Georgia contends in its murder case
against Hai*y K. Sligh, of Ocilla,
Ga., and two West Virginia men are
those of Hurry Irving, of Huntington,
W. Va., were exhumed today and
identified as those of a "young male
person."
The identification was made by Dr.
C. S. Breed in and Dr. E. C. Mh rrott,
who represented the state of South
Carolina at the exhumation.
Sligh and Carl urui James Hoover
are charged with murdering Loving
rtnd burning his body in the Sligh
home at Ocilla, (la., the night of September
27, 1027, in conspiracy to defraud
insurance companies.
The body was buried as that of
Sligh arid an attempt made to collect
on insurance policies carried on
his life.
Sligh was later found in Los Angeles,
Calif., tried and acquitted of
the charges to defraud. His story at
the trial wus that he met three youths
on the road near his 'home and took
one of them home with him to spend
the night. The next night, he said,
he was uwakened to find the youth
standing over him with a revolver,
demanding his money and a diamond
ring.
He said he grappled with the boy
choked hi in and in the struggle overturned
a lamp which set fire to the
house. As he fled from the burning
building, he said, he was attacked by
the youth's companions and struck a
heavy blow on the head. lie said the
next he rememtiered he was in Cos
Angeles.
A letter written by Harry Loving
from Ocilla to his mother, Mrs. B.
K. Powers at Huntington, W. Va., led
to a search for him in Ocilla and
caused offcers to believe the West
Virginia youth had been killer! and
his body burned in the Sligh home.
Sligh and the two Hoovers who
were companions of Loving on a
hitchhiking trip were arrested and
charged with his murder. They have
been held in jail since June.
The exhumation was made at the
request of Solicitor General R. S. Foy
of the fifth judicial district of Georgia.
The remains after examination hero
today, were transported to the University
of Georgia for further expert
examination.
An Unusual Ruling
Texarkuna, Texas, Sept. 2.?Death
at the hands of an enraged husband
is "accidental" insofar as life insurance
claims are concerned, Federal
Judgo W. L. Estes ruled.
The judge awarded Mrs. Lottie Galloway,
widow of a Laneville, Texas,
physician, double indemnity insurance
amounting to $2.1,450 for the death
of her husband, who was slain by
Morgom Compton. Evidence was introduced
to show that I)r. Galloway
had made "improper advances" to
Mrs. Compton, who was his patient.
The insurance company contended
that Compton had warned Dr. Galloway
before the fatal shooting and
therefore the physician's death was
not entitled to double indemnity.
Lose Lambs From Overdosing
Kidgeway. Aug. 23? A"$heep raiser
of this section lecently lost a number
of fine lambs by over dosing on
copper sulphate solution commonly
given for the removal of stomach
worms in sheep. Feeling that the
lambs had practically reached maturity,
the same dose was administered
i them as was given the older sheep
with the aforesaid result. Sheep
raising having become an industry
of the state, this is given as a warning
to other raisers who might make
the same mistake. The dose prescribed
by the United States department
of animal husbandry i.- three ounces
of 1 per cent solution of blue stone
to full grown sheep and half that
quantity to lambs.
