Defendant Fails As Own Lawyer In Trial
Kart J Terry faced two charges in Judge George A McCauleys court yesterday and acted as his own attorney but failed to convince the jury of his finances. The judge has been in office 577 days and Terry has been at the county road camp following appearances in the justice court on various charges. He was arrested days ago on vagrancy and disturbing the peace. Terry argued that no man could consume certain quantities of wine beer and whiskey daily yet stay sane. Deputy District Attorney John Chapbert prosecuted for the state and gave Terry leeway. The judge allowed extensive defense, the room was cleared for deliberation, and after two ballots the jury announced its verdict.
