Johnson Enters
Guilty Plea
As Accessory
Judge A. R. Crisp today
sentenced James R. John
son to( life imprisonment for
the murder of Ed Davis,
farm overseer, after Johnson
entered a plea of guilty to
accessory before the fact of
murder in the first degree.
The shooting occurred August 7th
on a farm on which Johnson was
a tenant and Davis the overseer.
The shooting took place in a to
bacco barn.
Earlier Johnson had entered a
plea of innocent but after confer
ences last night With the family
of the dead man. Solicitor Jack
Hooka agreed to accept the plea
this morning. He was assisted in
the prosecution by attorney Willie
Lee Lumpkin of Louisburg.
Judge Crisp congratulated both
parties on entering the plea that
they did after hearing the facts
of the Case. The only straw that
the defehse had to cling* to, he
said, was that the gun might have
accidentally gone off.
“I hope,” the Judge told the de
fendant, “that you will try to
adjust yourself to * new way of
.life. You are very lucky not to be
sent to the lethal gas chamber. I
■ get no pleasure in Imposing a life
sentence, but make a goad prison
er and get something out at that
portion of life left to you.”
An eye-witness description of the
slaying was given by the first wit
ness, Mrs. E. C. Sidle, Louisville Ky.,
who said she was visiting in the
neighborhood and working in to
bacco at the time of the shooting.
She said she had kneam both
