"The funds realized through the Advance made possible the sending of 239 missionaries overseas, in cluding some on a three-year basis, and enabled the church to continue with a large scale building pro gram at noire and abroad. "This remarkable response of the church to the Advance appeal, demonstrates that the missionary passion still burns in the hearts of Its people. The church's mission ary leaders are grateful.

He suspended another sentence of two years for each of the two brothers on condition they remain on good behaviour for five years following the expiration of their prison terms. Jerry, 26, drew the prison term on one count of a charge of as sault with a deadly weapon. This was in the case in which State Highway Patrolman Joe Murrill's auto was struck by a rifle bullet. His suspended sentence was on the count of firing on the car car rying Deputies Sheriff Max Coch ran, Wade McDaniel and John Kerley. Oliver, 33, husband and father of six children, drew the prison term on the count of firing on the car bearing the deputies. His suspended sentence was on the count involving the shooting at the state highway patrol car. The judge mado the suspended sentence consecutive to the actual prison term.

Carpenter,' Deputy Cochran and Policeman Jerry Rogers also testified. I He also questioned both the de fendants regarding their previous records, military service records, occupation, and family status. Before, passing the sentence. which was the maximum for the charge on which they were con victed, Judge Pless told the broth ers, "I think you are exceedingly fortunate that the iurv showed mercy in convicting you of a misdemeanor." He warned them that "if you continue in a life of crime which I believe you will that you en danger the lives of others, and consequently your own." The judge told the men also that "you can make more money more spendable money cutting pulp than you can out of crime." The main satisfaction in life, he continued, is derived from having done the duty which the human being was put on earth to perform. in his opening statements, he declared that anyone who fires on an officer to avoid detection for a misdemeanor certainly shows a "bad sense of values." He warned that such action could lead to the gas chamber. The judge also told the defen dants that they had a choice be tween serving their current sen tences and serving four full years (which would be the case in viola tion of the conditions of the sus pended sentence); between free dom and liberty, or life in prison.

Pless denied a motion and argu ments of the defense to set aside the verdicts as to one count ' in each case. Officer Rogers told the court that he found Iwo slicks of wood, dnd a rock in the cell occupied by Jerry Smith and a penknife on Jerry's person prior to the trial. On cross examination, he said the cell con tained bunks for other prisoners. Sheriff Middleton told the court he had been fired on once while he was searching for a still near the Smith home hut that he did not see who did the shooting. He said he had . known Jerry Smith for about ten years, but didn't "know much about Oliver." .Jerry Smith told the' court in reply to the judge's questions, that he had been sentenced once on a liquor violation, twice for fighting. Oliver, when questioned regard ing his previous record, said he had served a year in the state of Washington on a second-degree burglary conviction in 1937, and later 19 days on a disorderly con duct count. Each had good records in mili tary service. Jerry served four and one-half years in the Army during World War II, Oliver a shorter period after the war. The Smith's, tried last Wednes day on two counts each of secret I assault with a deadly weapon, were found guilty Thursday by the jury of assault with a deadly weapon. The jurors, all men, first return ed to the eourt room with verdicts of guilty of assault and battery. However, Judge Pless sent them out again to arrive at another ver dict, explaining that they could not arrive at a finding in assault and battery. ' He said they could decide on whether one or both of the defen dants were guilty of secret assault with a deadly weapon, with assault with a deadly weapon, or not guilty. The final verdict was returned about two hours after the jury had left the court to start considering the testimony.
