Woman Poisoner Is
Sentenced For Life
Greenwood, Mis*., March d.?Dr.
Sarah Ruth Dean. 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.

Negro Jailed On
Murder Charge!
Sam Miller. colored, was arrest*-1 j
Monthly night following an inquest,
for the killing of Harry Finch, also I
colored, the homicide taking place I
near Heath Springs. 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.:

i- rot, the ea-e but tile officers hav. ;
found some facts to substantiate th 1 - !
theory. It is -aid that the two men
had had trouble before Thursday
when the fata! blow was struck.
At the inquest .John Zeak Avas thei
only witness called besides Hr. Moore,
who attended the injure<l negro. Zeak
testified that ho carried Finch to the
do< tor's office at Heath Springs an i
that ho had driven his mules fast to
keep Miller from assaulting Finer,
again It was said that Miller picked
up rocks and threw at Finch as the
latter was being carried to the doctor
The case was brought Ix-fore the
grata! juty before they adjourned an :
they indicted Miller for murder. lb
said that he believed ho could obtain
bond -o that he was not tried at the
term of court whah ju-t ended. The
law pro\eitts the court from trying a
defendant or. n murder charge unbhe
i.a- been arraigne<l three daypreviously
ar.d the defendant refused
to waive this right.
It is expected that there will V>some
developments in this case soon
and more light on the motive for ire
killing will become known.
Finch is a negro who came to this
county recently to work on a road
construction job. I^ancaster News. 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.
