NV common knowledge in criminal court ^ circles ever since the defendant was ' given a preliminary hearing some time ago. p Montgomery was brought from the county jail where he has been cont'neh ever since be was arrested *ome time ago under the warrant. . C The State put up a number of wit- p nesses as follows: C C. M. Graham, a widower, testified n that defendant had married his old?st daughter and she would have been K thirty-three years old, but she died last year. At a certain point in his testimony the witness was about to p relate a confession made to him of \\ the crime by the defendant in the jail A quite recently. At this print at the b request of the defendant's attorney, the jury was excluded until the court p could hear the confession and decide q if the testimony was admissible. It j( took some time to argue this out. Af- p ter the arguments the court had the ^ stenographer read the testimony of confession given since the jury r 1. < T1 il-- i ' ucivi uccii .>cui uuu iiicu me court ?, held that the so-called confession was admissible as to the whole of it. r Mrs. Furnev Montgomery testified ?'? that a bench warrant had beejn sent after her. She evidently had a distaste for this case and all matters connected with it. She was an un- ( willing witness. She made answers I in a very indefinite way. Nollie Anderson testified for the State. * ~r~ , 7 1 Willie P. Herring was called and.' testified to the confession in the jail. I He agreed with what C. M. Graham f had said about the statements made ?' in the jail by the defendant. ^ Please Graham testified. Addic Holt testified as to some advice he had given Montgomery some time be- 1 fore. i O. D. Anderson testified to a con- t versation he had with the defendant. The talk was about his course of conduct. V. D. Johnson, rural policeman was called to testify. He arrested Daniel Montgomery at the home of his father. He told how defendant had tried to run out at the back door as another officer went in at the front door. That He had run into the witness' arms. He made him go back in the room where the warrant was read. Dr. H. I,. Scarborough was sworn for the State. r?
