FORTY YEAR SEN FOR P ilonea Pnth Youth Convicted In Abbe ville of Crininial Assault. Defenise to Appeal to Supreme Court. Abbeville, April 10.-Kenneth Gos sett, a 17-year-old youth, will have to serve what is pracletally a life sen tense In the state penitentiary for criminal assault of a 16-year-old girl, a native of Abbeville. After being out for four hours and 55 minutes, the jury returned a verdict of guilty of criminal assault at 6 o'clock this af ternoon, with recommendation to the mercy of the court. -Judge Sense im mediately pronounced the penalty of the law, 10 years imprisonment at hard labor. The finding of the jury and the pronouncement of the sen tence were heard In stoical allence -by the youth. Attorneys for the defendant, who had fought the case bitterly since last Monday In the face of 'public indigna tion against the crime, appealed for a new trial- on the grounds that the court was illegally constituted and the --ire was not drawn according to the law. Their motion was overruled. They -will appeal to the state supreme court. In passing sentence Judge Sease said that he presumed that the jury recommended mercy because of the extreme youth of Kenneth Oossett. le hoped that the lesson, which was taught in the court this week, will have a deterrent effect on others who would commit like crimes. 1le said that, in passing the sentence, he gave what was in effect a life of im .prisonmen-t. He hoped that the pris oner would Lponder on the wrong le had done. Th'ere was no demonstration -when the verdict was announced. When it became known that the jury had agreed, the court house began slowly to fill up and there was a hush as the jury filed out and announced its Ver dict. Tlhe argumnnts were brilliant ef forts. Homer ). Blackwell, of Iaturens, solicitor of tihe Eighth circuit, opened for the state. lle was followed by .\l. L. Bonham of Anderson and his son, Proctor A. Ionham of Greenville, of Counsel for the defense, George Pell Timmerman of Lexington, solicitor of the Eleventh judicial circuit, closed for the state. The case went to the jury at 1:05 Wo'lock this afternoon and the Helps Sick Women Cardul, the woman's tonic, helped Mrs. Wil liam Eversole, of Hazel Patch, Ky. R~e2d what she writes: "I had a general breaking-down of my health. I was in bed for weeks, unable to get up. I had such a weakness and dizziness, . and the pains were very severe. A frIend told me I had tried every thing else, why niot Cardul?... I did, and soon saw it was helping me .. . After 12 bottles, I am strong and well." SARDUI -The Woman's Tonic Do you feel weak, diz 2ye worn-out? Is your lackof good health caused fiom any of the com ,MplaInts so common to women? Then why not give Cardul a trial? It should surely do for you Swhat it has done for so many thousands of other MMwomen who stiffered-it Sshould help you back to health. Ask some lady friend who has taken Cardud. She will tell you how It helped her. Try Cardul. All Druggists 'M ~L8'sP TENCE ENNETH GOSSETT verdict wa. returned at 6 o'clock. The jury was tied -up so long be cause It -was divided as to whether it should find a verdict of guilty or of guilty with a recommendation to the mercy of the court. .Mrs. M. T. iGossett, mother of the defendant, held u-p throughout the trial but 'when sentence had been passed upon him she threw her arms around her boy and kissed him. 'Ils father 'threw his arms around him and cried. The defendant's father and mother, when homeward bound in an autono bile, passed him as he was being car ried to the jail. ' The defendant left for Columbia on the 7:10 train in the custody of tho United States deputy marshal, Charles .J. Bruce, Deputy Sheriff Cann, and Special Deputy Burt Ferguson. About a dozen peolple were at the station, among them two brothers of the pros ecutrix. * HONOt ROLL. * * Laurens City Schools. * * *5s e se S . o *...** e e Eleventh Grade-Highly Distinguish ed: Minteith Caine, E lizabeth Senn, Edna Riddle; Distinguished: Sarah Dunlap, iMary Gasque, Harriette alughes, Nelle Long, Mary Roper, Lols Taylor, Annie Laurie Thom'pson.
