HIGH COURT AFFIRMS VERDICT Tom Ponton Loses Appeal for New Hearing. e The appeal of Tom Poston of this ( county was dismissed by the supreme t) court at Columbia yesterday and the o circuit court verdict upheld in opinion a handed down by the appelate. e Poston was convicted of man- s< slaughter on a charge of the murder it of J. P. Miller, an electrician of Kingstree, and from this verdict he appealed to the supreme court. Three main 0 grounds were set forward in the d appeal?that the defendant wan not ^ allowed three day's inspection of the indictment before trial, that a motion t >f continuance should have been grant- p ed and that a new trial should have been granted. The court does not sustain any of the three pleas and affirms the lower court verdict. Poston shot and killed Mr. Miller on * the road from Lake City to Kings tree, 7 near Cades, following a collision between the automobiles driven by Poston and Miller. Mr. Miller's car was standing on the side of the road jj and the machine driven by Poston j p crashed into it, according to the: a evidence, and Poston was quoted as 0 having said that "Miller tried to get; hard and I just shot hell out of him." 1 iL a 1 i acnooj g KINGST I FRIDATf ^ Jack Ward Attra f Farce Con I "Nothi i 3?Acts of F 1 THE SI 3E UNDER AUS | TICKE ?
