Judge J. Faul Frizzelle passed out the two life sentences as the final case of the week long trials, one in which another attempted rape of a white woman by a" mentally de ficient Negro resulted in an 18 to 25 year sentence, as well as the Fai son sentences. The break in the case came as Solicitor Walter Britt broke down a defense witness, Arthur 'Rabbit' Mitchell under cross examination.
