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. Private car No. 116, Southern Rail way was in Savannah yesterday.
