DECATI'R DAILY DEMOCRAT THVRSDAY, DECEMBER 18. 1930.

PRYORCASEIS j NEARING CLOSEI 'I Two Alienists State Man Was Sane When He Killed Wife >1 Indianapolis, Dec. IS.—(U.R>—Two alienists appointed by Judge James | A Collins of criminal court, at the | re<|tii st of John Royse, attorney for Ernest Pyer, testified late yesterday that Pryor was sane at the , time his wife died in Martinsville. Appearance of several medical I witnessis in defense of the alleg- ' ed wife-slayer, delayed completion of the case. It was expected, how- , i ever, to go to the jury today. Pryor is charged with administ- ‘ ering arsenic to his wife, in the ' guis -of medicine, so that he might collect $3,000 insurance taken a Jlew days earlier <n her life, and I marry another woman. II Uoth of the physicians who de1 dared their belief that Pryor was sane, described his mentality as ‘ “that of a 12-year-old.'' Thus, while their testimony was a blow to the > defense, it was such as might mitigate the sentence in evt nt of conviction. ' State rebuttal testimony was ' scheduled for today, with final , arguments erpected to be complet- > ?d early this afternoon. A verdict I before nightfall was anticipated. SOUTH STATES HAVE SNOWFALL ) I Cold Wave Centers In Southern Georgia; Traffic Slowed Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 18. - • (U.R) — i Snow covered ‘he cotton and to-1 bacco fields of the south today as I far south as Augusta and Macon, Ga. Highways were slippery with ice and sleet, and automobile traffic had decreased 50 p r cent, it was animated, as motorists changed to street car transportation. Two deaths were reported as attributable to the unusual weather. Florida was the only state to es-j cape the snow and sleet. In the Appalachians and in parts; of eastern North Carolina, the snowfall was two feet deep. Communication lines in North Carolina were damaged. In the vicinity of Kingston. N. C., tele i graph poles were toppled and at Winston-Salem the roof of a large warehouse caved in under the snow burden. A forecast of "fair and warmer" j fcr today, however, indicated that the snow would not last long. C. F. Von Herrman, weather forecaster, said “it will be all gone by tonight." The lowest temperature recorded yesterday was 20 above at Asheville, N. C„ but freezing temperatures were general in upper and middle Georgia. Professor Ends Life Los Angeles, Dec. 18. — (U.R> — Warren Bovard, vice-president of he University of Southern California, committed suicide early today by shooting himself through the head, police reported. The noted educator left a note I which presumably explained his, act but officers refused to release ( it pending authorization from his ■ friends. Bovard was associated with the Univeisity of Southern California! in an executive position for more than 20 years. Legion Team Wins Indianapolis, Dec. 18. —<U.R) —The American Legion rifle team won first place in the 1930 internation-1 al match at Paris, sponsored by Fidac, the inter allied verterans or-! ganization, according to word received at national headquarters heretoday. The legion team scored 1.948 points out of a possible 2,000. Belgium was second with 1,687 points, and France third with 1,659. ADAMS COUNTY MEN ARRESTED (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE! and charged with the theft of a number of hogs in Allen county several days ago. Moser confessed to his part in the theft but the other two men refu ed to admit any part in the crime. The three were taken to Allen county this afternoon where formal charges of larceny will be placed. Several of the stolen hogs were found butchered at the Hendricks home and after the three men were -placed in the Berne lock-up, Mcser confessed to th# theft. It also was learned late today I that several chicken thefts in the I I county are being investigated with; Ila hope of getting the trio to shedI light on the thefts.
