BANKS COUNTY BOY,
[NDER SENTENGE OF
DEATH. TELLS STORY
OF DEED HERE TODAY
~ While the State Prison commis- |
sion has under consideration a'
petition asking the commutation |
of his sentence, Wash. Smith, 203
vear old Banks county youth, sen
tenced to die in the electric chairi
next Wednesday for the murder |
of his former emnloyer, Judi
Wells, wealthy Banks county |
planter, is confident in the Clarke |
county jail that his life will m!
spared. '5
Smith was denied a new trial |
by the Banks county flur.eriori
court, and Jater by the -*ate su- |
preme court a few days ago. The l
petition, which contains several |
hundred Banks county - citizens, |
and several from other counties,
was put first before the Governor
and then before the prison com
mission in a last ‘minute effort to
have the sentence commuted to
life imprisonment.
The defense claims that prose
cuting attorneys and members of
the Wells’ family “locked up” a
young girl, Miss Mary Bell Brown
who was supposed to be the de
fense's main witness, when the
sheriff came to serve subpoenas
for trial. The girl testified yes
terday before the prison commis
sion that Smith shot Wells in
seif-detense. Solicitor Pratt cross
exam};ned her, but her testimony
was not shaken, according
to James W. Arnoid, Athens at
torney, who is one of Smith’s at
torneys. Governor Hardman had
previously refused to commute
the sentence,
Miss Brown lived on Wells
plantation at the time of the
shooting, and had evidence which
would probably have changed the
verdicts of the juries in the trials
had she been allowed to testify,
the defense claims. y .
The murder grew out of a quar
rel Wells and Smith had regard
ing a girl, Sadie Bradie, who lived
with her mother on Wells’ plan
tation, Smith was “in love” with
the girl, he stated, and intended
to marry her, Walls objected to
Smith’s going with the girl and,
according to Smith, threatened to
kill the latter if he did not stop
visiting the girl.
“I heard of Wells’ threats and
asked him if they were true,
when he came into his store. “Yes
and I mean it,” Wells answered
me, and said that if I didn’t be
lieve it he would show me, He
struck at me with a knife in his
right hand. I knocked his hand
up and hit him with my fist. He
rushed for his gun behind the
courter, I got a ‘double-barrelled
shotgun, which was sitting in a
corner. I shot him twice which
he raised above the counter.
“I was working for Wells at his
whiskey distillery at the time of
the shooting. The shotgun T shot
him with was the gun I used to
guard the stills with. He had
thirteen men working at the
sfilllc. and sold whiskey by whole
sale”,
The girl who Smith intended to
marry, Miss Bradie, was only
fourteen vears old at the time of
the shooting. She testified against
Smith at the trials because of
“high pressure” from the Wells'
family, according to Smith. She
married another man sometime
agn, :
Smith stated that he had an
uncle and an aunt kilied without
anything beinz done about it, and
he was afraid not to shoot Wells
because he was afraid of him.
Mr. Arnold volunteered his ser.
vices to help the coudemned youth
at the request of several loca! cit.
izens, he said. Early Stark, Com.
merce, represented Smith during
his last trial, and Fermor Barrett.
Toccoa, killed in an auko accident
several months ago, represented
him in the first trial.
Solicitor Pemberton Cooley lead
the prosecution ‘in the first trial
of Smith. He was assisted by
Dorsey Davis, Athens; J. H, Skel
ton, Hartwell, and J. B, G. Logan
Homer. Solicitor Pratt lead the
prosecution in the second trial,
and was assisted by former Solic
itor Cooley, and the above named
lawyers.

Legge To Remain
Farm Board Head
For Another Year
WASHINGTON.. -~ (UP). -~
Chairman Alexander Legge of

ministration storm center for
many weeks, has been persuaded
by President Hoovar to remain
n office another year, it was
Jearned authoritatively Friday.
His first year of servide expireg
on June 15, .
When he accepted leadership in
the difficult task of helping the
farmer, ‘Legge expected to remain
only a year, He left a SIOO,OOO
a year position with .the Interna
tional Harvester Company and
planned to lead the board only
through the farm emergeney.
Hoover has ignored the opposi
tion to Legge from the grain
trade, ied by Julius Barnes.
The President believes that the
administration’s farm relief plans
are now in mid-stream and that
it would be a grave error to
change leaders at this point.
Plans contemplate a livestock co*
operative and wide expansion of
the marketing groups already
established.
