The tngeidy in wliich Williams
>>ne of the prlncipaU occurred Sun
day afternoon. May 17, about 5 o’clock
at the Williams home on the Wakefield
farm east of the city. It was in evi
dence that during tlie greater part of
that day the defendant and his vic
tim had been companions arid during:
the early afternoon had made a trip
to the city in an automobile. The supr
Ijosition is that on this trip they got
their hands on Mine whiskey and af
ter they returned home, they went
.down to the little Store run by Wil
liams and drank some of the whis
key with coea-cola. In the store the j
trouble began. The two men tusseied |
freely and good-naturedly. There was j

Mr. Piunin^er Siewart made the
next address to the jury and it was
the lengthiest of them all. Mr. Stew
art spoke v-ith characteristic stress
:.r.Q delivered himself in no»half-utter
ances as ro the character and con
duct of Diilard Hooker, the deceased.
The concluding speech was made by
Solicitor Wilson who summarized evi-
lenc( and drew conclusions therefrom.
The State asked for a verdict of mur
der in the second degree >ind it was
10 this poiJiC that the solicitor lirst
addressed l.imself. The charge to the
jury was begun at ii o'clock and Judge
Shaw conf.un'.ed a little ]c:'a tiian an
hour,
Vi'illiums, the defeiuia..v, sat wtiL
his .eye copttaintly trained upon the
witnesses tiirough the two days of the
trial. His v.dfe and I'hiidren who have
I'emained at his side have received
very little attention from him. He
has borne himself wi^h eminent calm
ness, manifesting 00 siiporior amount
of interest int he proceedings one
waj of the other. He is a compara
tively small man, with thin fac*» rath
er crnaciated by confinement in prison,
and with a sandy misstache. His fea-
Tureb have remained uniformly norm
al during the entire two days. There
has not been the slightest evidence

will i urely kill his love ar.d respect for
