Despite the fact that the jury was out for almost an hour, most of the spectators remained to hear the vcrdict. Circuit Judge C. J. Ramage who is at present an acting associate justice of the supreme court presided at the trial. John "Spot" Mozingo reputedly the nations youngest law maker headed the corps of three attorneys who won the case. His assistants were Heyward Clarkson and Bill Hawkins. , "The State" was represented by J. Wiley Brown as solicitor and Paul 1'ittman and Oliver A. Rice. Besides being a member of the legislature, , Brown is an instructor in public speaking. The case was based on the alleged I murder of Claude Martin by Robert H. Norris.

Baker Hopes For Increase In University Budg< Claims Appropriation Must Be ] creased If Standards Are To Be Maintained Or. L. T. Baker, president of University commenting yesterday n| the University's appropriation as rec< mended by the Budget Commission sued the following statement. "It is highly important, if the st dard of training and achievement of University is to be maintained, that appropriation be raised above that recc mended to the legislature to at It approximate request." The University's request presented the Budget Commission for the v beginning July 1, 1935 amounted $238,485. This amount was reduced the Budget Commission to approximat $170,000. However, it is hoped that t will be raised to $200,000, thus allow an increase of 10 per cent, in the pr'oi sors' salaries. This increase would raise the salary a full professor from $2,287.50 to ah $2,700. In the year 1930, a full profes received $3,000. Most of the other penses would remain stationary. 1". K. C.
