the motion before Judge Searcy.
Judge Cozart baaed his princi
pal plea for a new trial on the
contention that Atkinson was
guilty of attempting to make an
illegal arrest and that the most
that Pryor could be guilty of
manslaughter.
He stressed the fact that three ■
pollcement, Chief Stanley. Har- i
per and Connor, all swore on
stand that they were not armed
with a warrant when they went
Atkinson to Prvor's house.
Judge Cozart dwelled on thia at

Judge Cozart took other ex
ceptions to evidence in the cue
and to the Judge's charge to the

on the question of an illegal ar
