GIVI TO JURY
WHITE TRIAL CLOSING
JUDGE'S CHARGE THIS AFTERNOON
The Closing Argument for the State by
Col. Glenn,
The White trial will go to the
jury today. It has been conducted
with perfect order and until coun
sel began to argue it, its progress
had been phenomenal. Judge
Cooke announced that he would
not ask attorneys to cut short their
speeches, and the importance of
the case is truly attested by the
time that counsel have consumed.
For a while it had been thought
that the speeches would be short,
that long ones were not a necessi
ty. But as the trial progressed it
was seen that every effort would
be directed to the conviction of the
men under indictment and the
defense taxed its ingenuity to the
utmost to meet the new phases of
the prosecution.
The history of this case is well
known toall. It gained through
the Associated Press, large circu
lation and national prominence.
From the newspaper standpoint it
deserved it. Here was Russell
Sherrill, a young man belonging to
a family representing the fl rwer of
fine womanhood and manhood, a
handsome young fellow of fine
manners and with a reputation for
gallantry. He was admired by his
girl friends, and he had many.
Here were his slayers, who proved
blameless characters by a host of
witnesses, men with every demean
or of gentlemen, handsome and in
telligent, men who married promi
nently and who were backed in
their act of violence by the wealth
jest of our sister cPy, Concoil.
And there, too, was the girl whose
reputation had been good, who was
of honest report in her neighbor
hood. She swore that she bore the
disgrace that belonged to young
Sherrill, and in consequence of
that testimony, the Whites waited
upon the young man with the re
sult that several families are today
in mourning and the details of this
&p''’«hle tragedy are opened to a
prying, prurient, pitiless world.
And the merits of this cas«, this
trial has been set to investigate.
An unusual ceremony it has been
all the way through. As the play-,
ers in this tragedy have all been
persons of prominence, so in the
uniqueness of things all the wit
nesses to it have been of good
character.
It is the first great .trial held
here in years, in which it did not ap
pear that some one was prompted
to swear away his fellow mortals
life or another suborned to save
him from well merited punishment.
But there has been nothing of this
and the witnesses on both sides
have often been called upon to say
words of good testimony to the
others and they have done it. It
is almost an unheard thing to have
a trial in which there is no attack
upon a witness, and if there is one
circumstance more than another,
that has conspired to give it Bur
pring interest, that one thing is
the character and the prominence
of everybody party to this action.
A resume of the arguments
made by the counsel was promised
Monday. Reference to Mr. Clem
ent’s speech was made yesterday.
He was followed by Judge Mont
gomery who Bin the beginning
outlined the defense. Hesaid: “I
have not teen a frequent visitor to
your town. You have such an
able array of talent that no lawyer
can come in here and make a
their having prepared themselves
for trouble by being armed. On
such a mission as this, it would
have been foolish to go without
being armed. “They did not con
sult me as to what they should do,
I should have told them to do as
they did, and they did as all the
rest of you would have done.”
During Judge Montgomery’s
plea, which had the virtues of elo
quence and brevity, the defendant
Chalmers White was so overcome
with emotion that he wept audibly
and his brother Thomas White
gently touched him as if to cheer
him. It is regrettable that this
reporter’s duties called him away
from the court room and the
speeches of Judge Montgomery,
Senator Overman, Solicitor Ham
mer and Mr. Linn were hoard at
such infrequent intervals
preclude the possibility of
a fair synopsis of the
speeches in this trial,
Senator Overman made a
as to
giving
great
splen-
did presentation of his side. He
pointed out the danger to the home
life if there is a lessening of the
moral ideal. “Let it be known
that the man who is faithless under
promise of marriage, must die,
and men will be afraid to seduce
women. Our forefathers loved the
home, loved their women and the
seducer always paid the death
penalty. True Southern men are
ever ready to rush to the defense
of their women.
We have heard a great deal said
about the sorrow in the Sherrill
home. There is sorrow there, but
it is one that in the wisdom of
Nature will wear away. Soon the
habiliments of woe will be laid
aside, the world will be again
beautiful. I would that I might
son, and if ever he violates the
pure, curly headed maiden who
grew up by his side, then I say let
him die. That is the doctrine 1
preach.
Ressell Sherrill, you are dead
but you are on trial.
Annie White is already con-
denmed. Is there anything against
the character of this poor girl ?
Dead Russell Sherrill said not.
He did make the plea of every
violator of womanhood, that he
was not her only visitor in impuri
ty. He did say that he would fit
it all right, but wouldn’t marry
her. A man who steals a pig will
do this, and it is an admission that
he stole the pig, and so he ad
mitted his part in Annie White’s
shame, nor has this been denied.
Was Annie White a girl of bad
character ? Russell Sherrill says
not, for he carried her in his buggy
to social gatherings, took her to
the house of God, brought her to
his home and played with her
around game boards. Prof. Clegg
visited her, Mrs. Sherrill visited
her. No man who knows a woman
to be an improper associate for
his family is going to allow that
person to come in bis family.
Russell Sherrill knew that he had
gained this poor girl’s confidence,
and he knew that he alone had it.
Did they wish to kill him ? No,
they did not, had they done so in
the cover of da knees as they drove
by Sherrill’s home they could have
killed him and escaped. Every
circumstance shows that they did
not. Russell Sherrill was the only
man who could eave the girl’s
shame. But when he died, oh the
pity of it! Annie White died. For
her now there is not the glad
recognition of her former friends.
naked villainy with old odds and
ends, stolen forth from Holy Writ,
and thus I seem a saint when I
most play the devil.’ And with a
quotation from the sermon on the
mount, Mr. Watson close 1 the
most marvelous speech ever made
here in defense of a fellow mortal.
There was hardly any e ^ech

living. But 1 have called here to
restore that dead boy to hiB,She cannot associate with her
mother.
But there is sorrow in more
than one home. Here is another
woman whose neighbors will no
longer associate with her. They
will never visit her again, and one
man has withdrawn from the
church because -ne, who was in no
wise to blame, belonged to it.
It was a dangerous mission upon
which these men embarked and
they would have been foolish not
to be armed. They simply asked
this young man to marry the girl
he had wronged and thus save a
half dozen homes. Every part of
their testimony shows that they
meant no harm. But when young
Sherrill declared he would die be
fore marrying this girl, there was
danger and these defendants knew
it. That he was armed there was
every reason to believe, since any
ungrotected man would have been
foolish to charge upon another
armed. Asking the jury to re
member the courage of other
juries who had passed upon these
questions,Mr. Overman concluded-
his beautiful speech with Portia’s
homily on “Mercy” in Shakes
peare’s Merchant of Venice.
Mr. Watson closed the argument
for the defense. He began by say
ing he welcomed the close of the
trial. “In all my experience of 35
years at the bar, I have never seen
a prosecution in which counsel did
not forget themselves in their zeal
for their fellow man’s blood. I
have examined the witnesses for
the state tenderly, and no man can
say I have been cruel. Have 1
taken advantage of my long expe
rience at the bar and my training
in argument, to crush a man who.
is less able to contend with me?
If I have, charge it up to the de
fense. I have tried cases in which
technicalities of the law are invok
ed, but have never done this where
the issues of life and death are in
volved.
These men live unless you kill
them, they will have liberty unless
you deprive them of it.
The counsel have made much of
the fact that the defendants carried
concealed weapons. They are not
child acquaintances. Outlawed as
a moral leper, she is avoided. A
seduced woman is the ruin of a
household unless the man comes
and takes her away. As society is
constituted, a man who falls in
shame is allowed to live kud 61
forgotten, but the woman is lost.
To all men who are inclined to such
vice I beg you to read Hawthorne’s
Scarlet Letter and Tolstoi’s “Re
surrection.” There is no hope in
a court for a seduced woman, and
Annie White living is today in a
worse condition than Russell Sher
rill dead. Death is a sting that
kind Nature and wise Time give
a balm. But all the years of this
girl’s life she will ba scorned as
the abandoned woman.
His honor will charge you that
seduction is no justification for
killing a man. But I have shown
that the defendants had no desire
to kill Sherrill, and up to the time
they reached the Sherrill home
there was no conspiracy nor desire
for death. When the boys had in
formed themselves they went to
this young man’s heme and asked
him to right a wrong. By the
testimony of several witnesses it
is shown that he refused. An
altercation was precipitated and
ended in the young man’s death.
That he was infuriated is testified
to by three witnesses and in the
tained in Mr. Linn’s address. It
was a fearful arraignment of the
men and he pronounced their ac
tion as foully and cowardly murd
erous. Once when he referred to
Thomas White as a “brute,” Judge
Cooke asked him to retract it,
which he did gracefully and with
apology to all. The leading phase
of Mr. Linn’s speech was excel
lent.
Solicitor Hammel’s dissertation
on the law was a fine thought. He
dwelt upon the cheapness of human
life. “What are houses, farm-?,
lands and goods compared to b.-
man life? There is nothing in
lightning, tempest or fl rod, so ap
palling as the bloody shroud. The
blood of Abel calls to ns from the
ground. Are not our courts in a
measure responsible for this state
of affairs.” Solicitor Hammer -ar
gued that men should regard the
slayer of his fellow man as a felon
and that the man who takes human
life, something that he cannot re
place, should be the worst of crim
inals.
He told of Henry Watterson’s-;
asking a man if he had not been in (

that he had, but it was only for]

just for killing a man. It was this
tendency to disregard the sacred-
ness ■ f human life that he wished
to discourage above all things, and
the proper way to redress all
wrongs through the law.

men killed Russell Sherrill. I lay
it down as an undeniable proposi
tion that both men could not have
done it, and if there is a doubt in
the mind of the jury who did it,
they should be acquitted.”
After thus addressing the court
Judge Montgomery turned his at
tention to the jury and argued the
sentimental and legal aspect of
the case. He said the men had
been subjected to such furious
cross examinations on account of

would undertake such a dangerous
mission. I have always doubted
the wisdom of the Statute against
carrying concealed weapons. It
gives the outlaw every advantage
and places the law abiding man at
hii mercy.
It has beon argued that there is a
law on the statute books against
seduction. I was in the legislature
if 1883 when this question came
up. I helped defeat this law which
later passed. I did not want it to
go out that here in the State of
North Carolina, the home of South

undignified way in which counsel
took advantage of poor Thomas
White’s deafness. I have thought
today that this affliction was a
blessing to him, when he was ex
empted from the merciless words
of those seeking to deprive him of
his liberty and life.
There is one thing that I cannot
understand, and that is why Dr.
Brown, introduced by the State to
show the nature of the wounds
should not have told which one
caused death. I ask his honor to
charge you that both wounds could
not kill and if there is doubt about
it there can be no conviction.
Mr. Watson warned the jury
that his was the last words for
the defendants.
“I ask you to remember the
evidence and not the eloquent
words of Mr. Glenn to follow. He
will quote scripture and call often
upon the Lord. I hope he won’t
fall into Hammer’s error of bring
ing old Noah from his grave and
make him stand at Sinai. Lawyers
should be careful and for that
reason I shy at scripture. When
I hear men quote scripture to kill
their fellow men, for such it is, I
think of that part in Richard III,
where ‘I sigh and with a piece of
scripture, tell her that we must do
good for evil and thus I clothe my
left this phase of it and it was an
ingenious device. Council for the
prosecution praised it as a great
speech. The close of it, words
lost to the world, was a bed of
flowers.
And this brings the reporter to
the visiting great lawyers. Out of
courtesy we have subordinated out-
great lawyers to the strangers
within our gates.
When Mr. Glenn arose to con
clude the argument,the court room
was crowded, interest had reached
an intense degree.
Mr. Watson’s powerful, beauti
ful plea, had made a profound im
pression, and frequent allusions to
the methods of the prosecution
had left no doubt as to their per
sonal application.
Mr. Glenn was ready and eager
for the floor and he began with a
quiet interrogation about the cause
for the jurors, the public, the
friends of all being there. In pas
sionate words he rehearsed the
cause as given by the witnesses to
the action. And it was because of
that tragedy that he is here.
Replying to the charge that he
is pitiless, he said, if this evidence
has not satisfied you that these
men are guilty, then in the name
of the law of my State, turn them
out.
There are the first and second
degrees of murder, manslaughter
and excusable homicide. The
counsel for the defense had de
clared that the prosecution would
compromise on the degrees of
murder, hoping to get a verdict of
murder in the second degree, or
manslaughter. I stand here and in
the name of this great State,declare
that this was murder, damnable
murder.
I have hung my head in shame
to hear a man elevated to the Uni
ted States Senatorship, a Cong
ressman, an ex judge of the Su
perior court and another man one
of the brainiest lawyers the State
ever produced, give voice to such
sentiments. Rather than declare
that the man who is guilty of the
offense charged against Russell
Sherrill, should die instead of
being tried, I’d cut off my arm. I
never heard in all my experience
such sentiments thrown into a
jury box.
Mr. Glenn is still speaking as
we go to press, having been cut
short by the dinner hour. He will
probably speak an hour when the
arguments will have been closed.
A synopsis of his great effort will
be given tomorrow as well as part
of Judge Cooke’s charge,
