No verdict until midnight in Jory trial at Greenside
Special report from Greenside March 2 describes Mrs Mattie Hughes visibly shaken in court as jurors deliberate. Proceedings resume after a long, tense day with Attorney Basil Manly Shuman arguing for the defense that the shooting was justifiable homicide and should yield an acquittal. The jury, twelve men led by foreman John Dickson, faces a closely watched case amid a divided public mood. Israel Waldrop, her father, sits nearby as the trial nears its conclusion.
