Wake field's counsel wili u)pial to Governor Baldwin to commute l he sentence. waKetield was killed at Ins Home in Cheshire, Conn., last June. Plew turned Stale's evidence and confessed lli.it he had conspired with Mrs. Wakefield to murder her husband. While she took her three children for a walk lie shot the husband then- tied a rope around the neck to give the appearance of suicide. Plew is a member of the famous Jewkes family, which scientists say has produced more than 1,500 defectives. When arraigned Plew pleaded guilty to homicide, under the ancient statute o.' 1642. This statute dispenses with a jury and permits the court to. determine the degree of guilt. With one exception this was the first time in the 200 years that the statute has been invoked. Neither Plew nor Mrs. Wakefield showed much emotion during the trial. The court delayed several days be fore sentencing the pair. When they were called before the bar today Judge Burpee said he had been unable to find any extenuating circumstances which would lead to the fixing of a lesser de gree of guilt than that of premeditated murder.

He also had pleaded to homi cide 'under the ancient statute, and his was the first case on record where the court examined the witnesses to ascer tain the details of the crime.

S. Nine of the railroad companies-doing intrastate freight busi ness in North Carolina filed today with Governor Craig formal protest against the application of the Justice intrastate rate act, passed by the recent extra ses sion of th legislature and asking that a special rate commission be appointed under the provisions of the act to in vestigate and adjust the rates in some equitable basis.. The Southern railway, the Atlantic Coast Line andjthe Seaboard Air jine- more especially, file exhibits' along with their protest that show differences between the rates on this state and a number of other states and the effec.t-that the application of the pro posed rates in the Justice act will have on the earnings of the railroad compan ies, all the railroad companies assert, tending to show that the rates in the Justice intrastate rates are toolow to a degree that they are confiscatory and would, bring disaster to the railroad business. in North Carolina. The Atlantic Coast line submits an exhibit t&show' that the present rates in North Carolina ar considerably low er than the rates in effect in a number of the other States in this section of the United States and that the application of the Justice act rates would put them so far below rates - ift other states as to indicate on the$ face that they are MIDDLE STREET MERCHANT HURT C. B. KING STRUCK BY A MOTOR DELIVERY WAGON. C. B. King, a member of the firm of Roy a IT & King, who conduct a con fectionary, store and restaurant on Middle street, was painfully injured yesterday when he was run into and knocked down by a motor delivery wagon owned by C. V. McGehee. The accident occurred on . Middle street, near Kafer's bakery. ' Fortun ately Mr. . King was not seriously hurt and was able to attend to his business a short time later. iliddle street between Broad and Pollock is very much congested at this time wing to the fact that the erection of th Peoples Bank's new home, which iifihat block,' necessitates the block- ine.irup-of a section of it. Automobile ftjSfither drivers should not attempt to? traverse that section atbreaknetk-J speed when such a condition prevails. TheVpede8tria'n has the right-df way at' all times and unless "some' ; observa tin -of the ordinance relative to fast driving is made, someone will probably be; serious or ' fatally hurt , right in "that section." 1 1 ' - : oil Met I til it ( "1. .1 ! ro-ip "-.

The Atlantic Coast Line also submits a table to show that the Jus tice bill would reduce present North Carolina rates 34 per cent, on hauls five to 60 miles; 33 per cent, on hauls 100 miles and 29 per cent, on the whole scale of freight traffic in this State. Taking up the matter of the principal commo dity handled in North Carolina as cot ton and a gain in Minnesota would earn 100 per cent, more in handling like quantities under like conditions for similar distances that the North Caro lina railroads could earn in North Carolina in handling cotton, the com parison being with grain in Minnesota,. The Southern railway gives a special exhibit that compares Minnesota rates with the proposed Justice act North Carolina rates, that shows rates to be 18 to 50 per cent, higher on lumber laths and shingles in Minnesota than1 Justice Act, the present lumber rates Inv' North Carolina being lower than the Minnesota rates after which the Jus tice" act is admitted to be modeled.
