Defending them were Attorneys Everette L. Doffermyre. Neill McK. Salmon. City Attorney I. R. Wil liams and Glenn Hcoper. Jr. Representing the State as pri vate prosecutors were: Duncan C. Wilson. State Senator J. Robert Young and Archie Taylor. Appearance of the officers in badge and uniform and wearing a gun brought civicism from the State’s attorneys and one of th» defense attorneys said he'd never seen it happen before. Magistrate Adams said later that he had fail ed to see the guns and badges on the officers. The officers sat unemotionally throughout most of the trial even when Attorney Duncan C. Wilson made an impassioned plea against them. “Because a man has get a aurs and a badge," Wilson said, that doesn’t make him any different from anybody else . . . Give some M ■ .

TOOK TURNS According to the testimony, the ; officers took turns in beating Lewis I with a blackjack, threw him on the ground with his face on the dirt, with one of them choking him. his knee pressing against his neck while the other twisted his foot j and leg. No evidence was offered that Lewis had committed any crime or that he- resisted In pleading for the intent to kill j charge to be dismissed. Defense' Attorney Salmon told the court: j “According to this evidence, these officers unlawfully assaulted a man. j There isn’t any evidence that any- j one violated the law: there is no evidence that they put him under arrest. There is some evidence of serious injury, but little, but there i is no evidence of intend to kill or of am* nrior trouble between them.” FOLK WITNESSES HEARD Four witnesses offered by the 1 State were: Lewis: Perry Rewis. a neighbor: Mrs. Bertha Jackson, who was visiting across the street at the time and s’W the incident: and Mrs. Ralph Godwin, a sister , of Lewis. ! Attornevs said they had eight or ten other witnesses, but were saving then', for Superior Court. Police Sergeant Corbv Wood, sid ing with the accused policemen, told reporters after the hearing: "You’ve just heard one side of it. You’ll get the other side when the case gets to Superior Court.” Lewis, still on crutches and with his broken leg in a cast, was the first witness. ADMITS RECORD He beaan his testimony by read ily admitting that he had been in trouble four or five times for public drunkenness and twice for resisting arrest. Attorney Wilson told the court that he was bring ing his record out to show that. “Even if he were the meanest man in the world, he doesn't deserve any such treatment as that given him by these two officers." Lewis related that on the night of August 17th he spent an hour visiting Mr. and Mrs. Perry Rewis. went back home and then went j out again and started to see a Mr. Hairre on business. He said he , ran into Stone, who was sitting i in the police car and Stone asked I him. “Where you going?" He said { he told the officer and then the officer shot back at him an accus ) ation that he was drunk. “BEAT YOUR HEAD OFF" I Lewis said that when he tried Tek j explain to the officer that he wa c not drunk. Stone said: "Yeah, well t j don't hand me that stuff. If I say ] vou’re drunk/ you’re drunk .....! i i’ll get out of here and beat your , I head off.” I “He just went mad,” (recalled j j Lewis, expressing belief that Stone 1 meant to kill him. He said the of -1 ficer hit him and knocked him j off balance. After a short struggle he related, “the officers let him stand up. “He seemed to realize.” related i Lewis, “that I was all right and i not drunk.” He said that about | that time Hall rushed up from behind and struck Lewis. ! He said he didn’t: say a word to ! Hall, that the officer just rush“d 1 I up and slapped him hard as he could. | In the ensuing moments, the i witness related, the two officers j took turns in beating on him. He ' said they hit him so hard that ' he became groggy. ! Lewis said he was still on pass ; from the hospital. I “Are you willing to swear.” ask ed Salmon, “that at the time they i struck you if Mr. Hall and Mr. I Stone had intentions to kill you?” S ! He said that was what he meant. 1 SAYS LEWIS NOT DRUNK Ne>jt witness was Pjwis. who j swore that Lewis was in good con j dition and not intoxicated at the time he visited in his home, about I a half hour before the alleged as i sault. The attorneys argued Lewis [could not have gotten drunk in ! that length of time. i Most damaging witness offered I was Mrs. Bertha Jackson, who was i visiting at the home of Mrs. Cor i tez Lee at the time and saw the | scrap. She said she was first at tracted to it when she heard Lewis protesting. “What do you want me for. I haven’t done anything.” ! She said she saw Lewis trying Ito break away, with the officers hitting at him and knocked him | down. , The woman swore that Hall had I him down with his face in the dirt with his knee pushing against his I neck and head. She said Stone was ! busy twisting his foot and leg at ' the time. j She quoted Hall as saving. “Can’t i you do nothing. Stone?” and that ; Hall then gave Lewis a hard blow ! | with the blackjack and twisted his j foot. Mrs. Jackson recalled that ' somebody told Hall. “You like to 5 have killed him” and that Hall re- j olied. “We ought to have killed | him.” \ Mrs. Ralph Godwin, sist.gr cf [ J Lewis, took the stand and corro ' borat»d Mrs. Jackson She Dns'tiv- ! ely identified both Hall and Stone j and swore that Hall choked her ; brother while Stone twiyted his [ ankle. “It looked like thev were trying to beat him to death.” said Mrs Godwin. She said ,'he reminded Stone I that her 82-vear-cld mother wa« lying in'ide the house critica”v IP ! and that Hall shot back. "Yeah IT know it.” HANDCUFFED IN JAIL Lewis had testified that the no-j lice threw him in jail with the ] ! handcuffs on. 1 vv'th his head in | j terrible pain, with blood running | ■ down his back and with his foot j , and ankle swollen big as a basket j j He said he repeatedly ■ for medical aid. but police refused to summon a doctor. He said that : he took his two hands, still hand j cuffed, and kept using toilet tissue , ito wipe off the blood as best he could. I Lewis raid the police officers never did uncuff him. but that ' after about three hours Policeman : Faison Pone passed a key to an other prisoner in the jail so he i ; could remove the handcuffs.

CL Hottest Summer 1 Officially Over I By UNITED PRESS A lingering cold front gained i force and pushed as far South as | Florida as the summer-one of the hottest in history—came to an of fi ! cial close. Autumn began at 9:24 p. m. EST yesterday as the sun reached the autumnal equinox and passed the Equator on its journey southward. s> A cold air mass that has cover- , l ed most of the country east of the I ) Rockies for eight days sweep furth ! er south. cooling off even the Deep South and thp Gulf states. The Canadian cool air was felt I everywhere from the western slopes of the Rockies to the Atlan- : ! tic Coast-exc.ept Southern Florida j where pleasure-seekers could still, get a tan in comfort. Over most of the country the weather was crisp, and often ; cloudy. But it was not cold enough fo’- a free'’? or a hard frost. The Northern Great Lakes region oould expect high temperatures in ; the 50s and the Chicago area was j not expected to become warmer than the middle 60s. I SUB-DISTRICT.' TO MEET [ The Dunn Sub-District of Meth- i odist Youth Fellowship will meet next Mondav night. September 29 at 7:15 at Black’s Chapel Method ist Church, located on hitfiway I 201. eight miles south of Dunn. The Rev. S. G. Dodson Jr., coun- I selor of the Dunn Sub-District, ur- | ges a large attendance at the | meeting of Methodist young people. J show him the courtesy of sending ' him a mop bucket full of water. "But,” reminded Attorney Wilson, “a bucketful of water won’t help a broken leg.” The l-g was broken. Lewis had testified, when they shoved him in the police car,: slammed the door j on his leg and then pushed on it. In his argument. Senator Younc told the court. “If thev (Hall and Stone) didn’t know better than to lock up a man weaving handcuffs they're not fit to be an officer." Wilson a-sued to the court that the two officers had brutallv beat en Lewis, threw h’m in iail whi’e he was “bleeding like a stuck horn” with his leg broken arid handcuff ed. and didn't show any concern over whether he lived or died. “If they didn't have some fueling against him." argued the attorney "did they have to use such force?” j Attorney Salmon, who made the only argument for the defense ; j pointed out that the officers were I not guilty of any intent to kill. He also made a plea for law en- | , forcement officers and pointed out that if warrants were sworn out | every time an officer used a black jack in self defense that pretty! ; soon it would be impossible to hire men to accept law enforcement I jobs. [ Attorney Doffermyre offered to ! submit the case without argument. 1 He said there was probable cause for assault with a deadly weapon but nothing else. Magistrate Adams set the bond at S2OO apiece, for their appearance at the November criminal term of Harnett Superior Court. ft c A l/C w*9 SO/ THRumnwArs 1 j/tre TO /0 LOW, low FARISI lala ..
