| 295 | In Murder Defense: Forsyth Man To Take Stand FORSYTH (Special) - Cecil May, 25, of Forsyth, will take the witness stand Thursday morning in his own defense to a first degree murder charge, and it is believed the case will go to the jury early Thursday afternoon. Douglas Mahnkey, attorney for May, said May's testimony will bear out the contention he acted in self-defense. May is charged in the death of Lorenzo "Bud" Pulley, 37, of Forsyth, his half-brother, last Nov. 26. The state rested its case Wednesday afternoon. Coroner Walter Cobb testified for the state that a shot from a .22 rifle was the cause of Pulley's death. He said the bullet entered Pulley's body at the left breast. Sheriff Theron Gideon testified that May told him Pulley had a shovel at the time of the shooting. Mrs. Nellie Atkins of Yellville, Ark. testified that she entered May's home with Pulley and Paul Goodall of Walnut Shade and the latter's son Jesse. May, she said, was in bed and the incoming party had been drinking and brought beer. She stated further that May asked them to turn out the lights and leave, but that they wanted to stay. So, she said. May himself decided to leave and started for the door with his .22. She said that she and Pulley followed him toward the door and that he yelled "Stand bark or I'll shoot" and that he did then shoot. Jesse Goodall's testimony was similar to that of Mrs. Atkins but Paul Goodall testified that he left when he was asked to do so. The defense opened its case by putting on three witnesses from Yellville. Ark., who testified as to Mrs. Atkins' general reputation for morality. | May, Cecil Ray (I1658)
