Supreme Court Upholds Death For Lenior Negro Tribunal Fails To Find Error In Trial Court Sentence Ruling RALEIGH, April 10 — (JP) — The gtate Supreme Court Wednesday ..pheld the death sentence of Alli “ d King. Lenoir county Negro convicted of the murder of Mrs. Davmond D. Hardy near Snow Hill L September 9._ The court’s ruling of no error utomattcally set the new death 7,.e for April 26. King, who also was Indicted on h „es of criminal assault and r* -larv in connection with Mrs. Hardy's death, appealed to the high ou-i on the grounds that evidence 'as admitted at his trial relating * a second charge of criminal assault whereas he was being tried onlv for murder. Associate Justice J. Wallace Win borne held, however, that the defense contention was untenable because the evidence showing as sault tended also to show that a homicide was committed in rela tion tc another capital felony—mur uer* _— i_,i_ Ill SLU.ll a cubic -is not put to the proof of premedi tation and deliberation.” Evidence was introduced at King's trial to show that King con fessed to officers that he went to the Hardy home, cut a rear screen and entered the home with the in tention of ravishing Mrs. Hardy. He later changed this story, court records show, and told officers he vas hired by Hardy to kill his wife and that Hardy was present when the crime was committed. An investigation showed, how ever. that Hardy spent the night in Kinston at a club, and discovered his wife’s body when he returned home about dawn the following morning. In another opinion, the court found error and remainded back to the lower court for a retrail the case of Clarence B. Lewis and Har ry Mills, both o.f Caldwell county who were convicted of assault on a female with intent to commit crim inal assault. The two youths were sentenced to four years in prison, but the presiding juctgt later amended judgment to allow committment for only two years, with the re maining two years suspended on good behavior ana ovner provisions. OPA ECONOMIST NURSES SORE JAW Fort Worth Attorney Sends Left Jab Following Brief Argument WASHINGTON, April 10—(£>)—An OPA economist nursed a sore ja i Wednesday after a brush with a lawyer for Texas cattlemen over ceiling prices on livestock. Leonard Rhodes, OPA meat branch economist, took a left jab to the jaw. It was thrown by Joe Montague of Fort Worth, attorney for the Texas and Southwest Cattle Raisers association. In Elevator It all happened Tuesday as the two started to step into an elevator in the House office building after a ceiling price hearing. Montague told newsmen Rhodes j accused him of having delivered! “below the belt” blows at OPA at the hearing and— j "He almost punched a finger in \ my eye as he pointed his accusa- j tion at me. "I have never hit anyone below '■ the belt in any sense of the word so^I simply gave him one to the; jaw. I helped him straighten up and that’s all there was to it.” Rhodes Side Rhodes side: “Some of his (Montague’s) state ments before the committee were false and I did not get a chance before the committee to disprove him. I suppose he struck me be cause of what I said about his testimony as we entered the eleva tor.” Rhodes contended that Montague had testified OPA in fixing slaught er quotas in 1945, had used 1940 figures for a basis. In reality, he said, OPA used 1944 figures. After the altercation Rhodes descended in the elevator and Mon tague remained behind with as sociates who had accompanied him to the hearing. — BOXCAR MIGRATORS MOVE AGAIN TO NEW FIELDS BY BOXCAR MERCED, Calif., April 10—(j*P)— Ray E.
