Spaulding, who already is serving a life sentence, was convicted Thursday in the 1978 stabbing death of Hal Roscoe Simmons, a fellow inmate at Central Prison. The jury, which began sentencing deliberations Thursday after convicting Spaulding. had to decide whether he would be sentenced to die in the state's gas chamber or given a life prison sentence. When polling revealed that the sentence was nor unanimous, Martin ordered the jury back to the jury room for an additional 10 minutes to see if they c<Xild reach agreement.

Spaulding's father, now deceased, was presented on the witness stand as exceedingly cruel to his family.

Testifying were Gladys Peirce. Trudy Lee Oxendine, J.B. Spaulding and Josephine Woodell. All grew up with the Spaulding family in the Union Chapel community.
