L. Williams, presiding .Tuesday morning Dade was beitg tried for possessio nof 12 gallon: of,whiskey. He was alleged to have had the 12 gallons of alcholiclig uars in his house, and left the house sometime before the raid was made by federal officers. The large crowd listened breathlessly as Dade, un moved by the testimony of the wit nesses against him and the shrewd ciedtions propounded him. main taimed great presence of mind and was easily the match of the legal haitery of lawyers of the United States district attorney’s office, The highlight of the case was, reached when Dade, acting as his| own defense attorney, cross-exa mined the two federal dry agents to show that the liquor found in his home, was in the back room and| could “have been placed there by son‘g’oge else and also without hic knowledge. Dade drew testimony from the dry agents to disclose that theé® whiskey could have been hrought there by someone else who could crawl into the house through .. rotten place that was in the floor | Lefi Town | A "he defendant, Dade. also set! {rth that he left Muskogee three ag_s prior to the time of the raid and worked two months at saw mi@s in Arkansas. and that return ‘ng” here later, he was surprised to ﬁr:g that he was being wanted on a whiskey warrant. The dry oficers a&%iﬂed that a man could crawl through the rotten floor with 3 five gaflon kegs. but insinuated that Dade had left only because he had been informed his house had been raided in his absence. The court, jury and spectators listened very intently as Dade con dugted his own case of defense. The jupy was instrucled by Judge Wil liams at the end of the testimony an@l argument and, after deliberat ing 4 hours. returned a verdict ol “ngt guilty” of the churge. Court tthches say that this was cne ot the first cases of the kind ever con- Aucted before a Federal court by a Negro in which a jury returned a “net guilty” verdict. - Bishop Grant § (Continued from Page 1) required to post a vond o: $1.000 to asfure his appeairance in the Gen eﬁ% County Cireut colirt sonie: tite in the spring at a liral hear ing.
