'In District Court .Vass Man Found Guilty Of Stealing A Vass man was convicted of horse stealing Friday following a trial highlighted by much conflicting testimony and an agitated witness who muttered oaths at the defendant while awaiting his turn to testify. James G. Furr, 30, had been charged with larceny and receiving in connection with the disappearance of two ponies from the farm of Dianne Ross on March 17. Furr testified he was not stealing the ponies, but had received a call from Carl Prim, described as a Carthage horse trader, directing him to pick up the ponies which Prim had purchased, Furr related. Furr continued he was accompanied by his wife and another man he identified as Marshall Ritter and Ritter assisted him in gaining entry to the horse pen. Ritter, 23, who had been seated several rows back in the courtroom, during this testimony, moved to the front of the spectator seats and loudly whispered s~ of a b? at the defendant, startling observers.
