On last Friday evening quite a
little interest was manifested in
Esq. Best’s court between the
stote of Arkansas and two dark
ies, Alfred Parker and George
Brown, upon the charge of car
rying pistols. The charge was
brought by Deputy Prosecuting
Attorney E. C. Kramer upon in
formation given him. The cir
cumstances of the case are some
thing like this: About the 17th
of July, two darkies by the
name of Huffman and Dugg gol
into a dispute and finally foughl
itout near Dixie Williams’ house.
Van Lou Brown and his folks
were eating supper they heard
this fight, so they all rushed down
to the place of battle, Van Lou
and wife, Afred Parker and
George Brown. Huffman swore
he saw a pistol in the hand of Al
fred Parker holding it partly in
his shirt bosom and saw George
Brown holding one partly in his
side pants pocket. Upon seeing
these guns, Huffman told his
wife to go and get his gun. Van
Lou asked him, if he sent for a
gun for him and Huffman said
i ves. Then Van Lou said “I’ll no
and get my gun.” This fax* the
testimony is substantially the
same on both sides. But, the
next statement is where the state
and defense differ. The witnes
ses of the state, in response to
Van Lou’s statement “I’ll go and
get my gun,” all testified that
one of the defendants said “Papa
don’t go, we’ve got enough for
you too. ” The defendants are not
agreed about what they said in re
sponse. Alfred Parker testified
that he said “Don’t go, I am a
badder nigger than he is.” Van
Lou swore that the boy said “Pa
pa don’t go we are enough for
I them.” Van Lou’s wife swore
j the boy said “Papa don’t go, we
I are enough for him.” The jury
| after hearing all the testimony,
i could not agree. They were dis
i missed and trial set for next day
1 at 10 o’clock. The next day court
VVVV^^>VVVVTVVVV*?VVVTVVVVVV
! was opened by John Hatcher,
| our efficient constable and case
proceeded to trial E. C. 'Kramer
representing the state and W. B.
Kyle the defendants. After the
! testimony was all in and plead
; ings of the counsels had been
heard, the jury brought in a ver
1 diet of guilty and lined both de
fendants fifty ($50.) dollars and
costs. The defendants immedi
ately took an appeal to circuit
eourt. Boys, you had better let
your guns alone. They get many
a person into trouble.
