in the cab of the truck that
came from the Ragland
residence,
After the state closed its
case, defense attorneys Bobby
Lee “Buzz' Cook Jr. and
Carlton Vines motioned for a
directed verdict for Allmond.
Cook requested a verdict of
not guilty on the ground that
evidence presented was not
sufficient to support the
charge against Alfmnnd, He
said the evidence did not place
Allmond at the scene OF the
crime, he was only with Evans
when he was arrested. Judge
Loggins ruled the issue was a
jury question and denied the
motion.
The defense then put four
different residents on the
stand who told the jury that
they had been with Allmond
and Evans on the day of the
burglary. David Smith and
Sid Ponder testified separate
ly that they had been with the
two young men from around
11 a.m. until around 3 p.m.
Kenneth Touchstone and
Beth Knowles then told the
jury separately that they had
seen the pair at the Arcade in
downtown Summerville from
around 3 p.m. until a little
after 4 p.m,
Court adjourned for the
day around 4:15 p.m. and
resumed at 9 a.m. on Friday.
The defense's first witness
was Bobby Evans, the father
of Tim Evans. The older
Evans told the jury that his
son had been at home until
around 10:30 a.m. the morn
ing of the burglary. Evans
I(fi, his father testified, to go
play ball. The older Evans
testified that he told his son to
carry off some garbage when
he left.
Allmond took the stand in
his own defense. He teld the
jury that he rode from Lyerly
to the ball field in Summer
ville with Evans on the day of
the hurizlar_v. Evans, Allmond
testified, went to the recrea
tion center and later in the
day came back to the ball
field. From there, Allmond
told the jury, Evans carried
him to a friend’s house and
left him. The friend, testified
Allmond, was not at home and
he (Allmond) walked to town
where he met up with Evans
at the Arcade, lre said he and

Dove Season
Begins
Saturday
Dove season opens on
Saturday morning, Sept. 5,
and local hunters are being
reminded by Probate Judge
Jon Payne of several laws
regarding the sport.
A hunter, under federal
and state laws, may take or
possess no more than 12
doves per day, said Judge
Payne. The fine for having
over the legal limit is $35 plus
$2 per bird over 12, For exam
gle. Judge Payne said, if a
unter caught with 14 doves
will be fined $39 — $35 base
fine plus $4 for two extra
doves,
Another law, said Judge
Payne, concerns plugged
guns. Shotfuns are required
to have a plug that allows no
more than three shells (one in
the chamber and two in the
magazine) in the gun. A
hunter can be fined $37 if his
shotgun is not plugged.
lfunting witgnout a license,
Judge Payne e:;rlained. car
ries a high fine. Non-residents
caught without a license will
be charged $lO2, while
residents will be charged $52.
Judge Payne said that
hunters caught hunting over a
baited field (an area scattered
Evans were on their way to
Lyerly when they were stop
ped by Gilleland.
Fvans, testifying in his
own defense, was the last
witness. He told the jury that
he had left his house around
10:30 a.m. after prunning an
apple tree. He said he picked
up Allmond on his way to
Summerville and let him out
at the ball field. Evans
testified that he went to the
recreation center, later return
ed to the ball field and carried
Allmond to a friend's house.
From there, testified Evans,
he went to the dumpster at
the Lyerly Dam to carry off
garbage for his father.
Evans told the jury that
when he got in the back of the
truck to throw the garbage
out, he saw several items —
stereo, guns, etc. — in the
edge of the woods on a bank.
He testified that he figured
the items were stolen, got
them and was going to take
them to the sherif?s office.
However, once in town, Evans
testified, he stopped at the Ar
cade for a few minutes to see if
anyone had heard anything
about a burglary. When he
left, KEvans told the jury, he
met up with Allmond outside
the Arcade and they left.
Fovans testified that he was in
the turn lane to go to the
sheriff's office when Gilleland
slup}})]vd him.
I'he one woman/111 man
jury, after retiring to make a
decision, returned to the cour
troom once with a question of
fact, which Judge Loggins
said he could not help tfiem
with. The jury deliberated for
a little over 4 hours, including
an hour for lunch, before
reaching its decision.
