BROKEN STORY
OF DEFENDANT
ENDED WITH AN APPEAL
TO “GOD UP-STAIRS’* TO BEAR
WITNESS 'TO TRUTH FIT, NESS.
Jobn Jackaon, Greek, Tried for At
tempted Criminal Assault—Proae
cutrlx 11-Year-Old Hannah Has
sell—Told Story Briefly and Read
ily—Cross-Examination Failed to
Shake It—Statement of Defendant
Broken and Filled With Emotion,
To believe the story of a pretty 11-
year-old girl or the stammering brok
en English of John Jackson, a Greek,
was the problem that confronted a
jury yesterday, in the Superior Court.
Jackson was on trial, accussed of
attempting to criminally assault little
Hannah Kassell and from before 6
o’clock, the jurors wrestled in vain as
to the guilt or innocence of the ac
cused.
The case was one of the strangest
heard in the court in some time. Sit
ting near his counsel, Col. Robert L.
Colding, was the accused, almost in a
state of nervous collapse. He sat with
his head bowed, his hands clasping and
unclasping about his hat, and his
breath coming and going in a labored
manner. Time and time again he swal
lowed with difficulty and was constant
ly wetting his lips with his tongue.
The small prosecutrix, as though un
aware of the seriousness of the crime
she alleged had been attempted, told her
story glibly and briefly. Questions were
answered with a quick readiness and
there was no hesitation even under
the rigid cross-examination. Her story
was relied on to make out the case
for the state, as the defense relied
wholly on the defendant's statement.
Story of kittle Girl.
Solicitor Osborne opened the case for
the state and called as the first wit
ness the little girl. She stepped quick
ly to the stand and, at his bidding, told
the story. She pictured the candy
store distinctly and of her asking Jack
son for 3 cents worth of candv. He
began filling the order, she said, “by
dropping the caramels into the bag one
at a time.”
Then followed the remarks which
frightened her and the attempt to
drag her into a rear room. She
screamed- and the Greek allowed her
to go, she alleged. Straight home she
ran and told the story to her mother,
though no action was taken until the
father returned. The arrest by De
tective Wall followed his report.
The father was called and corrob
orated the story of his daughter as to
why the arrest had not been made
sooner after the alleged attempt. In
no other particular was he able to shed
any light on the case. When he
stepped from the stand the state rested
its case.
The Oefemlant'it Statement,
Jackson then took the stand in his
own behalf. Only partially able to
speak English, nervous and excited,
his story was in many respects a pit
iable one.
He spoke rapidly and indistinctly,
using many gestures. Now and then
he would hesitate, think over the
events of the day in question, and then
with a faintly murmured ••Yes’’ go oil
with the story. He clasped and un
clasped his hands rapidly. He fre
quently motioned with his left hand,
keeping his right hand held over his
heart.
He denied all the allegations of the
plaintiff and claimed he “no use the
bad language.” Candy-making is his
trade and at this he claimed he had
always worked. As he closed, his voice
shook, tears filled his eyes, and then
his emotions got the better of him.
Raising his hands in the attitude of a
supplicant to heaven he exclaimed;
“I know nothings about him. I never
use the bad language. I never hurt
the leetle girl an’ so I tell the mama.
God up-stairs and he know me tell the
truth and the right. If I don’ may God
upstairs cut off my arm.” Then the
tears came and the man rushed back
to his seat, dropped heavily into his
chair, and buried his face in his
hands.
Jury Visited the Store.
Solicitor Osborne argued the case for
the state. He spoke slowly and in a
low tone of voice. He played upon
the innocence of the child-prosecutrix,
the heinousness of the crime, the
necessity of preventative measures, the
impossibility of the story being mere
ly a concocted one.
Col. Colding argued for the defense.
He referred to the crime as one that
can be easily charged, with is hard
to prove, and harder yet to defend. In
vivid pictures he painted the trials of
the Greek, his efforts te earn an hon
est livelihood, and his inability to
even tell fully his own side of the
story, owing to his lack of knowledge
of the language. He closed with an
eloquent appeal for a verdict of ac
quittal.
Shortly before 6 o’clock, Judge Cann
gave the case to the jury. After half
an hour’s deliberation they asked to
be taken to the candy-store, where the
alleged assault was committed and
this request was granted. The place
was carefully inspected and then the
jurors returned and resumed their ef
forts to reach a verdict.
BY WATER AND RAIL. 1
The City of Macon made her slip
at the Ocean Steamship wharf yes
terday morning after a delayed pass
age from New York. The caution of
the captain In delaying the start from
New York fourteen hours during a
raging snow storm prevented the pas
sengers from what might have proven
a bad trip. The vessel on arrival at
Tybee light at 6 o'clock Tuesday aft
ernoon found the atmosphere too heavy
to proceed up the river and the cap
tain remained outside over night.
These precautions on the part of the
master to insure the safety of his pas
sengers caused the late arrival of the
steamer.
