PEONAGE CHARGES
WILLIAMS’S DEFENCE.
New York, April 7.
Williams, testifying on his own behalf, denied knowledge of how the negroes wore killed. He said that Federal agents who had investigated the peonage charges told him that they had found nothing wrong, but that "Williams was technically liable for working negroes he had bailed from gaol. Williams said he then told the negroes to leave, and he never saw them again. Accused declared that Manning, the negro who testified to the murders, was angry because Williams refused to uphold' a lie the former had told the Federal agents, and the negro threatened to do something.—Aus.-N.Z.
