Curtis^Convicted in
Lindbergh Hoax
Flemington, N. 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. Lindbergh, who
ress in the trial and remained in the
court a- long as testimony continued,
was not present.

It was reported the jury stood 11

and ten to two on the sixth. 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.

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.

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. This rece?P j
is not negotiable, however.
Travelers' checks, cashiers' check*
nnd personal checks of state or nn?* 9
icip&l officers are taxable, althoflf? 9
state and municipal goventf^H
checks are not subject to 9
