NEGROES SENTENCED TO
DEATH AT STATESVILLE
Sinclair Conner and Ralph Conner
Must Pay Extreme Penalty For
Murder of Deputy Cloanlnger.
Statesville, Oct. 19. The trial of the
negro 'brothei-s,' Sinclair Conner and
Ralph Conner, for the murder of De
puty Sheriff Lloyd Cloanlnger , on
August 3, 1919, euded in a Verdict
last evening of murder in the first
degree for both parties. The trial be-
gaii Thursday-afternoon, and it took
several hours to secure-a jury from
the 125 veniremen summoned. The
ablest counsel was employed for both
the prosecution and the defense. -.Much
interest -has Isaen manifested
in. the ' trial, the , courtroom being
crowed most of the time.
The murder occurred at a 'negro
camp meeting on Sunday, August 3,
1919, near Mooresvllle. Deputy Lloyd
Cloanlnger was called to the plaoe to
serve a' warrant on Sinclair Conner
for being disorderly while drinking.
The negro resisted arrest and fired on
the officer. Mr. Cloanlnger returned
the shots and wounded the negro
slightly as he ran . off. . The officer
followed a few hundred yards to a
point where Sinclair Conner was ly
ing under a tree, ' suffering from
wounds. Here the officer was attacked
by Boze Conner, a brother of the de
fendants, and at that time Ralph
Conner ran up and 'shot Deputy Cloan
lnger twice In the back, one of which
Droved fatal soon, after the officer
reached the hospital. AVhlle the fatal
shot was proven to have been fired
by Ralph Conner, the Jury considered
that the tragedy was the outcome of
a conspiracy in which both parties
were equally -responsible, tnererore- a
verdict of murder in the first degree
was- made applicable to both.- It-took
the jury only about J minutes to
make. up their minds after the case
was given them. The jury was-from

izenship, and the verdict is approved
generally. '.--" "? ''";' ''
