Reid, father-in-law of Hud Mottrl*. one of the defendant*, testified to an allh| for him and denied that he told a d'fferent story before the grand Jury. Withered, wrinkled and poorly clad, Morris* mother. 85 years old. In a tired, hopeless voice, swore that her son was at home the night of the murder. Other witnesses swore same and the defense Indicated that It would prove an alibi for each of the eight men. one by one. Leader on Stand. Garrett Johnson, the reputed leader of the rider*, detailed their movements tin* n'ght of the Rankin murder. Johnson swore’the night riders met nt Marsh’s atom to prevent a raid by Ukr county men aa detailed by Frank FChrlnger. Tho sheriff had authorised them to gather for protection. John- denied that any one wna masked that the men gathered there were night rider*. In fact, he hnd never seen n night rider and would not know one If he saw him. Admits Wearing Matk. Arthur (Hoar, ono of the defendants, ndm'tled going masked to ft meeting called to give a whipping to on al leged thief. He declared, however, that the men at the meeting decided not to act and all went home. He denied joining th« night riders or go< Ing on the ride*.
