Statesboro Ga„ April 28.—For the
fourth time Joe Woods, a young white
man,, was convicted, with a recom
mendation, of the murder of "Wink"'
Mikol, yesterday, the Jury being out
twr hours. It Is understood that two
ballots were taken, the first resulting
10 to 2 for conviction.
The case was one of the hardest
fought murder cases ever .tried in
the Bulloch county court house. The
trial required nearly two days and
the-arguments lasted far into last
night.
During the trial Woods sat with
his little boy, 5 years old, on his lap,
with other relatives near holding his
othor little children, who are mother
less, his wifo having been burned tq
death a year ago.
Woods claimed the killing was an
accident; that young Mikel attempted
to Jerk the gun from under his arm,
when it was discharged, blowing off
the top of his head. The state's con
tention was that Woods deliberately
shot Mikel because the latter had re
fused to give him a drink of whiskey.
There is / much sympathy fift tor
Woods.
It was stated after the trial that
| another new trial would be asked for
J Woods, it being alleged that relatives
of Mikel were on the Jury. Counsel
for Woods stated that they would
fight the case to the last ditch.
Woods received the verdict of the
Juiy calmly. He has gained fifty
pounds since his stay in jai).
