Sinclair Imposes Death And Long Jail Sentences Ernest Fowler, fifty year old white tenant farmer, was sentenced to die in the gas chamber after be ing convicted in Wake superior court this week of criminally at tacking his 12-year-old step daugh ter. The child, Helen Lowery, whose mother died some months ago, made a good witness and told a straightforward but sordid story of repeated offenses on the part of her step father. The case occupied two full days of court, but the jury was out only a short time. This is the second death sentence in Wake county within a year, the other being a negro man convicted of raping a negro woman last fall. Two negro men who pleaded guilty to serious crimes were given ten year prison terms by Judge Sinclair. James Bostick admitted breaking into the home of B. C. Scarborough, prominent eastern Wake farmer, with intent to at tack a young woman, but was frus trated in his purpose and soon captured. Lacy Elam, Raleigh negro, pleaded guilty to the shooting of James Vann, another negro, who later died from blood poisoning re sulting from the wound. Both Bostick and Elam were given ten year terms in state prison. The court is engaged as this pa per goes to press in the trial of Eugene Jones, of Chatham county, charged with manslaughter for the death of Dempsey Hinton, colored, in a motor car accident some months ago. Judge Sinclair had his wrath aroused by reports that slot ma chines were operating freely in the county, and he ordered them all confiscated. Deputies, however, re ported that they could not locate any of the machines when they went on the hunt.
