White Jury Refuses To Convict A Negro
Asheville February 25 The jury in the case of the state against John Hetfance charged with murder of Patrolman McConnell failed to reach a verdict after sixty hours deliberation. Judge Stephen Bragaw ordered a mistrial. Hetfance remains jailed along with another inmate alias “Jean Mutt” Wess Brew, who was jailed for the killing of McConnell. The second jury also disagreed, and Brew remains confined for eighteen months. Reports say the district attorney may seek a verdict of acquittal on both cases.
