Little's testimony came during
Mitchell's trial, which began on
[ Monday. The jury of seven men
and five women - including three
I blacks ? was not in the cour;
trbom when Little testified.
[Mitchell, dressed in a yellow
1 shjrt and pants, smiled when Little
was testifying.
jjeiense attorneys had made a
motion Tuesday to have Ford
brought to the Forsyth County
Sviperior Court so he could
teitify. #
Rousseau criticized the defense
for not bringing the information
to: the court's attention sooner.
"This is coming right out of the
blue," he said. t
Assistant District /Attorney
CjC. Walker said Little was attempting
to disrupt the trial.
VYou have learned enough law
to^know better than to come up
here in the middle of a trial and
try to disrupt it," Walker said to
Little, an organizer of the Darryl
Hunt Defense Committee who
was subpoenaed to testify.

comment," said Little, a secondyear
law student at Wake Forest
University.
little, who said he has known
F6rd for 15 years, also said he
had told police Detective Otis
Bolton what Ford had said.
jBut Belton later denied on the
witness stand that Little told him
of Ford's calls.
Ford said he had told Wilson's
stgpson that he saw the incident
bOt did not want to get involved,
Little said.
. "The stepson contacted the
police department and told officers
"that you ought to make
hifn talk," Little said.

told the defense attorneys
because he wanted to verify
Ford's statements first.
"I remember what I went
through with Mr. Tisdale during
the Deborah Sykes trial,'' Little
said, referring to the fact that he
had been accused by the prosecution
of intimidating witnesses and
misrepresenting himself as a
lawyer during that 1985 trial.
"My name was called as much as
the defendant's name was. 1 was
a little gun-shy to come forward
with the information."
Hunt, the defendant in that
case, is serving a life sentence in
prison after he was convicted in
June 1985 of the murder of Mrs.
Sykes, a newspaper copy editor.
Little has raised $30,000 to
help pay for Hunt's appeal.
Hunt's attorney, James E.
Ferguson of Charlotte, hired
private investigator Les Burns to
go to the Columbia prison and in
tcrview Ford.
Burns presented a three-page
statement from Ford about the
murder that Rousseau ordered
sealed.
Local attorney Bannister R.
Browder Jr. testified Wednesday
that he represented Ford in October
1983 when Ford was charged
with larceny.
Ford said he told two police officers
that he witnessed the
murder of Wilson, Browder said.
Ford said two brothers were involved
but he did not know their
names, Browder said.
When police learned of Ford's
knowledge of the crime, they
reportedly offered to drop the
charges against him if he would
give them the information about
Wilson's death, Browder said.

he saw three men attacking
Wilson on Sept. 17, but he didn't
recognize any of them. "1 didn't
