Dec. 9 (ANP> During the course ol a three-F.uur grilling Thursday in hi iri;^ f> accepting a bribe to free aa ii - mate of the . ‘ ’e penitentiary while u member of the state board of pa roles and pardons. "Juche Wil liam Henry Harrison, famous lec turer and churchipan. broke down and cried. The case conducted for the de fense bv jit(y. Wend'': ci. ■ concluded Friday after rebut’al ar gument from the >an and tb. closing sne •••hos of the’ l end the defense, and was sent to the jury for^a verdict Although when Harrison was nr dested last January, he made a cnn fesion of guilt lw repudiated this confession during the trial and said that he was confide need into sign 'ng the paper. He made the claim on the stand that George Williams, a white in vestigator for the state's attorney office, had urged him to sign the statement with the promise that the state’s attorney would take care jf him. A picture of Harrison’s had been found in the home of Mrs. Kath cine Smolek. the white complain ant against him. and Williams told the “judge" that unless ho made a confesion. it would go very bad for him in court if it were brought out that he had had a love affair with e white woman. The investigator, still trying to obtain Harrison's sig ra'tire.. is also said to have referr 'd to the fact that he. Williams, ■"as born in Mississippi, and since Harrison was born there, too. he. Wi'llams. would take care of a fel ■ow Mississippian, white or black. Harrison therefore signed the statement and threw himself on the mercy of the southern white gen tleman. Mr. Green in conducting the de tlie victim of a frameup. He sought sense intimated that Harrison was tn bring out Harrison's position as r go-between between the Smolek woman her husband, and other members of the parole board. I* \ ?s thought at one lime that sev c -a' high state officials would be P^d to mfpport this claim, but they were not. Green also declined to summons Judge John P. Mc- C’owtv firmer chief justice of the criminal court to whom Harrison ’s ah god to have talked on the night of his arrest and confessed his guilt.

Catone NEGRO^ONFESSE 1) MEMPHIS. Tennessee. Dec. '2 Charlie Collins. who pleaded guilty to a series of spectacular robberies, and pointed to John Catone. white, proprietor of a gio- ; eery store, as the receiver of stolen roods amounting to several him ; died dollars, was sentenced b serve eight years in the state, penitentiary. He was convicted on! three charges, housebreak s ng, lar 'Ceny, and receiving stolon pro perty. The same jury that gave jCollins nearly the full extent of I | the penalty for his criminal acts I ! returned on the ve> y same day. | iWednesday. December 2. a mistrial) verdict in the case of John Catone i indicted on a charge of receiving the stolen property. The two mon were indicted jointly several weeks ago by a Shelby County Grand Jury. The white defendant was repre sented by attorney R. R. Bond, celebrated lawyer of this city. Un ?ble to secure a legal represgnta tive. Collins received the service lof a public defender. Attorney Ed ■ ward Burton, A fierce and un i merciful prosecution of both de fendants came from Assistant A‘- ■ torney General Will Gerber and Attorney Campbell. Since Collins had already brought the wrath of the criminal law upon his head through his confession, the two state prosecutors blazed their fie’" i attack at John Catone. who w r convicted on a similar charge sev oral years ago. The last case w heard in Judge Harsh’s court division No. 2. The young public defender Bur ton realized that his client had thrown himself on the merices of court, and he merely pleaded that the jury would deal gently with him. i "From the very beginning." At ! torney Burton declared. Collins has co-operated with the pobee ’’force.” After iiis confession, he took the officers immediately to the place where the goods were i stored. I realize that you are i duty bound to sentence this Ne ! gro defendant, but do so wthout ' prejudice and passion." Attorney Bond pointed out that Collin’s confession was invalid so far as Catone, his client, was con cerned. The weight of evidence must rest upon something else rather than the confession of the Negro defendant. The law does not hold one accomplice account - 'able on the strength of the evid ence presented by another. " And without the confession of Coliins. Catone would have never been ar rested." The defense counselor went far ther and stated that the Tate must prove that Catcne bought the goods with the knowledge that they were stolen goods and w ; th the fraudulent intention of d” p riving the owner or owners of them. "The fact tl J Catone -meet sixty days in the county jail on a 'ike charge does not have any bearing on the present case. At torney Bond closed his summary with the appeal that the defendant • as the head of large family, that hi.- wife is an expectant mother. ",’.'J h s little children would ho ’o'lking to him as their Santa Tlaus around Chistmas time Assistant Attorney General Ger ber declared that Catone knew those goods were stolen or he ! would not have denier! at first that lie had them in hw poss'ss">n. The fact that he bought ;ev"al expensive coats, a diamond ring, men suits from time to time f’r,m Collins for a meager sum of ten dollars, proves his guilt. Ts Catone had thought that the bed sprr"'-! belonged to that Negro th’ef. hr would h <vo never put t! e-n on T-. own bed. Those coats and manv other pieces of clothes were hang ing in his own wardrobe to be used by Catone and his family. "If it were not for John Catone. an intelligent white man. who puts his hands out to a Negro thief and takes from him the p.wpertv of other people.
