M-year-old baby specialist, today was toDvictwl of the alleged "poison whiskey highball death *?f Dr. John Preaton* Kwmedy, 11-yearmold Greenwood aurgeon, by a jury which fixed her punishment at hard labor. The jury deliberated 13 hours and b'J minutes, reporting at 10:.r>7 a. m. Obviously shocked, the woman physician heard the verdict read with her hands clenched in her lap*. She ti ied to smile as she arose to go to a waiting room, but broke into sobs as she swept out of the court, followed bj Women relatives and her attorneys. Half an hour later, however, she was composed anil smiling as she returned to stand before presiding Judge S. F. Davis for sentence. "The jury hus found you guilty of murder and fixed your punishment," the judge said gravely. "It now becomes my duty to sentence you to spend the rest of your natural life at hard labor in the stale penitentiary. "That is the' verdict of the jury. I have no discretion in the matter. The judge asked if she had any^ thing to say. The smile suddenly gone from her lips. Dr. 'Dean looked at her attorneys, then shook her head, keeping silent. "You are under a $10,000 bond, so 1 am going to let you go home until 2 o'clock," the judge said kindly. Deputies had claimed the prisoner immediately' after the verdict was read. When her attorneys served notice a new trial would be sought, Judge Davis told them to appear at 2'p. m. to present their motion. As the defendant turned away, Mrs. Bessie Barry Kennedy, widow of the dead surgeon, who charged Dr. Dean with breaking up her home, came into the court room and flgng her arms around the neck of District Attorney Arthur Jordan. "It's the happiest moment of my life," said Dr. Barney Kennedy, brother of the dead man. Members of the Kennedy family shook hands warmly with the jurors. Several of the jurymen said they "hated to send a woman to prison for life, but we couldn't do otherwise under the instructions given UA>' The jury had boon told that conviction must carry either a sentence j j of death or life imprisonment.

Finch was struck in the forehead with an axe handle by Miller last Thursday I morning but he lived until Monday when paralysis set in and he passed away. His skull was fractured by the force of the blow and Finch remained in a critical condition up to the time of his death. An inquest was held by Coroner Hegler on Monday night and the. jury decided that the victim died as the4! result of the blow indicted by Miller.: <'( r-i iernh'-p my-t.ry -uri ou::ds ?:.? ! k..l ng oi 1' men a- tin* motive ft.j- ; < ( -l;t\;ng has n?f lihuiiir quite < lear. | a - u.-r. tra <qf. < s bcluvo that the | tw .1 negroes had trouble b\ei a u< matt.

I Other Feed Crops May Replace Corn Although the 193-1 corn-hog con-j tract generally prohibits any increase' in the total acreage of feed crops other than corn .or hay over such acreage for 1932 or 1933, whichever is higher, some producers under cer- i tain conditions can increase feed crop acreage, it has been ruled by the corn-: hog section of the Agricultural Ad-j justment Administration. A producer who signs the corn-hog | contract may increase his acreage planted to feed crops, such as oats or barley, in 1934 above his total acreage of such crops for either 1932 or: 1933, providing he decreases by the same number of acres the maximum numbers of acres he is permitted under the contract to plant to corn in 1934. For example, if John Doe is permitted to plant a maximum of *0 acres of corn in 193-1, he may reduce this maximum to 7U acres and plant an extra 10. acres to feed crops, above his feed crop acreage for either of the past two years. Farm crops to be counted as feed crops are oats, ba^cy, rye, grain sorghum, soybeans, cowpeas and all other crops which are customarily or frequently used by farmers in feeding livestock. This interpretation liberalizing the contract was made because in many cases the crop rotation system of the farmer makes it desirable for him to increase his acreage of feed crops this V?ar. The storm damage at High Point, N. C.. large furniture manufacturing city, is e.-timated at more than a miilion dollars. The city was without outside communication until late Monday.
