Sheriff Myer* said Mia. Hin son said that at ne time she saw Greene holding a pistol In both hands, and that she knew then that he had been wounded. Mrs. Hinson allegedly said that finally she saw Chief Greene and Greer wrestling in front of the car in which she crouched. She also was quoted as saying that at one point Par sons came to the car and arked for shotgun shells and that shells were handed him from the glove compartment of the car. Myers said Mrs. Hinson told Him she saw Parsons standing over the police officer holding the shotgun by the barrel and that he was in the process of swinging the weapon, but that she crouched down again, not wanting to see what happened.

Attorney Crisp said following the completion of testimony that the evidence was rather slim against Carl Parsons and Miliioent Hinson and argued that their mere presence did not make them guilty of aiding and abetting in the crime. Attorney Seila made a plea for bond, saying the evidence presented had failed to show that a capital crime had been committeed, and that, therefore, the accused were entitled to bail. Justice Goble then found probable cause against all four of the accused and ordered that they be held in jail without bond for trial in Superior Court, February 25.
