Edctor Qrahaqni was electro- cpted Friday; fpr'tbe murder of Paul ibhnson last August. IBo held W his story to the last, that he shot when he was being inaulted with a seasoned* dog wood walking stick, the stick being broken over bis head. The reasons this statement was not accepted are these: That stick was in the car, Oapt. John* son took that stick and struck the defendant several blows across the head and shoulders, and then replaced it, either be fore or after he was shot. The sheriff found the stick in the car. It was in court. The lury exam ined it. There were three wit nesses who were near enough to have heard an altercation like that^ the wbaling of a man sit ting in a Dodge touring car with the top up, so the jury ncr othbrs believed the whaling and shoot ing occurred at the same time. Rector said be did not have a fair showing, but he forgave ev erybody, and felt he bad been forgiven and was going td .fiter (lal rest. Let us hope M, bbt we have given above the reasons for his story not being accepted. Can you accept it? Fayetteville WtHOian Killed.' Accidendy Ifl '4 .A,V. Fayetteville, Dec.
