JURY DOESN'T ACCEPT
WILLIAM'S TESTIMONY
Pre*.
Fayetteville, Not7 2«.—Bern Law
Manball Wllljeane, who eras alleged
to have been present at the shooting
of Deputy Sheriff A. J. Pat* whcS
Sh-Jfwnu* "id#d ln l"t- ,or
which Williams was sentenced to SO
r*on in the State prison yesterday
by fudge H. P. Lane, wa» acquitted
or a charge of auauh with a deadly
weapon by a Superior court Jury late
la«t night.
William* went on the stlnd late
yesterday afternoon and swore that
Dawson fired the shot that killed the
officer, Bring hi* Winchester auto
matic shotgun. At a night sceslon of
the eourt Dmweon took the stand In
h!« own behalf and denied that he
fired at the sheriffs party, declaring
that he left the vicinity of th* still
when th* officers came up. Williams
has sworn that Dawson fired four
times, while he fired but once, with
a KrsgJorgecn rifle, bolding bis aim
purposely «o a* not to hit any uf the
offlcpr*. One of the other negroef it
the still more that Dawson fired once
wkils there was other contradictory
evidence.
The chief evidence In the negro's
favor was that of Deputy Sheriff
Charlie Driver, who sworr positively
as he had done at Williams’ trial, that
he saw hlar/hall Williams fire the
shot thnt killed Pate, shooting sever
al times with a riflo. J. M. Rogers,
the undertaker who prepared Pate’s
body for burial, testified that the
wound waa inflicted by a single ball.
However, It was more the weakness
of the State’s case than the strength
»f the taatunoney la Dawaon’e behalf
that brought the acquittal, practical
ly all the evidence against the de
fendant being given by Williams.
