son say the shooting: was done with!
his gun. He said he did not do the
shooting himself. He said the man
who did the shooting went to Gibson's
house with Gibson's gun, but he
did lot know how Robert Grainger
got .old of the gun. The State rested
its case here and the defendant
moved for a nonsuit. This was refused.
Emory Hays was sworn by the defense.
He said that on the night of
the shooting he was in Mrs. Home's
/jdining room and Jim Gibson was in
lythere also. Alton Thelma Home, Ossie
Home, were all there. He heard
the shots which hit Bailey, therefore
it could not have been Gibson who did
the shooting. On cross examination
he admitted he had been prosecuted
for shooting a woman's house at last
term of court. He said that he was
with Gibson at Mrs. Home's when the
shooting was done. After the shooting
he heard a bell ringing. He alio
said that Robert Grainger had come
to the Home home before the shooting
and left about ten minutes before
the shooting. He said he left
Jim Gibson at Mrs. Home's. Asked
his reason for not going to see about
the shooting, he said he was afraid
Bailey had shot his wife.
O^sie Home testified that when L.
B. Bailey was shot Gibson was at. the
Home home. Robert Grainger had
been there shortly before the shooting.
This witness testified positively
that Gibson did not shoot Bailey.
Allard Home testified that he heard
the gun shots; that Gibson was then
in the dining room at the home of witness;
all were eating supper. Robert
Grainger was at the house, but if he
was there when the gun shot, wit'
r.ess did not see him. Bailey's house
4 was about half a mile from the Home
r place. Gibson's house was nearby.
'Grainger, brother-in-law to Ossie
Home, testified that he heard the gun
shoot He was about 40 yards from
the Home gate and saw Jim Gibson
come out at the Home gate. Witness
is a brother of Robert Grainger.
Robert was there that night when
witness saw Robert he was coming
down from upstairs.
U. N. D. Paul was the next witness!
* He was here on Tuesday morning of
last court and heard L. B. Bailey say
that they had arrested Robert Grainier
and they had the man who had
shot him, Bailey.
Jim Gibson, defendant, said he is

way on the day of the night when the
d?v shooting was done. He wears a six
or six and a half shoe. He swore he
did not shoot Bailey. He was here
last court and came one day with Vol
Rowell. He came with Boyd Ford
at the March term, he stated, after
he thought about it. He said that
Robert Grainger had said he would
shoot Bailey, making this remark at
the table before he left. Soon after
he left the shooting was heard and
then a bell began to ring. Robert
Grainger came to the kitchen steps
i nd took off his shoes, then went upstairs
and tried to get Joe Grainger
? and some of the others to go with
F&im, but none would go. He, GrainJfcW,
went back in the rear and came
in with his, Gibson's, gun and witness
refused to have it when offered
to him. Grajnger then carried this
gun to his, Gibson's, house and put
it up there and looked in the trunk
for some shells; that he had lost one
of the shells on the route. He admitted
that he had been indicted by
Bailey for shooting1 at the September
term of col f He denied that Grainger
wore his shoes on the shooting
trip. He saw Grainger put the gun
behind the door. The dogs barked
at a bed in his house. He had slept
in his house that night but slept on
the floor. He does not know where
Robert Grainger is now. He claimed
to have told all this to the solicitor
at the last term of court when he
was under arrest but the attorney denied
that Gibson had told it exactly
that way.
This closed the case for the defense.
There was no reply. The case was
argued.
The jury found the defendant guilty
of assault and battery of a high
and aggravated nature and recommended
him to the mercy of the
court. His sentence was six months
or $800.00, suspended in payment of
<50.00 pending good behavior.

NEGROHAD IT
BUT IS CLEAR
/
The whiskey case against Joe Gore
was tried on Thursday of court week.
He is a negro. He contested his
case.
D. Frank Bellamy, rural policeman,
told of searching Joe's premises, finding
in his barn a barrel containing
ten gallons of wine. Joe told him
that it was intended for one gallon
only and he thought he was allowed
that much. He also found jugs and
bottles, a quantity of sugar, a spoon
and a wine glass. He tasted thej
fluid and it tasted like wine.
On cross examination he denied!

found only five gallons. He used a
bucket* in measuring the concoction.
There was a lot of grape hulls, he
stated, and Joe had said to hiin that
he had put in two and a half gallons
of water and his wife had put
in that much more. Joe had grape
vines on the place.
Norman Cooper said he was with
the policeman when the searching was
done. He said Joe admitted having
the wine. He saw it measured and
there was from seven to ten gallons.
It was good wine. Witness had taken
two glasses the day before. He had
failed to get as much as he wanted
of it. It was not as strong as it was
the day before. He had inquired at
the negro's house for wine on the day
before, because he saw he had a good
looking grape vine and thought from
that fact that he must have some
wine.
Sidney Gore helped make the raid
and drank some of the wine. It was
pretty good wine according to this
witness.
The defense moved for a directed
erdict on the ground that the State
had failed to prove the wine contained
more than one per cent alcohol.
This was overruled. It was held that

the State could show that the wine
was intoxicating:.
The defense put up no testimony.
The arguments were short but not so
sweet, because they dealt in the explanation
of the laws whereby a man
is allowed to keep a little wine, not
for his stomach's sake, but for personal
or medicinal uses. You can get
on? gallon through the Probate Judge
or you can make annually from your
own grapes as much as five gallons
for good purposes as stated in the
State prohibition law.
At this point the defendant renewed
his motion for a directed verdict
on the ground that the State had not
proved that this wine was not on

The court again denied this motion.
The defense argued that it must
have heen a weak solution that had
been so much liked by the raiders as
writer had been added to it as shown
by the testimony. He also argued
that the wine must contain more than
a one per cent alcohol content. The
point was stressed that Joe had not
sold any of this wine. No sale had I
been proved. None of the witnesses!
