the state organization of the
American legion Auxiliary.
Banks To Close Next Friday
All of the banks of Camden will be
closed on Friday, June 3. that date
being observed by them as a holiday
in commemoration of the birthday of
Jefferson Davis.
