WILLIAMS TESTIFIES I HIS OWN BERALF Jasper County Farmer Tells Georgia Jury that He is Innocent of Murder of Eleven Negroes. Covington, Ga., April 7.-The fate ot\ John S. Williarms accused of the murder of I negro farm hands, will rest with a fury tomorrov. In even dispassionate tones the Jasper county planter, testifying in his own behalf, today declared his "absolute inno cence" of the charge of murder and when court adjourned late today the trial had been concluded except for the two closing arguments and the judge's charge. * Williavms will be either convicted of the murder of one of the men, for whose death he is specifically on trial or he will be acquitted, for attorneys on both sides argued this afternoon that there could be "no half way ver dicts" and the defendant himself told the jury in so many words that the killings were "murder." A verdict of murder might be accompaniled by a recommendation for mercy carrying life imprisonment. Clyde Manning. negro farmt boss for 14 years on the Williams place, whose confession implicated the plant er, was pointed to .by Williams as the man having a "probable motive" for the killings. Charles C. King, plead ing for Williams' acquittal, told the jury that Manning, ignorant of the penalty for peonage, had become alarmed at the federal investigation and that the evidence indicated he was the only person who had a motive for the killings. Mr. King asserted the defense ex Pteted to rely largely on Williams' "allhi" which, he said. Williams had established "as far as possible" 'hy describing how he was at honte the. night the three negroes were killed, and asserted the state had offered no legal corroboration of the testimony of a confessed acoomplice as required by law. Graham Wright, assistant attorney general ,pointed to certain testimony as corroboration and said the law left it to the jury to make final de cision on that question. lie termed Manning incapable of planning and carrying out the crimes, "under the eyes of Williams and his family," and named Williams as the guilty man. Manning also will be put on trial for the murders, it was announced today the time to be decided later, and his attorney, . Marvin Under wood, said he would not enter a plea of guilty. "Clyde Manning shall not escape," declared Solicitor General Brand in urging conviction of Williams. "I could not, under the law, permit him to es cape." Manning has testified for the state that by Williams' orders the negroes were weighted down with rocks and thrown alive into rivers or knocked in the head and buried where they full and Williams, taking the stand today, briefly recited all he said he newv of the deaths of Lindsey Peter son, Willic Preston and Harry Price, three dirowned the same night in New ton county. Hie is on trial for mur der of Peterson and lie did not go into the other eases, The de'fendant, accused by the state of "(heorgla's mlost atrocIous mur ders" has watched the proceedings calmly throughout the trial, even smiling once or twice and today he was as cool as any of the spectators who packed the court room almost to suffocation to hear his story. These were the first criminal charges of any kind ever filed against him, he declared, in his 54 years of life, and told, proudly it seemed, that his four grown sons were among the first to answer the country's call to war, lie admitted ho might have been technically guilty of pueonage as he had workedi negroes wino owed him money, Hie had so informed fed oral investigators when they first came to the farm, ho added, andl also had declared he always paid and fed the negroes, These agents replied that the negroes on his place were among th "best fed and clothed" they had seen, he declared, If he nwore technically guilty of peonago "miost Georgia farmers also were," he add ed "I am absolutely innoent," he told the jury in conclusion, as he reverted to the murder charge, Tlft' state had rested earlier in the day with introduction of RI'ena Man ning, wvife of Clyde Manning, and Sher!ff B. L- Johnson of Newton county, in an effort to corroborate parts of Mlannin-g's story. The woman testified the negroes left with WVil hlams, Manning and Charlie Chil holm, the nIght they were last seen alive, as Minning had declared, Sheriff Jlohnson said Manning idienti fled the three .bodies found in New ton county atnd later confessed and told where the others could he found, The negro's words wverb' borne out b~y investIgation the sherIff said. Williams was the only witness for the defense appearing on the stand unsworn, wvhich, under Georgia law, prevented cross-examination. The fact that no other defense testimor was itroduced -permitted William counsel to open and close. No lim was placed on the time of argumet and four attorneys spoke today. Mr. King opened for the defens followed in order by Mr. 1Wright f< the state, W. H. Key of Monticell. Ga., for the defense, and Solicit< General Brand for the state. W. A Howard, former congrehsman froi Georgia, will close for the prosect tion tomot-row, making the first ae dress of the day, and the Rnal ple will be made by Green F. Johnson < Monticello, chief counsel for the di fondant. About three hours are ex Ipected to be consumed tomorrow I argument. Charges were flung back and four, as the lawyers ,pleaded with the jur today. Mr. Key assorted It was "ur fair" to put Williams on trial so soo after arrest-only aboub two weeki he said and, referring to Assistan Attorney - General Wright sent by group of citizens, told the jury: "Tb state has decided that if they can nc convict by evidence they take the pc sition they will convict by lawyers." Solicitor Brand charged the oppos ing counsel "with playing to the gal lertes" and seekirng to Involve "rac prejudice" and declared the. murde of the negroes should be punished that under the law they had the sam protection as the w'hite man. He als asked why Williams never inquire into the #whereabouts of the 11 nc groes whose disappearance was mystery until their bodies wer found. GO NO FARTHER The Evidence Is at Your Doer. Laurens proof if what you want an the statement of this highly respecte resident will banish all doubt: J. W. Henderson, S. Ilatiper St., Lau rens, says: "My kidneys were badl disordered and I suffered from -pain in the small of my back, across in kidneys. I felt nervous and out c sorts, and my kidneys didn't act a they should. I would have dizzy spell and a dull ache in the back of my hea< There was a sediment in the secr< tions, too.
