Adams Trial In Progress
After Special Venire Chosen
Mrs. Luther Carringer, widow o t
Luther' Carringer, took the stand
Wednesday In the Cherokee County
Superior Court case charging Fred
Adams with Car-ringer's murder.
Carringer, 48, was killed by a
gun blast last Labor Day.
Mrs. Carringer testified her hus
band was seated at one end of the
front porch of their home Just be
fore the shooting.
The Carringer home and the
Adams home face each other a
cross the road in Brasstown.
She said Adams and her nephew,
Roy Hog an, were quarreling when
she heard Adams said "I'll get my
gun and fix you."
Mrs. Carringer said Adams ran
around the comer of his own home
and the next time she saw him he
was in his doorway. She demon
strated on the stand how he threw
his rifle up to his shoulder.
She said Hogan waked on an
angle toward the Carringer house.
She asserted that when Adams
said he would get his gun, her
husband, the victim, got up and
walked into the Carringer yard,
and toward the road between the
two houses.

Adams not to point the gun to
ward the (Carringer**) bouse.
The witness said she told Adams,
"Fred, don't shoot down this
way."

heard a shot and when she got
back to the door she saw her hus
band on his back in the yard.

the recess and cried . into his
arm. He kept his head down on
the table in front of him some
minutes after the trial continued.

the youth's asking Adams if he
had tried to run over Hogan ear
lier.
The boy told the court he had a
knife in his hand when he asked
Adams to come down to the road.
Adams was on the bank and he
was on the road, Hogan testified.

gued some 10 or 15 minutes.
' In answer to a question, the
youth said he could not tall whet
her or not Adams had been drink
ing. Hogan aaid Adama threw
down a shovel he was holding and
said "I'll get my gun and tlx you."

door with the gun, the witness said
Luther Carringer told him not to
point his gtm or shoot at the
house. The youth testified he wu
not certain If Carringer used the
word "shoot" or the word "point".
Hogan said he started walking
toward the Carringer house and a' 1
bush was between him and Adams
when Adams arrived at the door
with his rifle.

was fired Carringer told him,
"Boy, don't run. He wont
