According to Myers, Mrs
Hiwon Mid the three remain
ing inside the car lay down in
the vehicle when the gun battle
started between Chief Greene
and Greer.
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.
She was quoted as saying
that the foursome then- started
toward Lenoir. The car stopped
about a- mile or two down the

anything.
Mrs. Parsons also wss quoted
as saying she heard Chief
Greene tell Greer, "Don't shoot,
I'm out of bullets," after which
Greer stepped back and the pol
ice chief fired again.
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.
