SentelTs Death, Set For Today, Is Stayed By Appeal Prisoner Would Have Died On An niversary Of Fatal Shooting Here. The poetic justice which would have commanded the state to take the life ol Louis Sentigll on the anniversary of the date ^n which he shot his sweetheart, Mrs. Wil liam Drake (Florence Jones) is thwarted today by an appeal which automatically stays execution. Sentell was sentenced to die to day in the electric chair. But War den H. H. Honeycutt of State's Prison has received a notice of cer» tified bond of the appeal, made by Sentell’s attorney, William Breese, of Brevard. Hasn’t Reached Court The appeal has not reached the supreme court yet, according to word from Raleigh, but is not due to be filed until three or four weeks from the time cases in this district are slated. Cases from the 16th judicial dis trict, which includes Cleveland, will be heard during the seventh week the court sits, or the third week in March. Until this time, Sentell must bide his time on death row, with 22 other men sentenced to die. Mav Ack Mappv Widespread belief has been ex pressed here, however, that Sentell will never die in the chair. It is remembered that the jury which convicted him of first degree mur der asked the judge if it would be possible to turn in a recommenda tion for mercy with a first degree decree. They were told this was not possible under the law. But court observers predict that an attempt will be made to have members of this jury sign a recommendation for mercy, asking life imprisonment in stead of death. It is believed that the governor would heed such a re quest.

Pair enough to say "Ah,” for the total he got was $134,151, most of which passed through his hands during recent months. This was the amount brought by sale and trans fer of gin certificates in Cleveland county. Here are some of the fig ures: Pounds transferred from person to person totalled 897,740 and 246,210 pounds were re-issued—that's when only a part of a ticket was sold. The total of those two Items is 1,143.950 pounds. At four cents a pound, the amount transferred comes to $46, 758.
