j:le of Georgia in tho trial of John
S. Williams ran :.ed a vcniict with
which friends of tho State will he
satisfied. That Williams was guilty
of Hie death cf Lindsey Peterson, and
doublless' also of others among his
negro pecnr, was obvious on the face
ol’ l e evidence. What the jury real
ly had to decide was whether or not
a white man can be found guilty of
murdering a uegro - in Georgia, and
with that question settled in the af
firmative, whether or not he can be
hanged for the crime!
Williams was found guilty, and
though tae compromise verdict gave
him life improsonment, eight men out
of the twelve were for hanging him.
Ifoyoml question, if the principals in
the case had been reversed, if Peter
son had killed Williams, Peterson
would have been executed. But it
is again worth recording when a
Sout.'oro community accept.-, the word
of a n-gro as conclusive testimony
•gainst ids master in a trial for a
capital offense, and rates the mur
der of a negro as sufficiently im
portant to send a plantation-owner
to jail for life.
