The whole case seemed to c-nter
aitut the fact that Taylor and his
family woul 1 not work and McMa
ne- waived 'O -t rid of them. There
wer several witnesses for both the
defense tnd prosecution. Among them
wa Bennio Taylor, son of Chapman
Taylor. He told a slightly mixed story
on the st i; i chi-idug that he was
2t'0 yards ; .. i'oni the assault
which woul i be chont 275 feet, he
said. Mrs. M. M. Howie, a witness
for the sa'c. 'o'.d il she knew about
it. Sho said t'-i.t McManess came to
her and told ii.r that he wanted to
drop th-? caie. Mr. McManess laughed
at that whereupon Mrs. Howie said.
"Yes you did." Mrs. MeManess's two
little nieces fiom Charlotte. N. C..
were visi'ing her and they told a
simple straightforward story and did
not become rattled under cross ex
amination. The evidence showed that on June
12th. Mr. and Mrs. McManess met
Sallie Chapman in the field and that
Mr. McManess held her while Mrs.
McManess heat her with a stick.
There wei several bruises on Miss
Chapman. Messrs. Brooks, Limerick
ar.l Love made speeches to the Jury
for the s'ate and Messrs. Vann and
Sikes. counsel for the defense, ar
gued t'.ie.r cases. Mr. Limorick in his
speech said that this was just one
instance whure money and influence
woujd cover up crime committed ou
theVoor and Ignorant. He asked th9
jury to return a verdict of guilty.
Mr. JoVi :':. s pleaded with the Jr.ry
to believe the testimony of the two
small children who testified for the
state. He said they told a straight
story and were too innocent to He If
they knew now. Mr. Van reviewed
the evidence in the case and stated
to the jury that the burden of proof
rvsted on the strte and that ihev hid
no' proved beyond the least doubt
that they were guilty of assault.
Judge Lemtnond fined Mr. McManess
$lo and costs and Judgment was sus
pended in the case of his wife upon
payment of costs.
