ing out of the second story win
dows at 9:15 a.m. and rushed in to
tell the occupants who were in the
front part of the first floor.

W. T. Oden, Charles
? j
Baxter Testify at Inquest
Key witnesses at the Thursday night inquest on the
murder of Albert Fallin, 19-year-old Negro, were William
Thomas (Sergeant) Oden and Charles Baxter, Negroea
who testified that they saw the shootyig New Year's Eva
at Pine and Queen Streets, Beaufort.
Oden said that he saw Lucille (Candy-Baby) Williams
raise a rule ana lire at rainn, a na ?
Baxter told the coroner's jury that
he saw Levi Williams fire at the
victim. Both Levi and Lucille,
brother and sister, are being held
without bond pending meeting of
the grand jury in March. Each is
charged with murder.
The two were present at the in
quest but did not testify. Lucille,
about 5 feet 3 inches, was dressed
in a chartreuse sweater, dark suit,
gray shortie coat, and anklets.
She's a heavy woman, weighing
about 140 pounds.
Levi, light-complected like his
sister, had on dark trousers, a navy
blue jacket with an imitation
sheepwool collar. Because of his
drooping eyelids, he had to tilt his
head back to look at persons on the
witness stand.
Neither was asked to testify. Lu
eijle sat sullenly throughout the
proceedings, her heavily-lip-sticked
lips drooped in a pout.
Coroner Leslie D. Springle, Beau
fort. called Police Chief M. E. Guy
as the first witness. Chief Guy
said that he was notified of the
shooting at 7:13 Dec. 31. When he
arrived at the scene, Fallin was
dead. After getting some informa
tion, he said he ami other officers
went to Levi's home where they
arrested Lucille.
Levi was not there and neither
did they find any weapon.
Oden Testifies
Oden, a tall bespectacled Negro,
was the next witness. He uid that
he was at the Elks Club which is
located near Pine and Queen. He.
Roy Ellison, Isaac Jordan and a
couple others were steaming oys
ters lot ? New Year's E?e feast.
' "Isaac calls me to tire window
(on the second floor) and said they
was fightin' out there," Oden testi
fied. "I looked out and said 'I'm
goin' to get me a good look' and
I went downstairs."
After he got down to the ground
floor he said lie saw Levi Williams
and Alberta Fair "come around the
corner." He told the jury that he
heard Alberta say she was scared
and Levi, he added, was carrying a
rifle.
The boys who were fighting were
Fallin and Abraham Williams, Lu
cille's son. The witness continued,
"The boys were beatin' at each
other and Candy came across the
street and told them. 'Break it up.'
Then Albert uid 'Make her leave
me alone.' I was watchin' the
fightin' and then I turned and saw
Lucille throw up the rifle (the wit
ness dramatized for the court how
she put the rifle up and aimed) and
heard the shot."
Heard Two Shots
Under questioning by Harvey
Hamilton Jr., attorney for Lucille
and Levi, bden said he then heard
another shot. "Levi had a rifle and
she had a rifle," he said. The first
shot sounded like a cap pistol, he
said.
Lawyer Hamilton asked Oden
how he knew the man with a rifle
was Levi. "Because he's shorter
than the other one," Oden replied.
(Levi has a twin brother, Nehe
miah, who waa being held by au
thorities for a while but was later
released).
Then followed a tremendous
hassle about names and who was
who. with sharp exchanges be
tween the witness and the attorney.
At one point Oden told Mr. Hamil
ton, "Don't try to mess me up when
I'm trying to say something!"
Oden emphatically stated that "the
man in the courtroom" (he pointed
to Levi) was the man he saw with
the rifle.
Oden said that after the shooting
he went back upstairs in the Elks
Club and aaked that the law be
called.
