nounced they thought conviction of
second degree murder covered the as
sault charges. It took only seven min
utes to arrive at a verdict in the three
assault charges.
This was done at 12:52 p. m. but
when the defense made a motion that
the jury be polled as to each of the
defendants on each of the charges one
of the jurors became confused in his
replies and declared he voted ‘not
guilty” on the assault charges. Judge
Barnhill then sent the jurors back
for further deliberations and recessed
for lunch.
On returning, the polling began
anew, requiring an hour and five min
utes time. Each of the jurors was ask
ed twenty-eight questions, making a
total of 336 questions asked. Hils was
necessary because each of the seven
defendants was under four indict
ments.
Before passing sentence, Judge
Barnhill questioned three of the de
fendants, Harrison, McLaughlin, Mc
Ginnis, as to their part in the shoot
ing of Chief Aderholt, which occurred
on June 7 and also asked them (lues-
tions about themselves and their fami
lies. None of these defendants had
* taken the witness stand.
When he had finished, he permitted
defense attorneys to argue for light
sentences for their clients, J. Frank
Flowers, chief of the defense counsel,
J. D. McCall and Thaddeus A. Adams,
making pleas.
The shooting of Chief Aderholt and
the other officers occurred June 7 at

I suppose that you all know that

Don’t buy a new car until you
have driven a New Ford. We have
people to tell us quite often: “If I
had just driven a New Ford before
I bought, it is the car I would have
bought.”
“And mother,” sobbed the unhap
py bride, “he-he threw his slippers
right across the room and told me
to go to the devil.”
“You did right, my dear child, in
coming right home to me.”
Did you ever stop to think about
safety in the car that you were go
ing to buy. The New Ford has a
i number of safety features that no
other low price car has.

quarters of the National Textile Work
ers union, strikers of the Loray mil
in Gastonia. 'Ihe police chief was fa
tally wounded and Gilbert, Roach and
Ferguson and George Carter, a de
fendant, were wounded in the firing
that followed the appearance of the
officers at the union grounds. The j
first effort to try the case was made ^
in Gastonia July 28 but a change of
venue was granted because of alleged
high feeling against the defendants.
The next trial in Charlotte was halted
when one of the jurors became sudden
ly insane on September 9 after the
case had entered its third week. Three
weeks were consumed in trial of the
case this time.
Immediately^ after convening this
morning, Judge Barnhill began his
charge to the jury and completed it in
two hours and fourteen minutes. The
jury was excused immediately and in
57 minutes the foreman knocked on
the door of the jury room and inform
ed Avery W. Johnson, deputy sheriff, ]
that a verdict had been reached.
The prisoners 'were brought in and
announcement as to the second degree
verdict was made.
The jury was composed of nine
farmers, a merchant, an automobile
assembly plant employee and a retired
merchant. In it were John L. Todd, E.
L. Moore, J. A. Helms, C. L. Hill,
Zeke Johnston, J. W. Elliott, J. T.
Faires, M. B. Flowe, J. B. Lawing,
H. T. McCauley, S. L. Manson, Jr., and
R. N. Keziah. , •
The defense, after giving notice of
appeal, was granted until January 15
to perfect it. The state then will have
until March 1 to make the reply.
A number of formal motions were
made by the defense, one of them be
ing a request for the verdict to be set
aside because “the sdlicitor rhade an
appeal as might be calculated to have
roused the emotions of the jury
against the defendants as to deny
them a fair trial.”
When called before Judge Barnhill,
McGinnis told him he was a Gastonia
boy and had never been in trouble with
'the exception of a fist fight. McLaugh-
jlin, after declaring he had never been
in court before, declared he fired his
gun after a man near the police auto
mobile fired a shot. He said he did
' not know how many guards there were
and that Hendricks was not on the
grounds at the time of ’the shooting.
Harrison showed the judge his arm
which still had marks from the bullet
1 wounds. Asked why he had come
I South, he said he “just wanted to look
[round.” He declared he took no part
j in the shooting. In arguing for a light
I .sentence. Attorney J. D. McCall de
clared he had never seen a case in
North Carolina in which there was so
much prejudice exhibited. “It is utter
ly impossible,” he said, “to get a fair
trial for these defendants at least in
I this end of the state.” He also ^•aid the
[newspapers had helped stir this pre
judice.
Judge Barnhill replied by saying
the only criticism that had been voiced
of his conduct of the trial was irt one
instance where some newspapers
charged he was admitting testimony
adverse to the defendants.
A statement issued tonight by In
ternational Labor defense, which di
rected the defense of the seven union
members, said the verdict “was a tem
porary victory of the Southern capi
talist class over the working class.”
