VERNER VINCENT, FREED ON BOND, RETURNS HOME The jury in the care of Verner Vin cent. having: been unable to agree, af ter 24-hours’ deliberation, at Chatts worth, was discharged late last Thurs day afternoon, and a mistrial ordered. Attorneys for Mr. Vincent immediate ly arranged for a hearing before Judge Tarver, at Dalton, and the judge or dered Vincent released on $7,500 bond which was quickly secured. Messrs. M. L. Upshaw, Robert Maxwell, Lee Tom linson L. E. Bishop and H. H. Leon ard signing it. An Unusual Feature. Possibly one of the most unusual ajj peals ever presented to a judge was that of the 11 jurors who had voted for \ ineent’s release. They addressed the following petition tc Judge Tarver, and. it is believed, h-ir as much weight as anything else with that official, in fixing the bond: To Hon. M. C. Tarver, Judge Superior . Courts, Cherokee C'icuit. We. the undersigned jurors, who were empannelled and swo n as jurors in the above stated cave, certify that ' within a few minutes after we went to cur room, eleven were for acquittal of the defendant, and only one for con viction, and remained that way until W'e were discharged. We respectfully ask that you permit the defendant to make bond. This, Aug 19. 1920. {Signed.) R. C. Shields C. W. Shields. Sam Aly. S. A Hilley. Sam K. (Jordon, J. B. Wilson. C. C. Steal ley, J. W Gregory, G. W. Autry, Jesse Charles.” Vincent Returns Home. Immediately after the bond was sign ed, Mr. Vincent was released from cus tody, and he immediately joined his f; mily here in Cartersville. The last issue of the Chattsworth Times had a very complete story of the trial, and we publish the salient fea tures as carried by that paper, below: The sensational developments which many rumors had promised for the trial failed o materialize and when the evi dence was all in noih ng had been brought out which was not generally known for a week following the trag edy. Brooks First Witness. The first witness put up by the state was W. T. Brooks an automobile me chanic employ'd at Treadwell’s garage ai the time of the killing. He swore that shortly before the killing Tread well entered the garage and got in his car on the front seat on the right side ci the car and was trying to tear an old patch off an inner tube. The car was standing just ins*de the door, fac ing the rear end of the garage. Vin cent entered the door on the left side of the car said * Good morning, gentle men,” and ashed if Smith Treadwell was in Treadw.Jl did not reply, but conti jed his wo. it, and witness told Vince . was Treadwell in the ear Vincent walked a. or ad front end of car to r gt side of car and asked if that was Smith Treadwell. Treadwell still did not an-we-r, but continued with his work. When Vincent got u-.out, even with the front wheel he tiaid ‘ Aren’t y. u the man who was looking for me to kill me a. the hotel the other night?” Just as he spoke these words he pulled pistol from,' his pocket with left hand ad ‘'•hooting Witness said that Tread\ eil not look up from his work until about the time of Lie first shot, and tfiai he made no move as if ?o draw pfstoi. On cross-examination he stated that if Treawell made such a move he did not see it. When the first shot was fired Treadwell "struggled up” and said *oh! ” “Slim” Johnson, who also worked at the g?*age, was next sworn. He stated that he was standing with one foot on running board on right side of car watching Treadwell remove the patch from the inner tube when Vincent cn- Wfed, and that he remained in this po sition until the first shot was fired not leaiizing what was taking place until the shooting was nearly over. His evi dence was practically the same as that of Brooks, although he swore positively that no move was made by Treadwell as if to draw a gun. Both witnesses swore that they ran as scxm as the shooting began and that when they re tained a few moments Treadwell s buop was on the floor, and that he was dead. The state introduced the inner tube as evidence and rested its case here. The defense introduced Mr. and Mrs. Alvin Jones and Misses Ora Belle and Clarice Jones mil Dr E R. Munford to show the events leading up to che aag edy. With a few minor exceptions there was no conflict in their testimony, which showed the following facts: On Wednesday afternoon preceding the killing a party of young people con sisting of Misses Ora Belie Jones and Thelma Treadwell and Messrs. E. R. Munff rd and Dewey Swlney, went to Cohuica Springs ar.d just as they were* leaving the springs on their return tr.p the car broke down and they were un able to get back to Chatsworth. They walked to Crandall and Swiney went to the home of Mr. Evans, where Vincent pending ihe mg at, ang/nsked him pSa, the party to Chatswyrih. "Tnfftlfflnill'.jflfiWi. I •* s THE BARTOW TRIBUNE (TRIBUNE, VOL. 9, No. 60.) (NEWS, VOL. 3, No. 25.) MUSICAL NEXT TUESDAY NIGHT On Tuesday evening, August 31st, in the Cherokee Club Auditorium, a benefit entertainment will be given in the interest of the Library fund. Miss Ella Neel, chairman of the Music Section, has arranged a very attractive program, in which a number of the college girls, and boys and other local talent will take part. Go out and help the public library to be what it snould be—one of the best any town of this size could boast. The program will begin promptly at 8:30, and a nominal admission charge of 25 cents will be made in the party. Vincent readily agreed to help them, got up and dressed, left his young son asleep, got out his car, re moved the sample cases from rear seat and the entire party proceeded to ward Chatsworth in irgh go;;d humor. When they reached the culvert above Eton Vincent stopped the car saying. ■Whoa! I m going to take a drink.” M ? ss Treadwell protested against Vin cent drinking, and the witnesses said he good-humoredly replied “I’ll take a drink and turn the car over and kill every d —n one of us.” At this point Miss Treadwell got out over the side of the car without opening the door, and was followed by Swiney, Wier escort. The., walked down the road ahead of the car. Which soon overtook them, and 9 Vincent asked them to get in and ride, but they refused. He stated that he was making the trip solely for accom modation, and if they did not wish to xide it was all right with him It was r. Dt stated whether he took the drink he i (tended to take, although he produced a small bottle. The car came on to Chatsworth, and the occupants stopped at the DeSoto hotel. Vincent told Miss Jones that he would chat go nothing for the trip ex cept a place to sleep and his breakfast, and he did not register. It appears from the evidence that Smith Treadwell who was returning to Crandall with M.'ss Amelia Phillips, met hi- sister and Swiney. and when told of the incident at the culvert was very ihdignart. He took them in his car and carr ed them to Crandall, where another party of young people, who had heard of the accident to the car at the springs, had come to carry them home. Swiney and Miss Treadwell got in the car with this party and returned to Chatsworth with them. Treadwell fol lowed soon afterward. There was some slight conflict in the evidence as to what occurred at the hotel, but,the conflict was not material, and in the main the evidence was aJfbut as follows: When Treadwell arrived at the hotel he went into the lobby and looked on the register demanding to know what room Vincent was in, cursing loudly and declaring that he would kill Vincent, u ng a vile epithet, and that no man could offer his sister a drink of whisky ar.d insult her. Some of the witnesses testified that Treadwell went upstairs looking into all the rooms. Two r avel ing men staying at the hotel that night testified that they were awakened by the loud talking. One witness swore that Swintd told Treadwell " if you don’t kll him. I will.” J. G Neely t-cok a pistol away from Swiney in the com motion and handed it to Ralph Harris, who later gave it to Treadwell Several tried to calm Treadwell, stating that nothing had happened to cause him to be so wrought up and his cousin. Ralph Treadwell, attempted to quiet him by telling him that Vincent was net in the hotel. At this point Smith and Ralph Treadwell engaged in a short scuffle and amid the general confusion members of the Jones family entered and quiet was finally restored. Smith Treadwell leaving the hotel, declaring that Vincent had better not be there the next morning. When Vincent came dov.n to break fast the following morning he was told, according to w-’itnesses, of the threats of Treadwell, and was warned by Mr. Jones and Ralph Treadwell that he was dangerous when in such a bad humor. Jones testified that he told Vincent he should go to Treadwell and straight en the matter out. but that he should go cautiously. He said Vincent would never agree to go. After breakfast Vincent went down to Brad cvT store and bought a pistol, and leaving Bradley’s store he went into the garage and inquired for Tread well, but he was out. He then asked lor the sheriff and was advised that he was out of town., and he requested Jim Bagley to go with him fo the hotel and hear his side of the store from Miss Ora Belle. Bagley accompanied him, ii,nd a: the hotel Vincent asked Miss Jones to call up Miss Treadwell, stating that if he had done anything that had caused her offense, he desired to make apologies for it. When Mie Treadwell Wi.s finally gotten on the phone she refused to accept Vincent's apology, stating that he would have to see her rjmm- i SortinnA THE CARTERSVILLE NEWS REGISTRATION FOR CITY SCHOOLS ON WEDNESDAY NEXT Superintendent L.
