(Continued from Page 1) seemed to have a nania for confessing his crime and many witness - were put up who testified thut Jiose had freely acknowledged to them his .^'uilt. I* tiller the ruling wf the court, however. tne.se alleged confessions were stricken from tit-- record. The attorneys appointed for tbt defense acquitted themselves of an i:uple;o:" ?!::r\ ve;y creditable indeeu, i u. w.? Inut 11; ' conscientiously felt it incumbent upon them to see that the negro got absolute justice. So well indeed did they comply with therequireinents of the law as officers of the court that they elicited :i handsome compliment from tin. presiding Judge for their high conception of their duty in fnl tilling the unpleasant obligation imposed upon them. In this connection it may not he amiss to explain that a prison charged with a capital offense cannot plead guilty under the law, nor can lie be leg-illy convicted unless represented by counsel at his trial. Instead of being criticised, therefore, for defending a criminal charged with an atrocious crime, as in this case, the attorneys appointed by the court who are guided by their conscientious convictions of right in conducting the defense are entitled to commendation, yet they are often censured l?v thoughtless critics. Messrs Kirk and Askins addressed the jurv on behalf of the defendant and made us good a showing as was possible in the circumstauces. Solicitor Stoll's impassioned speech drove home the damuing proof of guilt beyond the shadow of a reasonable doubt. The Judge's charge was strong, clear and practical, elucidating every point of law involved in the case so that the jury could have no excuse for rendering othei than an intelligent verdict. At 1:5 p ui, the jury retired tr their room and. seven minutes nuei announced that they had agreed upon their verdict. When Clerk of Court Britton pro nounoed the ouiiaous word "Guilty,the defendant sat unmoved and even when sentence ol death was passed upon him, hi scarcely changed expression. Before sentence was pronouncei Attorney Askins, in behalf of tin defense, made a motion for a nev trial on two grounds: First, thai the jurors at the noon recess wen mingling with the crowd on tin court house square: second, tha that the testimony was not snf ficieut to convict. These points were submitted without argument aiul were promptly ovei-ruleil by tin The G son.
