presse Court.
(The State.)
Junlus Rogers, under sentence of1
death from Greenville County, was
given a new trial - by the supreme
court yesterday on the main ground
that a confession ls not admissible,
unless lt is voluntary and lt ls on the
State to show by burden of proof that
the confession was voluntary: "There
ls no presumption ot law that it waa
voluntary," aays the court .
Rogers was convicted of murder in
Greenville and sentenced to death by
electrocution. There wero threo con
fessions alleacd to have been made
by Rogers under arrest At his trial
the judge would not allow the first
two to be introduced, but admitted
tho third.
When the question arose of admit
ting the confession, thc jury was sent
ont of the court room and tho opin
ion sets out that utter tbe jury came
back no testlmouy was introduced to
show that the confusion was volun
tary, which fact, says the oort, was
a failure on the part of the State to
show cue confession was voluntary
and it was erroneously admitted. 'The
defendant was entitled to hava all
the testimony considered by the Jury,
upon which the presiding judge based
his ru Ung. as we have already shown
that tue jury must finally dotermlne
whether the confession was volun
tary." The decision was written by
Chief Justice Oary and concurred In
by tho other justices.
