BANKS REPLY TO
STATE'S BRIEF IS
The reply brief of L. A. Banks, for
mer local agitator now serving life
In state prison for conviction of
second degree murder, has been re
ceived by the district attorney's office.
The document Is brief, and replies
to only two of the points raised by
the state In its brief.
Banks has filed an appeal from his
t conviction and sentence, and the su
preme court has set April 5, at 1:30
p. m., as the time for argument.
The latest defense brief rests on
the affidavit of Lee Young, an alter
nate Juror in the case, in which he
alleges misconduct on the part of
one of the male balliffB, and the evi
dence introduced by the state showing
that a .38 calibre revolver was found
under a coat belonging to Mrs. Banks
on a davenport In the Banks' home.
The brief reads, in summing up the
.38 calibre pistol point:
"... the evidence of preparation
and premeditation are overwhelming
so far as sustaining the verdict of
the Jury is concerned ..." and then
holds that "the evidence was useless
to the state, and highly prejudical
to the defense."
The state contends that Mrs. Banks
was a co-defendant in the murder
trial and that it was proper to show
by evidence the possession of weapons,
other than the one with which the
killing was done.
Young alleges in his affidavit that
the bailiff said, "He's guilty all right."
to which Young replied, in effect,
"We have no right to talk."
The state holds that a Juror cannot
impeach his own verdict by his own
statement, that corroboration is
lacking, and that Young was an alter
nate Juror, and did not participate
in the verdict.
Miami, Fla., police recovered a
stolen automobile recently In exactly
one minute.
