Some fifty dollars worth of gasoline, cigarettes, tubes and general articles were stolen and it was whilo the two were peddling cigarettes in the Virginia city that the police became suspicious and placed them under arrest. They admitted their guilt and the sheriff was notified. Entrance to the filling station was made by drawing a staple. tm Sheriff McLeod received warranty* for each ofcthe two men Wednesday from the state reformatory at Elmyra, New York, stating that they were wanted at that place for violating a parole, yrhere they were serving a sentence.

This, year lambs sold on the Richmond market at 16c to 17c for tops in May and brought only 13c to 15c in June and July, In Order to get lambs on the early market they must be pushed from the time they are dropped. I urge you farmers to plant rye, oats or barley; 'or the ewes and lambs to graze this winter and spring, before grass comes, and this will help to give the lambs a start. .

Twenty minutes later, the judge reached the court room and wilh every bit of space taken up by a crowd which had quickly gathered with the announcement that a verdict had been reached, the jury filed in and the verdict was read. Thomas, the defendant, received the verdict calmly. Proctor Bonham of counsel for the defense, immediately served notice pf a motion for a new trial. The motion will be heard next Saturday morning at 9 o'clock, by a special- arrangement by which court will be kept open through next week, though it was scheduled to have closed today. ' J Trial of the case was begun last Tuesday Coining and had continued throughout the week, final testimony having been adduced only this morning. Arguments were begun immediately afterward and a charge to the Jury of 20 minutes preceded the final phase as that body filed out tohight at 8 o'clock. Evidence in the case brought out by the state showed that insurance payable to the defendant amounting to nearly $34,000 had been carried on the boy, for whose death he was tried. Poison was reported found in the stomach by a Clemsop chemist; but analysis by Charleston chemists of other vital organs revealed no tracfor of poteen. THe state also brought out that following Thomas' reported drowning of his son, he went six miles for help without stopping at any of the eleven houses, which be; passed on the way to Honea Path. Thomas who took the stand Friday expressed his deep affection for the boy and told the court that he had fallen into the river at a treacherous point and had drowned, while, he, not being able to swim, was powerless to save him. , Sentence will be held up pending the argument for a new trial. dairying.
