Life Sentence Given Highpoint

CANTON, Ohio ~ APNS |
Friday 13th proved unlucky
fur Harril ~Highpoint~ wWil
lianson because he was convieted of first degree murder by
a jury of six mem and six women: Thus ending 4 case~ which
grew out of ati. altercatiori between Highpoint Willianson and
Tommie Martin at her residence February 6, 1947. Mrs. Mar
point, was shot in the. kitchen
of her home, 1486 Gonder Avenue ~S. E., by Harril Williamson. Tommie died three days
later in the hospital.

County prosecutor Deane Mclaughlin opened the State's
case by charging Highpoint with
first degree murder. To substantiate the charge the prosecutor said, ~as the results of a
fiery, uncontrolable temper, und
with malice and deliberate premeditation, Harril Williamson
murdered (by shooting) Mrs.
Tommie Martin.~

Warren G. Smith, attorney
for the defense stated that his
client, Highpoint Williamson,
in the grip of fear,
cornered in the small kitchen
of 1486 Gonder Avenue, fired
the fatal shot to frighten Mrs.
Martin who was. stalking him
with a pair of scissors

The State, after a jury had
been accepted, called its witnesses to testify: the 13 vear
old son of Mrs. Martin - who
was forced to clean
mother~s blood from the kitchen
floor, and- who was net permitted to summion aid for his
stricken. mothet; Big Dave Ash,
who made it possible for Highpoint to acquiré a fireatrn; and
who drove the wounded Tommie to the hospital; the attendants of Mrs. Martin while zhe
was inthe hospital; the police
who made the arrest and conducted the investigation; the
statement Highpoint made to
the police; and the mute but
powerful dying declaration
made -by -Tommie Martin to her

two sisters, Betty Belle and
Frances Martin. Highpoint~s
councilors tried with insidicus

questions to weaken the creditability of each statement made
by. a -witness.

Thursday morning Highpoint
was put on the stand in an attempt to save his neck before
~drowning in the tida) wave of
evidence compiled by the stste.

told of his previous conviction

~however, the darker shading of

his story told with the coolness

Williamson disregarded the fact
~that he had. lied to the police
on the night of the shooting
and denied that he made the
statements to the police that
were presented to him in court
with his signature affixed to the
document.

Each day of the trial, the 33
seats in judge Bartheleieh~s
court had two to three ciaiments. Spectators, not interevied
in justice nor knowing what
and how the machine of justice
operates, just spectators watching a show. Little significance
was placed on the fact that it is
the machines of-justice that provide and protect the orderly
conduct. of a community. Wednesday afternoon the - court
room reeked with the effluvium
of whiskey and humanity. The
prosecuting and defense attorneys, grouped as a military
board of strategy firing their
well formed questions, jockying
for. position with the jury, or
being kept from: going to far afield by Judge Barthelmeh
caused chuckles from the spec-tators.

The defense enmassed a number of motley individuals cf dubicus character to varify the
coruscated character of Highpoint; however, the witness
ould neither interpret nor articulate the symbols after tf&king
the stand.

Not until the defense
prosecution gan to summarize the case did the srcctators
become intense, cease twitching
and with almost an air of awe
listen to what was being said.
The response left by the spectators. ran the gamuet as the attorneys spoke in turns. The attorneys, in their sumations.
