Black and the Greens made a desperate appeal Tuesday to Pa role Commissioner Edwin GUI at the state prison in Raleigh and Solicitor Jones granted the inter view recounted above after read ing the following account of the Lester Green was the first to make a statement. Judge Gill told him not to go into the old rlgamarole, but to tell Just what was the plan in the robbery of the bank. “My father and Stef- anoff were to go Into the bank and Black and I were to drive around it and parked near it, which we did,’’ he said. “Black was to stand in the door and I was to get the money or I was to stand in the door and he was to get the money. I don’t know which,’’ Lester Green said. “I was not armed and I did not think Black was. Stefanoff shot Mr. Fames and I saw my fath er shoot Mr. Little,” young Green said. He denied ever hav ing a gun or any purpose to shoot. Green said thjre never was a time when all four of them were present. "Mike Stefanoff engineered the whole thing,’’ he said. “Did you ever rob a bank be fore this?’’ Mr. Gill asked. Young Green said the question was very hard to answer. Judge Gill said it was very easy. The boy asked to be excused from answering, but his lawyer said he has made a statement in writ ing on that point and would sub mit it. He said the night preced ing the murder he drank heav ily and was about half drunk. The theory of the attorneys is that Stefanoff filled his pals with drink, but drank none h:m- self. Mr. Myatt Introduced the pe tition of 10 of the jurors renew ing their jury recommendation of mercy. The triers said they could not acquit Lester Green and were told that there could be no second degree in it. Judge Gill asked the lawyer if the jury predicated its recommendation on the youth and irresponsibility of Lester Green or on the fact that there was no evidence show ing Green to have had a gun. The law.ver thought easy per suasion by Green’s elders was the chief thought in the jury’s mind. Mr. Gill here introduced the letters of Solon Little, now cashier of the bank, in which he declared categorically, without the smallest equivocation, that Lester Green shot Mr. Barnes after Mike Stefanoff shot him. Mr. gill indicates that he would accept the statement cT Mr. Lit tle. Bascom Green came in. He looked too young to be the fath er of the boy who resem'oles him. The elder Green was very nerv ous. The women were weeping and the baby born during the trial of the Greens was making hit of ado. Mrs. Lester a imie .82 and only (our oar- trldses in it. 1 had-;no .rselwnce I against Stefanoff,^. He bad ' an automatic. ■\- Black ' was then brought in and the first thing that be did waa^ to reiterate that Lester Green bad a pistol. Stefanoff and both Greens were armed. “Lest er did not shoot, but he had a pistol,” Black said. Both Greens ‘and some of the women shook thoir beads. It was patent that there was -some feeling in Bas com Green’s testimony. All of them blame Black" for a ”weak ness that exposed them. Judge Gill asked Black, who testified that Stefanoff engineer ed the robbery and got the liquor, why ,if Black had no pur pose to hurt the bankm, he did not .help them when they were shot down. Black replied that he could not explain it. “I was scared too bad, I guess,’’ he re plied. There was a petition from the Methodist Protestant church members in behalf of Black. The High Point neighbors said he was a good man, a communicant of their church and had been a good man. Mr. Fisher said Mrs. Barnes, widow of the slain bank er, is kindly disposed toward Black. She has not recommend ed clemency. Judge Warlick also has failed to do so and Solicitor J. R. Jones is opposed to any commutation for any of them. .sweet course.
