The complainant was Lula Taylor, also of Wheelerville, who is the daughter of Calvin Taylor who was assassinated in Wheelerville about a month ago. Taylor was a leading witness in the case for the state and it was rumored at the time that his sudden taking off was due to his connection with the case. Notwithstanding the absence of his testimony, the jury were out about five minutes, which is said to be the shortest time on record, and they returned a verdict of guilty as charged in the indictment.
