PAGE TWO SATTERFIELD WILL OBTAIN REPRIEVE Lawyers To Seek New Trial of Man Slated for Execu tion Friday Pnily Bureau, I In *tae Sir Walter Hotel, fly .1. Bnakervllle. Raleigh. Oet. 23. Rufus Satterfield, of Goldsboro, sentenced to ho electro cuted at Central Prison here Friday for the murder of Herbert Grice the night of October 22, 1033, in Golds boro, will probably be granted a re prieve between now and Friday, it was indicated here today by Commis sioner of Parole Edwin M. Gill. This reprieve, if granted , will be only to permit attorneys for Satterfield ot make a motion for a new trial under the Casey case opinion of the State Supreme Court, and will not take into consideration the merits of the case or any arguments presented at the hearing last week by attorneys for Satterfield, it was indicated. Since a motion for a new trial cannot he lodged until court convenes the first week in November, the reprieve is of course necessary. Satterfield was convicted of killing Grice, supposed to have been a close friend of his, from ambush. The prosecution attempted to show that Satterfield was in love with Mrs. Grice and did show that he had been a frequent visitor in the Grice home. Usually when Mr. Grice was absent at work. One witness definitely identi fied Satterfield as the man she saw leave the vacant lot and enter an au tomobile the night of the murder. Another witness said that Satterfield “looked like the man” she saw leave the vacant lot from which Grice was sshot the night of the murder. There was also much circumstantial evi dence involving Satterfield. The basis for the request for a new trial is an alleged confession which Satterfield now says that on Sasser, brother of Mrs. Grice and brother-in law of the slain man. made to him in which Sasser said he shot Mr. Grice accidentally. It is evident that au thorities here are not much impress ed with this alleged confession and tr.at they are inclined to wonder why Satterfield and his attorney waited until a week before the date for the execution to present this new evidence However, it is regarded as certain that a reprieve will be granted to per mit attorneys for Satterfield to pre sent this new evidence to the pre siding judge of the Superior Court in the Goldsboro district under the Casey* case precedent. School Group To Demand $25,000,000 Next Year (Continued from Page One.) indicated it will ask for an appropria tion of $25,000,000,000 next year and the next from State funds, this would indicate that the school forces intend to make a drive for n school appro priation of not less than $2.->.000,000 a year, an increase of $9,000,000 a year above the present appropriation of $10,000,000 a year for the public schools. This would be enough to grant a nincrease of no per cent in the salaries of all teachers, principals and superintendents, whose salaries have been cut only 30 per cent since 1929. When the State Department of "Public Instruction recently appeared before the Advisory Budget Commis sion, it requested an appropriation of only $20,000,000 a year for the next two, which would have been suffioi ent to grant a salary increase of 25 per cent. If the school forces could show the General Assembly hwo it can find re venue with which to provide $25,000, 000 a year for schools as easily as the highway department can show how it ran find, $25,000,000 a year for roads, the fruitier would he comparatively simple, it is pointed out here. For the indicated revenue of the highway department for the next two years, including $2,938,000 a year which it will receive from the Federal govern rnent if matched by State funds, is $25,352,000 a year without calling for any increase in highway fund taxes. But if the schools are to get an in crease of $9,000,000 a. year in excess of the preseni appropriation of SIG,- 1)00,000, the General Assembly must, levy $9,000,000 a. year in additional taxes of some sort.

In fact, the increase in the requests already made before the Advisory Budget Commission is almost $11,000,000 in excess of the pre sent appropriations made by the 1933 General Assembly. If the school for ces insist upon asking for $5,000,000 more a ear for schools than the State Department of Public Instruction has already asked for, it will bring this total to $15,000,000 in excess of pres ent appropriations, without including the highway requests. The highway commission maintains it is justified in asking for an appro priation of $25,000,000 a year, since it has its own revenue supplied by those who use the highways, in the form of the gasoline tax and the au tomobile license tax. But those who pay the highway tax—the automobile, truck and bus operators—maintain that if the highway department is nor permitted to use its own revenue, that none should be diverted to any other uses. Instead they maintain that the automobile and license taxes should be reduced. There is no doubt that this group is preparing to light any highway fund diversion more bitterly than ever before. The sehool forces are apparently in high spirits, according to those who have attended these recent meetings in Asheville and Greensboro, and seem certain they will h abl to gt frino S2O 000,000 to $25,000,000 a year for schools front the next legislature. Scramble Starts For Ap pointment For School Head (Continued from Page One.) spirited contest between various fac tions in educational circles is going to develop, according to informed opinion here. In fact, some half a dozen names have been mentioned for several months as possible successors to Dr. Allen in case his health should not permit him to complete his term of office. There are also indication?-, that the friends of some of these pros pective candidates have already brought them to the attention of Gov emor Ehringhaus. So far, of course, the governor has given no indication as to who he ex pects to appoint to succeed Dr. Allen. He may appoint some one whose name has not been mentioned at all. But if he does not make the appoint ment in the very near future it is agread that very strong pressure will be brought to hear on him by tin groups backing different candidates. Among those whose names are be ing mentioned as possible successors to Dr. Allen are T. Wingate Andrews, superintendent of the High Point city schools; Superintendent H. P. Hard ing. of the Charlotte city schools; County Superintendent Frank A. Ed mondson. Mecklenburg county schools, at one time connected with the State Department of Public Instruction under Dr. Allen; Superintendent Guy B.

While many here feel that sunn one like Mr. Andrews in High Point Is the type needed to carry on the work so ably started by Dr. Allen, indications are that of those being mentioned. Superintendent Phillips of Greensboro and Superintendent Erwin, of Ruther ford county, seem to have the strong est backing from the organized school forces. Reports heard here indicate that the more extreme wing of the North Carolina Education Association especially the city superintendents and principals and those more bitter ly opposed to State control and regu lation of the schools, are backing Phillips for the appointment. On the other hand, many of the county sn | perintendehts and principals, as well as most of the Textbook publishing companies and their representatives are reported to he urging the appoint ment of Erwin. Both Phillips and Erwin are con ceded to occupy a strong position as far as support from within the ranks of the school forces is concerned, since Phillips is now president of the North Carolina Education Associa tion, with its membership of some 20.000 teachers, principals and super intendents. while Erwin is a past president of the association. Both Phillips and Erwin have been bitter opponents of State control of the schools and school funds and opposed the enactment of the present eight months State-supported school plan in the 1935 General Assembly. Both favored the diversion of part of the highway fund to school purposes and are understood to still favor even more diversion than was obtained front the 1933 General Assembly which decreed that $1,000,000 a year should go from the highway fund into the general fund, ostensibly for school purposes; It is agreed, however, that if either candidate had the hacking of the en tire association he •-Ji-ould be much stronger. As it is, with city superin tendents, principals and teachers ana the “more money for schools at any price’’ element reported backing Phillips and the county superintend ents, principals, teachers and school hook publishers said to be backing Erwin, there is a possibility that the ranks of the school forces may be come so divided that they will reach a. stalemate and neither be appointed. Tu fact, a good many doubt if Gov ernor Ehringhaus will name either Phillips or Erwin because of their known lack of sympathy with the present State school law.

I have told the truth of my connection with it..” A police officer, thought to he the chief of the Goldsboro police, address ed Mrs. Grice and told her: “If you had seen Rufus when he broke down here at 2:30 this morn ing! If you could have been here and seen him weeping, you would not withhold a statement a moment long er.” Parole Conjmissioner Gill gave JtWsp-vpfi m . sT. rrt >r the hew ° nfevsion whi -n Satterfield made and which directly implicated Mrs. Grice in the slaying and charged J'kmatd Sasser with doing the actual shooting. Shortly thereafter Mr. Gill an nounced that Governor Ehringhaus had granted Satterfield a 30-day re prieve. Portions of the written statement made by Satterfield, which Mr. Gifi released for publication, were: “Donald Sasser and I went there to kill Grice because he had mistreated Mrs. Grice, and had threatened her, me and onald, and because Mrs. Grice asked us to.

FISH ROE WHILE NEEDY GO HUNGRY Carteret County Fish Indus try Finds Market Poor These Days Uajly Dispatch Bureau, In the Sir Walter Hotel, Rr .1, U. HasKervflle. Raleigh, Oct. 22. —Between 200.000 and 300,000 pounds of fish have gone to waste on the North Carolina coast during the last several weeks in spite of the fact that thousands of families in this State and elsewhere are in need of food, R. W. Prescott, secre tary of the Carteret County Commer cial Fishermen’s Association, here in interest of the industry said today. “I have seen 25,000 pounds of choiee mullets pulled up on the beach to rot because there was no market recent ly”, Mr. Prescott declared. “The fish ermen are making good catches these days, especially of spots, mullets and hluefishj but there is no demand, so a large part is being wasted. When the fishermen are able to find a market they get only about one or one and a half cents a pound for their fish. “At the suggestion of Governor J. C. B. Ehringhaus and the Department of Conservation and Development, the emergency relief administration through Mrs. Thomas O’Berry, Rta administrator, has agreed to purchase some of the fish for salting and dis tribution to those on relief rolls ?n the State. This should help to some extent by taking care of some ot immediate surplus, but the fishing in dustry needs more permanent meas ures to assist in the desperate situa tion.

ERROR IS MAPE IN NAMING FURNITURE The Daily Dispatch regrets the typographical error that caused a mis spelling of the furniture advertised for sale lash week by Mrs. F. L. Toeple man. The word “Sheridan” was used when it should have been “Sheraton”. The error was in the handling cf the advertising in the Dispatch office.
