According to evidence given at the hearing, Games and Long had been together during the afternoon, and later Long came to Games home and sought immoral relations with Games wife. Games told the court that he was on the bed apparently asleep, but he saw 'Long take a drink with his wife, I kiss her, and insist on slinking furjther into debauchery, but that his wife was not acquiescent to his ! plea for fear that he?her husband j?was not asleep. "I jumped out of bed and asked 'Snag' what the hell does this mean and then told him to get out of my house. He mumbled something and said that he wasn't going anywhere. He was coming towards me and was not headed for the door when I shot 1 him." After the load from the shotgun had entered Long's body, he fled out of the house to a field where he died. Thomas Palmer, a witness, said that Long was not dead when i he saw him but that he made no statement about the shooting. "He only asked me to get him a doctor." In answer to a request from Gilmer Overby, who was representing the negro, that the charges against the defendant be dismissed, Magistrate Petar said that inasmuch as the men had been together in the afternoon and there was some evidence of drinking, he felt that it was his duty to bind ( the man over to court and let the grand jury investigate the shooting if members of that body cared to. i Negro Boy Hurt When Hit By Car The 10-year-old son of Ulysses Davis, negro, had his arm and leg broken on Wednesday afternoon about 5 o'clock when he was struck by a car driven by Marvin Overby, white man oi this county.

Following the accident the young i negro was examined by Dr. W. D. Rodgers and sent to the Jubilee Hospital at Henderson for treat- : ment.

John Kerr Jr., who represented the negroes, did not put either of the defendants on the stand, nor did he question the state's witnesses to any great extent as they told of finding the crumpled form of Mr. Fleming lying near the sidewalk with a severe blow back of his head and a club nearby, of bringing bloodhounds from Enfield which followed a track to the home of the Fields negroes, their arrest and a comparison made of tracks, what fingerprints revealed. Chief interest at the hearing centered around pictures made of finger prints taken off the club with which Mr. Fleming was struck and those of Robert Fields. S. Bowen Dorsett, fingerprint expert at State Prison, erplained the pictures and stated that among the im- < pressions on the stick there were the prints' of Robert Fields' left ring finger and middle finger. He stated that he was positive about the identity of the prints.

After Robert and Willie Fields had been arrested, Sheriff Pinnell said, he took their shoes and compared them with two trades across a field that the dogs had followed. The shoes worn by the two negroes fitted the tracks across the field perfectly, Sheriff Pinnell told. Troy Hight, who was on his way home with his brother, Dick Hight, when he found Mr. Fleming, said that the club which he found at the scene of the assault was broken in two pieces and one of these pieces had a drop of blood on it.
