On Tuesday morning the trial
of Judge B. Reynolds, James
Reynolds and Roland Windham,
charged with the killing of Ce
phas Pipkin, was begun. The
defendants were represented by
Messers. Woods & Spain. It
seems that, on the evening of
the killing, the deceased and
the three defendants left town
together, Judge Reynolds and
Roland Windham in a buggy
in front and Pipkin and James
Reynolds following them. The
latter is a cripple, a sufferer
from rheumatism. When a few
miles from their home, in the
Lamar neighborhood, Judge
Reynolds said he heard h i s
brother, who was in the bu
behind with Pipkin, calling tor
help, saying that Pipkin was
killing him; that ho left Ro
Windham to hold the horses and
ran back to his brother’s assis
tance; that finding Pipkin on
top of his brother beating him,
he took up a piece of board
which happened to be at hand
and struck him on the bead
knocking him senseless, after
which they drove off, leaving
him in the road. Pipkin died
the following day from the ef
fects of the blow. The State
produced two colored men who
said that they were in the road
near where the fight occurred
that the two men in the front
buggy stopoed and got out, and
when they heard the other ve
hide approaching in the dis
tance, went back, one of them
saying, with an oath, “Ro
lahd, come on;” that they after
wards heard some one cry out
“For God’s sake, men, don’t
kill me!” and then heard a hea
vy lick strudk. The State pro
duced a large piece of board
with which the blow was said
to have been struck; also the
clothes which Pipkin had on at
the time, and which showed sev
eral rents made with a knife.
The jury retired with the case
on Wednesday afternoon, and
returned, after a short absence,
with a verdict of “not guilty.”
Evans Lightly, colored, was
convicted of assault and battery
with intent to kill. He conduc
ted his own case, and displayed
considerable skill as a cross-ex
aminer.
It is not likely that there will
be much civil business transac
ted at this term.
