Rafe King Gets

At Penitentiary
Mjelby Man Allowrd To PlUh Bali
And Gris Srrvlrfs Of
'' Prison Barbrr.
Columbia S. C , July 29 —Ra'c
King had a walk In the open yester
day afternoon. The York count\
man. convicted at Chester recently
of the murder of his wife, is locked
tonight in a cell on the solitary
confinement row But. the prison
authorities give him a little fresh
air every day or so. Escape would
be impassible because of the fact
that armed guards walk-the wails
around the prison enclosures.
Yesterday afternoon King was
also allowed to go out on the yard
in front of the office of the can
tain of the prison guard and piten
baseball for a few minutes with
another prisoner. A little exercise
and a little fresh air every day ts
regarded as necessary to the pris
oner's health.
And yesterday he also had a shave.
Prisoners win are held in solitary
confinement have to have shaves
too. Every day or so, depending
on the speed of whisker growth,
such a prisoner is visited by a pris
oner barber, and scissors and razor
are put to work King was brought
from his cell and placed in a chair
in a hallway near the door of the
guard captain's office. This was
his barber shop
King's home at present Is a cell
into which no sun shines and from
which his only view is gray in
terior w'ails and dark cell bars.
At intervals he is visited. when
guards bring him meals or mail or
other necessities. But no one is al
lowed to see him To reporters Cap
tain Sanders, head of the prison
guard, replied: "Can't let you see
him unless you bring r.n order from
the governor. He's the governors
prisoner, not ours."
King’s cell is in a row of ce’!<
extending the width of the build
ing in which is located the office
of the captain and the assistant
raplaln and the photograph anr
fingerprint departments. The win
dows are not in the cells but In tr.
corridor that is in front of the
cells. Thp windows are higli and
cannot be seen from the interior
of the cells. Neither can any doors
In this row of cells are throe
prisoners, convicted of murder, but
with sentences postponed by ap
peals to the state supreme courf.
The other two are young men sent
from Spartanburg. Paul B Johnsoo
and W. R Coleman. They were con
victed of killing a pay roll clerk
Belue, an official of one of the
Spartanburg cotton mills. They rod?
behind his car. ns he transported
the pay roll from bank to mill, and
they shot him.

FORMER CASHIER IS
GIVEN PRISON TERM
Winston-Salem.—Grady L. Zim
merman, former cashier In the city
water department, confessed to
embezzling approximately $7,000
while employed by the city, when
arraigned in Forsyth superior court
today and was sentenced to from
five to seven years in the State
prison. Following his sentence Zim
merman was taken in custody by
the sheriff and went to the county
jail.
Judge Pender A. McElroy pro
nounced sentence after hearing
testimony of Luther Charles, super
intendent of the water department
to whom Zimmerman gave his first
confession of embezzlement, and
counsel for the defendant.
The jurist started in entering
judgment that in the event the
funds are repaid, and it was under
stood relatives are prepared to
make restitution, the prison sen
tence will be reduced. Judge Mc
Elroy, however, gave no indication
of the time to which he would re
duce the sentence.
Zimmerman elected to appear
alone, requesting his family to re
main away from the courtroom and
avoid the embarrassment. The
young man received the sentence
without apparent emotion, having
previously announced he had be
come resigned to his fate.
