WILLIAMS TRIAL
BEFORE JURY
Negro Woman Facing Man
slaughter Charge Result
Of Fracas Last April
Conflicting testimony of that
presented before the coroner’s
jury popped up yesterday in the
trial of Everlina Williams, 26,
Negress of McCumber Station, be
fore a jury in Superior Court.
The woman is facing trial on
a charge of manslaughter as the
result of a fracas last April 20 that
resulted three days later in the
death of 73-year-old Elgin Whit
field, Negro.
The state contends that the wom
an struck him over the head with
a hoe, fracturing his skull, the
evening of the day in question in
the rear yard of the Williams’
dwelling at McCumber Station.
The prosecution, directed by
Solocitor Clifton Moore, associat
ed with Aaron Goldberg and John
M. Walker, completed its case
during the afternoon after some
time had been spent in arguments
before the court in the matter of
conflicting testimony presented the
coroner’s jury and in the trial. i
Defense Attorney Wallace Mur
chison presented eight witnesses
and John Edge, Jr., 22-year-old
brother of the defendant. The
brother testified that he and his
sister went to a shack in the rear
of their home the night of April
20 when the defendant said she
had seen a man in the building.
The witness declared that the
man advanced on his sister with a
knife, that she tripped over a
board walk, then arose and picking
up a hoe, struck the man in self
defense.
Discrepancy in testimony de
veloped from Celie Mae Jones, 16,
Negress, state witness. Testimony
showed at one time before the
coroner’s jury, she had testified
that she was nearby at the time
of the alleged altercation and
heard the defendant exclaim that
she was going to kill Whitfield.
At another time before the
cc roner’s jury she had testified
records disclosed, that she did not
near such a statement.
Yesterday on the witness stand
she asserted she was “only kid
ding” when she made the remark.
The court allowed the prosecution
to cross-examine its own witness
following arguments between the
state and David Sinclair, a second
defense attorney.
't The defendant will take the stand
at 9:30 a. m., today. Attorney Sin
clair sard.
Deputy sheriffs testified they
spent the night of the alleged dis
turbance searching, without avail,
for the defendant. Dr. A. H. El
liott. city-county health physician,
testified that death of Whitfield
was the result of a brain injury.
A hoe and a knife were presented
as evidence.
