County State's Atty. Richard T.
Carter annonnced that he had no
case. This action came, however,
after Adams had served 18 year
as part of a life sentence in the

the murder of his wife. At that
time lie was only 10 years old, and
pleaded guilty to the charges. His
case was recently reopened when
he filed a writ of error lu connection

dered a new trial.
