When he returned at 9 p. m. the 28 prisoners were re turned from their cells to the court room, and Clerk T. E. Ghristenberry read the individual verdicts. This morning Judge Martin, in his charge to the jury, repeatedly em phasized that neither racial prejudice nor the possible guilt of the lynched Negro be considered in deliberating the case.

Twenty-six of the twenty-eight on trial admitted their part in the crime in statements obtained by local offi cers and the FJB.I. Judge Martin directed verdicts of not guilty for three of 31 original defendants after ruling that the in dividual statements could not be used to implicate anyone besides the per son making the statement.
