Found Chance Guilty;
Recommends Mercy.
Statesboro, Ga., May 3. “We,
the jury, find the defendant guilty
and recommend him to the mercy
of the court. ” This was the ver
dict brought in this afternoon in
the case of the State vs R. H.
Chance, charged with the murder
of Watson Allen on Christmas
day in Jenkins county.
The case came to Bulloch Su
perior Court on achange|of venue
after Chance was tried at the
last term of the Superior Court
in Jenkins county, when the jury
stood 11 to 1 for conviction and a
: mistrial was declared.
The case has created a great
deal of interest as both parties
are well connected.
The jury was charged at noon
today when E. K. Overstreet, of
Sylvania, concluded his argument
for the defense. R. Lee Moore
made the last speech for the
State, which was one of the most
brilliant efforts ever made in the
court house here.
There are five charged with
the murder of Allen. R. H.
Chance, Roscoe Chance, Sidney
and Gary Rowe and W R. Lewis.
R. H. Chance was the first to be
tried and since he has been con
| victed the others will be tried
next week, Judge Strange setting
j Monday of next week for the
i beginning of trial. It has not
been announced whether or not
| the cases of the other four will
ibe tried collectively or separate.
The case came to an abrupt
end yesterday at noon when
, the defense announced that it
! would not introduce any evidence
(giving Mr. Overstreet the con
cluding argument. It is certain
a motion for a new trial will be
made. The defense had sum
moned about forty witnesses and
the sudden turn was a great sur
prise to every one.
