J., July 2.?A jury of seven men and live women convicted John Hughes Curtis, Norfolk, Va., boat builder, today of aiding the kidnapers of the Lindbergh baby and preventing their capture. They recommended mercy. Curtis was returned to the- jail where he has languished for six weeks to await sentence July 11 by Judge AdAm (). Robbins. The maximum penalty under the indictment is three years imprisonment and $1,000 fine. Joseph Lanigan, assistant attorney general, who assisted the prosecution, announced that application probably would be made on the date of sentence to increase the prisoner's bond from $10,000 to $lf>,000. Curtis, whose courtroom mien has been almost nonchalant throughout the six days of the trial, stared straight ahead of him as the verdict of "guilty" was pronounced by the foreman. Mrs. Lelia Alpnugh His face was a mask. Rut Sandusky Curtis, his younger brother, dropped his mouth open in apparent astonishment. George, the older brother, who gave Curtis an encouraging slap on the back as he entered the courtroom, also was visibly v affected. Colonel Charles A.

The one holding out for itequilLal joined tho others after thyy agreed to include the recommendation for mercy in the verdict. As the jurors were polled in the court, all answered "guilty", but W. ruv tr: * c . * P. Harrison said "guilty with recommendations for mercy." The defense announced it will file an appeal at once. "This is the greatest blot ever on Jersey justice," declared Lloyd Fisher, defense lawyer. "The jury doesn't know what Mr. Curtis was convicted of. All it did was to decide Colonel Lindbergh is still the most popular man in the country." "It is a just verdict," said the prosecution. l>eatt) of Mrs. Smith Mrs. .Susan Smith, aged seventytwo years, widow of the late W. M.

Woman Killed By Automobile Mrs. Lizzie Sudds, 77-year-old white woman of near Bethune, was struck by an automobile and fatally injured Friday afternoon, while walking on the highway ten miles north of Camden on the Camden-Charlotte road. The car was driven by H. S. Waddell, Jr., of -Sumter and was occupied by H. S. Waddell, ,Sr., and E. D. Sydnor, also of Sumter. Accompanying the old lady was her 8-year-old granddaughter, Melita Baker. Testimony of all witnesses, including the grandchild was to the effect that Mrs. Sudds, partly blind and deaf, became excited at the approach of the car and stepped in front of the moving machine. She was brought to the hospital here and expired soon after. A coroner's jury held an inquest Saturday morning and exonerated the car owners from all blame. One Judge Walter E. Moore, who some time ago freed all the other | men living around Sylva, N. C.t j identified as the bandits who killed a Greenville policeman in a gun battle there, consistently set free Ray Bailey jwho has been lying wounded in a 'Sylva hospital since the killing, on habeas corpus proceedings. The Govlernor of North Carolina had honored j the requisition of the governor of South Carolina for the man who is under indictment at Greenville and ordered Ray Bailey turned over to the officer of the Palmetto governor. Judge Moore did not merely decide the habeas corpus motion, but decided the guilt or innocence of the man who made affidavit that he was shot in North Carolina in a quirrel at the same time the Greenville officer was murdered. The South Carolina officials announced after the ruling that they wol ask the North Carolina supreme court to review the action of the Sylva judge. The Bailey family is large and rampant in that section. Clyde R. Hooy. defended the prisoner. % Broadus Hughes, 3f> years old, was se ntenced to six years in the peniten- ; t .ary by Judge Featherstone at i Greenwood, for shooting into six negroe> ranging from 3 to 81 years of age, wounding two seriously and four painfully. One of his witnesses, a negro boy, said the six victims shot themselves. A 14-yenr-old boy, sitting in an automobile before a Darlington drug, store, eating ice cream, had the middle finger of his left hand shattered by a stray ballet coming through the automobile top from so far away that the shot was not audible there. Banks Vexed By 9 New Check Tax 9 Charlotte, June 29.?The federal J government's new two-cent tax on 1^9 checks drawn against bank accounts '^9 means a headache to bankers as well ..SH as to customers, if you believe statements from Charlotte financiers. It sounds simple enough?two cents B for every check written?but when B whittled down a little, the new law ^9 offers considerable entanglements B* some of which have not been satisfactorily smoothed out yet. <^9 To balance the budget and help B maintain top-heavy governmental ex- -j penditures, congress passed the law, j which went into effect June 21." 8 B1 remains in force untSb July 1, 133A>--JB The added bookkeeping will neces* j sitate many hours extra work aUh*_ end of the months, or in between i 1 times, on the part of the banks' cler- i ical forces. One banker was heard to moan that it meant an all-night session with Burroughs on the last night , of the month. Probably aJl Charlotte banks will count all negotiable checks at the end of the months and add two cents for ij each one, instead of adding two cents to the amount of the check as a sur- 9 charge before it is charged to the .9 account. If the collecting is done at 9 the end of the month there is pos- ^9 sibility bhat the account will be bo iowereo that there is not enough ie** to cover the i^voi; that belong to the | government. ^^B If a person has $100 on deposit 9 in a checking account* and gives a check for $100, the bank can tech- 9 nically return check marked, ficient funds," for there is two cents lacking. Because of the Insignifa*11* 9 amount involved, however, the ban?* J* may be guided by other conside?** .9 tions in waiving their technical rights. ;jB If a check is written for wluca.;! there is insufficient funds #on account, the regular 50 cents penaity will ap- 9 ply here, but it is not thought that _9 the two-cent tax will be added, A customer can obtain money fro? his account at the bank by signing a counter receipt, which escapes two pennies taxation.
