| Williamson
Murder Case |
| The state vs. Bill Williamson, charged
with the murder of Elle Noel, an old negro, was a mistrial, the jury being unable
to bring in a verdict, ten being in favor of conviction and two for acquittal.
The only person who saw the shooting was a son of the old negro, and he was fully
a hundred yards from them. He swears positively that Bill Williamson did the shooting,
while Bill says Andy, his brother, did the shooting and Andy acknowledges to the
charge. His wife also swears that he told her he killed Noel. |
