JOHNSON WILL HANG.
(Continued from l-'irst Pago.)
see llenry Simmons, Johnson sent
for mo. Asked me what was most
damaging testimony against him.
Told nio how lie got the shot, that he
went behind counter at San ford and
put his hand in shot box.
The State here closed, and the cle
fondant's attorney Mr. Wait, stated
that the defendants would put up
no testimony.
The Solicitor went first in his ar
gument to the jury, lie handled the
case throughout with the skill which
he has gained through many years
of experience as a prosecuting otlicer.
He spoke in the best of terms
of the late Rev. II. 1). Grainger,
whose last duty was to speak words
of comfort over the grave of a poor
woman herself, the subject of a homicide.
He pictured the duty of the
bench and the jury. It was touch
itig when he told of how the preacher
died between the plow handles and
in the attitude of prayer. Going
over the threats that had been proved
and not denied he showed that
Johnson had a motive to kill Grainger.
Taking up the many eircum
stances injthe ease lie showed how
they made out a case against the de fendants.
The Solicitor made quite
a lengthy argument.
He was followed by U. W. Wait
IGscir for the defense. Iln stiitml in
the outset that the defendants were
guilty of the most atrocious crime
or entirely innocent, and went on to
show that where circumstances were
to be depended upon to convict them
each link in the chain must be considered.
Lie showed that the defendants
must have the benefit of
any reasonable doubt. The speaker
cited instances when persons charged
with crime had been convicted on
circumstantial evidence and afterwards
found to be innocent, lie
discussed the facts at length, and
drew different conclusions from the
circumstances.
11 is Honor then charged the jury
in a very able manner and they retired
to consider the case at about
8:30 p m.
The jury remained in the room all
night, on Saturday morning it was
announced that the jury had agreed
They filed into their places at about
(J o'clock.
The verdict was guilty as to Coin
mandcr Johnson and guilty with
recommendation to mercy as to
Charlotte Simmons.
The Judge was about to proceed to
have the indictment read preliminary
to sentence, when defendant's
attorney said he desired to make
nod ion V, v % -? "? * *

which ho would have ready by eleven
o'clock. The Judge refused to
give the time f<?r getting up the alii
davits, but let him call his witnesses
to examine in open court. (J F Mur
rell was called but not then sworn.
I). L. Ilewett was sworn and said he
was in court house all night. There
was considerable conversation over
cases in front of jury room. After
daylight he saw someone talking to
jury through window. Admitted he
saw Mr. Wait engaged in argument
in court room after jury retired. His
Honor then told the Solicitor he
need not ask the witness any other
questions. Defendants attorney then
argued for a new trial. The Solicitor
replied in the argument. The
Judge granted a new trial as to
Charlotte Simmons because the testimony
was not sufficient to fasten
j the crime on her, but refused a new
trial to Commander Johnson.
The Solicitor then read the indict
I :nent to Commander Johnson and
tasked if he had anything to say.
Commander Johnson replied that ho
had nothing to say except that he
was not guilty.
The Judge told him that he must
advise him to prepare to die. After
a solemn lecture to the condemned,
the .Judge, sentenced him to be Immr.
ed between the hours of twelve and
one o'clock ou the second Friday in
December next.
The accused here showed for the
first time some signs of break in#
down. During the trial he had
laughed and smiled at times as different
phases of the testimony were
brought out. fie did not seem to realize
his awful position until the sen
tencc was read, and then he did not
show as much feeling as the audience
thought he would.
The defendants were conducted
back to jail. Charlotte will have a
new trial next court.
