Charles Carter acquitted. Newt Nowling testified that he didn’t even know what Christmas was on, or the day of the week, but remembers Carter selling him rum. Marion Hall (who shot Carter & killed Arnold Mitchell) said he purchased 2 quarts of rum for $3.50 from Carter on the morning of the shooting. George Keen testified that Carter was hauling lumber from a mill south of Mossyhead to Mossyhead at that time of day until dark. Mossyhead is 12 miles from where Newt said he saw Carter at dark. The jury was about five minutes in returning verdict.
