Peterson’s Fate in Hands of Birmingham Jury; Still Oiit
PETERSON STILL
INSISTS HE'S
NOT SLAYER
BIRMINGHAM. Ain Dec 1 I
After the state had contended
that strength was not needed to
fire a pistol and pointed out. the
lack ol protection afforded wo
men, the jury was carefully,
charged at 4 10 Thursday afternoon
in the Peterson case and at 4:30
was sent one. It was believed
they would be out all night try
ing to reach a verdict
Testimony if the photographer
who took the picture of Wilhe
Peterson when he wa brought to
Kilby Prison September 24 was
the final bit of evidence introducer)
at the trial of Wilhe Peter: on
Thin sday morning as the state
ended its side of the rebuttal Li ~! i
tliony The defense, as on the pie
vious eveinng. admitted that th'
exhibit submitted was Had oi tie
defendant
Immediately thereafter I h e
court ordered the jury to retire at
the request of tin defense al
torneys who wished a ruling on
ramie evidence that they planned
to introduce An attempt to place
Earl Wilson Tuscaloosa Negro ba
her who I, a d prey loirly b' en ■
brought t o Hirmingham t" '
identify Peterson as the man that
he had shaved shortly after Hie,
commission of the crime at hi
barber shop in that city, was ruled
illegal by Judge McElroy. The de
tense explained that they wished
to call tins. Witne- who had no*
been placed on the stand by the
state, to testify to Ins signature on
a document in their possession
purporting to state that he had
been hired to testify against Petin
son
A bit of fireworks was displayed
as Assistant Solicitor Jim Long
and Defense Attorney J 'l'. John
son engaged in a heated dispute
over the matter to be introduced
and Defense Attorney Roach con
tended that they did not intend to
prove that the state had made ad
vances to the man with intent to
bribe but that such advances ha J
been made Th e judge ruled
again: t such an admission of testi
mony and tin* defense placed no
witnesses on the stand as the jury
filed in to listen to the arguments
of both sides.
After time for the arguments on
both sides had been limited to two
hours. Assistant Solicitor James M.
Long opened the arguments for
the defense and proceeded to at
tempt to shoot holes in the testi
mony of the alibi witnesses for the
man and remind them of the dis- j
ficulty that an in experienced per- j
son would have in giving a correct i
description He defied the jury to
describe the chief witness. Miss
Nell Wiliams, despite tne fact that
they had looked at her with much
interest as she sat on the stand.
Mr Long stressed the inability
if the witnesses to fix dates cor
leclly and rated them as a hunch
if liars, stating that if one of th,
defense witnesses had ben reouest*
cd to ■< ! him a carload of lies that
tie would accept them without a
kick upon delivery.
Peterson's failure t o answer
questions that lw had asked him
previously at Kilby Prison was at
tributed to the fact that the pri
soner I.new that a: long as he did
not directly answer any question
in the negative that., he could not
lx* impeached. The prosecutor pic
tured Peterson' as a shrewd crafty
criminal n gorilla to he exacting
and pointed out that Peterson used
god languag.' ilhistralhig his con
tention by citing definite words
Used by the defendant upon the
stand thereby bearing out Miss
Williams testimony to the effect
that the man could use good lan
guage as he often forgot his sup
posed rough character and employ
ed good English.
Characteristically "Longish" the
prosecutor demanded the death
penalty and told the jury that it
was their duty to protect their
wives and families by finding the
defendant guilty and making Bir
mingham a safe place for them
eelves and loved ones.
Mr Long further stated that the
prosecution had been kind enough
to warn Peterson that the date of
August 4 was one that he must re
member just what happened and
that he attempted to get witnesses
names from him a Kilbv. Slating
that there was no middle ground
and that Peterson must be found
either guilty and given the electric
chair or freed Defense Attorney
J T Johnson, commenced the
arguments for the defense follow
ing a brief court recess
The first speaker for the defense
pointed out the fact that the jury
would not have to call Miss Nell
Williams a liar in freeing their
client but that they could call her
mistaken in her identity. The jury
was also warned that should they
find the defendant guilty that Mrs.
Satterfield, their white witness,
whom he sis ted was an impressive
witness, would have to be called a
liar to say nothing of the host of
Others who appeared Io support
the story centering around Peter
son's whereabouts. Upon the date
of August fourth.
Attorney Johnson told the jury
that none of them would be able
to state just exactly where they
had been on any particular date
unless each checked up mentally
to fix the date and contended that
the state’s argument that the wit
nesses could not remember any
other dates clearly aside from the
ones in question was due to the
fact that that particular incident
was upper most in their minds at
the time. '

The defense attorney plead W'itb
the jury to stury tfie evidence* in
Hie ease and do duty, reminding
the jury Hint it war much its duty
to protect Hu- defendant as it was
to help the state He advised them
to take God with them into the
jury room
Mr Johnson thanked th" state
for proving a number of their
point::, chief among them being
that the distance from Peterson's
home to the scene of the crime was
marly three miles in the tinniest
direction and that that route lay
ovei rough and hilly ground He
also thanked Mr. Long for keeping
the defense witnesses on the stand
long enough after he had tied them
up ami confused them to enable
tliem to get themselve back to
earth and stating clear essential
facts concerning the incident. He
lurther told the jury that if some
thing had happened to one of their
neighbors that they would go back
and recall any incident that might
help clear one that they knew to
be innocent
The placing of Willie Peterson on
the stand Wednesday afternoon al
ter a number of neighbors had ap
-1 peared previously to build up an
I alibi as to his whereabouts Tues
day alternoon ami evening. August
4th. during the time that the Misses
Williams ami Miss Nell Woods were
allegedly stopped at a lonely place
on the Leeds Cut Off road that at
ternoon and later shot all three,
wounding two of them fatally, was
j the highlight of the third day of
1 the sensational light of Wilhe Pet
erson for his life after having been
previously postively identified by
Miss Nell Williams, sole survivor
of the tragedy on the stand Monday
afternoon.
In addition to developing the ali
bi for their client. Attorneys Roach
and Johnson bent their efforts to
ward proving that Willie Peterson
did not fit the description of the
man named as being wanted by the
young Birmingham society girl as
given to officers following the in
cident. The defense was able to
prove that Peterson's long mus
tache a point of contention on the
part of the state, grew in its pres
ent mode on aeount of his failure'
to trim the tonsoria) adornment
with scissors since his imprison
ment
Peterson who was carried to the
itand by the two trusties who have
iccompanied him. was subjected to
much cross examination by Assist
mt Solicitor Jim Long who asked
him many questions from what was
purported to be a record of the
testimony taken by the members ol
Hie solicitors force when they made
the trip to Kilby prison immedi
ately following the arrest and re
moval to Montgomery, after At
torney Johnson, then directing the
defense, had Peterson tell the court
where he was on that particular
day and evening of the crime and
elicited from hior the information
regarding his mode of 1 rimming
anil wearing his mustache.
The aiiil.sed man became the
center of a near clash between At
torney Johnson and Assistant So
licitor Long during a brief period
while the jury was in the jury
room during the recess as Attorney
Johnson appealed to Judge Me
Elroy against a statement of Mr
Long, to the jury that ' they were
having him carried about the court
room" and demanded to know just
who thi* they might be.
Following a heated exchange ol
words and a motion for a mistrial
by Attorney Johnson, the jury was
brought back into th:* room and
Judge McElroy instructed the jury
that the comments upon Peterson s
being moved around to have no
bearing upon the guilt or inocenee
-cither for or against him Brio
to that time. Peterson's arms and
legs had been exhibited to the jury
over the protest of the state attur
vey and it was intended by the de
fense to prove that, on testimony
brought out by the state itself, that
Peterson was in a better physical
condition now than at the time ol
the unfortunate tragedy.
Peterson was the last of the de
fense witnesses to appear and he
did not seem to remember or recog
nize the picture that had been tak
en at Kilby prison and his constant
statement during the questioning
by Assistant Solicitor Long was II
don’t remember." The defense at-1
torneys agreed to permit the intro
duction and acceptance of the pic
ture as evidence as the afternoon s
session came to an end to save the
state the trouble and expense ol
having the identification and photo
graphic expert who took the pic
ture from coming up from Mont
gomery to testify.
Other witnesses to appear for the
defense in the afternoon were W
W. Kilpatrick. Chief of Police Me
Duff and Mr. Sudduth, assistant
ambulance drive who made the
call and told of Miss Williams ask
ing him not to let the newspapers
know anything about Hie incident

Columbus by the Welfare Bureau
Miss Turner succeeds Miss Alice
Nickerson, former welfare work
er here, who is now doing social
work in Atlanta. Ga . having re
signed her position here several
months ago
somi'thing to ease the victims pains
and of her fear that tier name would
be known
Mr. Kilpatrick, marshall of Ju:
Abernathy's court and a county ’-
ficer. told of the description given
him by Miss Nell Williams in th"
St .Vincent hospital at the time of
Hie crime in the presence of Mr
Copeland, a friend, who answered 1
the call to the sherrifs office Ae
vording to that description the man!
wanted was live feet ten inches tall.
150 pounds in weight, long or bushy
hair, gray felt hat. etc Officer Kil
patrick stated that this was the de
scription that he used to broadcast
the slayer's identity by meants in
posters .
Chief McDuff, who told of ins:
ten years experience as chief ol I
police of the Birmingham police!
department and of having served
four years as chief deputy sherrtf.i
also told of the description given
him by Miss Nell Williams. That
description which was given him
the day folio, ing the tragedy is:
age, thirty or thirty-live: height,
live feet nine or ten: weight. 135 or
140 pounds; color black: clean shav

of one of the shoes having torn
loose and the right toes sticking out
evidently didn’t wear any socks, the
man used good language and it
seems as if he would forget himself
mid show himself capable of using!
very good English. The defense,
was not able to introduce Chief Mc-
Duff's opinion as to whether or
not Peterson resembled the wanted
man as Judge Me Eirpy sustained
Assistant Solicitor L6fi‘g's objection.,
The defense rested its direct testi-'
mony with the removal of Peterson'
from the stand and the state com
menced the procession of rebuttal
witnesses. Warden Dan Rogers of
the Jefferson County jail told how
Peterson had walked unassisted to
the doctor's office that morning at
the jail. The distance is about
twenty five feet according to that
officer.
