Watkins "The Place of Values" Capps Is Convicted Of Burning Sentencing of Dab ney Man Ueferred j Jrending Data hrom State Hospital As to His Condition. H. M. Capps, Dabney township (citizen, was convicted by a jury in Vance Superior Court late Tuesday J afternoon of the burning of Mount Moriah Negro Methodist church near his home on the Henderson-Oxford highway last July 11. Sentence was deferred until tomorrow by Judge Leo Carr so that information migm be obtained from the State Hospital in Raleigh bearing on his condition. The jury got the case at 10:30 o'clock in the morning and deliberat ed the rest of the day. Several times during the afternoon it came back into the court room for instructions from Judge Carr. One time it re ported a ballot of eleven to one, and later in the afternoon returned to say that one man had gone back to the minority, with the standing of ten to two. There was no indication of which way the majority leaned. On the last appearance before the court, the jury said it seemed hope lessly deadlocked, but Judge Carr reminded them of the cost of the trial to the county, and told them that if they were discharged the whole procedure would have to be gone over again at additional ex pense, and some jury at some time would have to decide the issue. He appealed to the twelve men to go back to further deliberations and try hard for a verdict. Half an hour or so later, they re turned 4vith the conviction. Alter the burning of the church last summer, Capps was confined for a week or ten days in State Hospital in Raleigh, and records indicating his condition were desired as hav ing a bearing on the court's sentence. D. P. McDuffee, who represented Capps as defense counsel during the trial, asked time to obtain the need ed information, and the court readily agreed to defer judgment until Thursday. The jury that convicted Capps was composed of the following: V. T. Orissom, Robert B. Wiggins, H. A. Pegram. D. G. Williamson, B. A. Newton, C. B. Hamm, W. T. Short, E. B. Moss. George M. Burroughs, Willie Norwood, Walter E. Hight, H. P. Hilliard.
