LETTERS OF LONG AGO
READ OUT IN COURT;
Sensational^CasS Tried at
Preston.
(Times-Recorder, April 7th,)
Judge Z. A. Littlejohn presided yes
terday at Preston In a case which, ow
ing to .Its, sensational features and
prominence ot the parties lnvtolvod
created profound Intorcst in the county
and attracted hundreds to hear the
proceedings.
The trial revealed the old story, to
oft retold, of a woman who loved not
wisely but too well; whose faith was
strong, who faltered faint, and fell.
The state was represented by Solic
itor-General J. R. Williams and CoL
J. F. Souter, while defendant waa rep
resented by Messrs. J. B. Hudson, V.
A. Hooper, G. Y. Harrell, Judge Hickey
end Col. James, the two latter at
torneys from Lumpkin.
An array ot witnesses wore sum
moned, but only two or three were In
troduced, the evidence being largely
documentary.
Letters, the deer sweat missive* of
an unhallowed paat, were produced In
court, sans flowers, sane ribbons, and
read. The old letters were supposed
to have been burned, as tb* writer re
quested, but they were deetlned for
another role, as waa evidenced yes
terday.
A score ot these letters were read
to the Jury, amid the hushed stillness
the courtroom, tbe young woman
sobbing convulsively during the try
ing ordeal.
Her statement waa brief and concise,
i was that of tho defendant. Tho
submission of letters ended early In
tbe afternoon and waa followed by
argument df counsel, which consumed
the day- The ease waa not concluded
until well into the evening.
Messrs. Williams and Souter spoil*
for the state, while Messrs. Hooper
and Hudson , made Arguments for the,
defense.
