Jan. 26,?Bll^'tl?y tugboats sidled up tu the linet^, Loviathuu at 1'ier 4 ilohokfii yesterday, tooted and fumed importunity for an hour or ho, and then kidded U?? big ship down the Hudson river and into tain-soaked New York harbor on l.h? lust voyage tHut the decrepit vessel ever will make, % ' > The leviathan nailed at 4:38 p. m. for a scrap heap neat' the Firth of Forth, Scotland, and some day a British shell, screaming over a no man's land of the next war, may bur a chunk of metal from the ship that Germany launched so proudly on the eve of the last World war. During the war. after the American government had seised it, the Levla- ' than transported 96,804 soldiers to France and brought hack 93,746. Then it failed miserably in private service, partly because prohibition tnade American ships unattractive to tourists. Before heading for the open sea the Leviathan was to stop for about six hours at Stateu Island to take on 2,000 tous of fuel oil. The big ship which Oermauy bftllt and christened the Steamship Vaterland at a cost of $26,000,000 for two trans-Atlantic voyages slid Into the salty ocean for the first time since September 20, i?a4, wnen the Uuiiou States lines gave up as a had job the task of operating a vessel which was losing $100,000 every time It sailed. A labor dispute which had delayed the sailing since Sunday was settled at a conference aboard ship. British seamen had balked at accepting wages lower fhan those paid American sailors signed for the voyage. It was agreed finally that their pay and bonus would be based on the American seamen's wage scale. ,Captain John W. Binks, the Leviathan'* British master, pronounced bis ship in first-rate condition for the voyage. In the past four years the Leviathan has been a rotting hulk, rust streaking He white superstructure, paint Crumbling from Its black hull, rats squealing over its rusty decks. Iu that time only its engines have been cared for, oiled regularly so that the Leviathan always was ready to sail on 48 hours' notice. It has coat the line which owns it about $250,000 annually, mostly for insurance, Just to keep it at the pier. Its value as junk was estimated at $1,500,000. The oaken name plate of the Leviathan, 20 feet long and bearing the --ahlpUr?title--in gold- leal-lallera on a black background, was hung proudly over the bar of a Hoboken saloon last night. Deny Appeal Is Planned Columbia, Jan. 26.?Defense attorneys for the h1 x convicts condemned to electrocution for the murder of Captain Olln Sanders denied today they planned to appeal the death sentences to the state supreme court. "It is absolutely untrue," J, A. Hutto, attorney for George Wingard, said, "We have made no plans and I don't know of any, and I've talked to practically all of the other lawyers." "The story was unfounded so far as I am concerned and I don't know where such information might have come from," D. M. Winter, attorney for William B. Woods, said. Denials were also issued by Kenneth Kreps, J. E. Gee, E. U. Ross and Harold Selgler, the other attorneys in the case reached immediately for a statement. It was pointed out, however, that attorneys not interested in the case during trial might possibly perfect an appeal. Representative Blgelow, Democrat of Ohio, would have a constitutional amendment to prohibit the drafting of Americana for military service in foreign lands. Frank and Anthony DISiasio, father and son, were executed at the Massachusetts state prison Tuesday, for the "torch murder" of Daniel Crowley, a Boston laborer.

Payne And Turner To Pay With Lives AsheVille. N. C? Jan. 29.?A Jury convicted Bill Payne and Wash Turner, North Carolina outlaws, of first degree murder tonight for the Blaying of George Penn, a highway patrolman, aat August 22. The verdict which automatically carried death sentences for the desperadoes, was returned at 10:16 p. m. The Jury received the case at 7:16, but took an hour for supper. A large crowd was in the courtroom as the prisoners, closely guarded by patrolmen, were brought in a few minutes before the Jury W. B. Cathey, the Jury foreman, returned separate verdicts as to each prisoner. Payne, the first to hear the verdict, and Turner were calm as they looked upon the Jury. Turner's former wife and his sistern-law cried openly. Judge Alley thanked the jury for ts services and retired to his chamber to set the execution Hate" The trial began Tuesday and the state concluded its testimony yesterday. Its star witness was collegetrained Sheriff I>aurence E. Brown, who testified Payne and Turner admitted killing the patrolman, 25-yearold George Penn, and re-enacted the crime for officers. The defense did not offer any testimony. Pftyne and Turner, serving long terms for bank robbery, led a daring break with seven other prisoners from the Caledonia prison farm in the eastern part of the state a year ago, the pair was trapped by G-men early this month. During their months of freedom the desperadoes terrorized the state with ' bank robberies and kidnaplngs. A dozen times officers thought they were on the bandits' trail, but Payne and Turner always eluded them. Payne, middle-aged and stoopedshouldered, lost the reserve which had characterized his demeanor during the five- day trlalt and tears coursed down his cheeks during Judge Alley's charge. Intermittently he murhis side throughout the trial. Turner, however, showed jio sign of emotion or nervousness. He talked with highway patrolmen and chatted with his smartly-dressed former wife. The defense attorneys, in their ar guments, contended thq state had not proved premeditation, which Is neccessary for a first degree conviction. They argued the defendants had the right to shoot to defend themselves. Solicitor Zeb V. Nettles, chief of the prosecution staff, argued the defendants had expressed the intention to shoot it out rather than be captured. This, he said, in itaelf, was premeditation, since they were heavily armed. Payne arwl Turner, alias Jack Borden, escaped from prison February 15 last. With seven other long-termers, they obtained a pistol from a releas ed prisoner, overpowered camp officials, raided the prison's arsenal, kidnaped two officials and made a getaway in a laundry truck. I>ater they seized two other auto mobiles, picked up another hostage and dashed 400 miles through eastern North Carolina with officers hot in pursuit. The hostages were released unharmed 12 hours later, near Southern Pines, and from then on the trail was lost. The 35-year-old Turner began his career of crime in San Diego, Cal.. where he was arrested in 1921 lor grand larceny. He was arrested in I El PaBo, Texas, the next year for violation of the Dyer act. His next brush with the law was in Greensboro, N. C. He was arrestjed there in March 1927, for violation J of the Harrison act and larceny. Next he was arrested in Raleigh for storebreaking and sentenced to eight <j years. He escaped soon afterward and was recaptured in Knoxville, Tenn. P rH Back in prison he was convicted on : an old charge of stealing an automo- \ bile and Ave to eight years were add- j ed to his sentence. In 1924 he was_j sentenced to 23 *years for bank rob- ^ bery in Rowan county. Payne, 41, first went to prison in 1924 to serve a three-year sentence 1 (for stealing an automobile. Later h$ ^ (Was sent up for bank robbery and 1 other charges. Still later he drew a J 20 to 25 year sentence for bis second bank robbery. He bad escaped twice before breaking from Caledonia prl son farm. He is a native of Forsyth county.

Prince, chief of the Division of Markets of the South Carolina Extension service. These poultry sales are welcome cash to the producers at a time when they need It most. Ten of the twelve cars were loaded through cooperative sales arranged by the county farm and home agents and through these sales the prices secured were in some cases as much as four cents per pound higher than those being paid by local or independent buyers. The Division of Markets secured prices in advance for the sales. 1 *"It Is anticipated that the poultry movement from the state will continue fairly heavy through the next several weeks, says Mr. Prince. "Some counties are moving eggs also through these cooperative schedules though the peak of the egg movement will be six or eight weeks later." 81nce these cooperative sales produce much revenue they are still demanded by the farmers, Mr. Prince states, although more local and Independent buyers are entering the field to help move the poultry.
