Married State’s
Main Witness
Jot Nickens Trial Comes To Sud
den Halt When Wife Tells of
Her Marriage.
The trial of Joe Nickens, up
on an indictment for arson,
came to a sudden and unexpected
halt Thursday morning *in the
Jackson Circuit Court, when
from the witness stand, Mrs. ]
Julia Thomas that was, but Mrs.
Joe Nickens that is, announced
that she was the wife of de-!
fendant and thus disqualified as ;
a prosecuting witness.
She appears to be a woman
past middle age, while Joe Nick
ens is hardly of age, but anyhow,
they were married here January
26th, by Esquire Loftin upon a
marriage license issued in Law
rence county, and which witness
exhibited upon the stand.
With the prosecution’s case
thus weakened and the point be
ing raised that under the cir
cumstances, witness might be
compelled to testify, the jury
was excused until afternoon,
when the court would rule upon
this point.
The defendant was indicted j
jointly with Alec House, for ar- j
son and accesory before the i
fact to arson, in the burning of J
the Horton mill about a year ago.
A severance of the cases was
asked and granted and eleven
members of the trial jury were
secured before adjournment
Wednesday afternoon. The mar
riage of Nickens to the state’s
leading witness was unknown to
his counsel, Judge M. M. Stuck
ey, Grant & Mack, until just be
fore the trial of the case.
In the jury trial of Hood
Churchman, charged with as
saulting his wife, on appeal from
a justice court, defendant was
found guilty of simple assault
and fined $25. He was defended
by L. L. Campbell and for the
state Prosecuting Attorney Er
win was present.
Charley Johnson, a local negro,
who gets into trouble frequent
ly, was given a jury trial Wed
nesday for resisting an officer,
and came clear. He also pled
guilty in a case for profanity,
and was fined $1. Another case
against him was continued for
the term and set for the fourth
Monday; another for drunken
nes in a public place, was nolle
prossed and another for asault
and battery, in which he pled
guilty was continued.
