Valparaiso, Ind., March 11.-AU.R) Virgil Kirkland, young Gary ath- : lete, was found guilty last night of i murdering Arlene Draves at a drinking party and his punishment was fixed at life imprisonment. The jurors, nine farmers and three tradesmen who listened for ! 14 days to evidence in one of the most dramatic trials in Indiana’s history, were out 3 hours and 22 minutes, most of which time was spent at dinner. Their verdict, which left the 20-Jyeat-old defendant and his lawyers stunned, was read in a packed courtroom by Judge Grant Crumpacker at 8:40 o’clock last night. Attorney Harratt O'Hara of the i defense staff indicated he would ask for a new trial, a motion which, under Indiana law, need not be made immediately. "It was what he deserved,'' was I the commept of Charles Draves, i father of the 18-year-old Arlene, ) whose bruised body was returned jto him after she left home the i night of last Nov. 29 to attend a party with Kirkland. The verdict was a compromise between the state’s demand for the I death penalty and the defense plea j for acquittal. In reaching it, the I jury found Miss Draves had died ' trem blows rather than from the ~ —. —1....- I II Hill, .1 I. | ■' -I— -ZW-.. ■ — I’ 0 I’ U L A R Low Rate EXCURSIONS NICKEL PLATE ROAD from DECATUR to ST.

criminal attacks with which Kirkland and four companions were ( charged. Judge Cruntpacker’s instructions outlined 22 possible verdicts, ranging from assault and battery to murder by attack. Had the jury found Kirkland guilty of murder i either by attacks or attempt to at i tack, the death penalty would have' been mandatory. The judge stressed this fact in) j reading his instructions. Shortly, before. Attorney O'Hara had de- ) scribed how Kirkland would be ‘burned, burned burned,’’ if sen ] : fenced to die. Kirkland's mother, who had left the trial as Prosecutor John Underwood pictured her boy as an "inhuman beast" and demanded his life, became hysterical when the verdict was read. “My darling, my darling, it is unfair,” she cried as she fought her way past four deputies to embrace Virgil, w'ho sat dazed for' several minutes, then comforted her by reminding her she could see him in jail. He was led away ( a few minutes later by the depI uties and probably will be sentenced next Monday. Members of the Draves family made little comment, but indicated they were satisfied although believing the penalty light. i The trial had been a terrible ordeal for them. One daug+iter. Carolyn, collapsed in the courtroom 1 yesterday as Assistant Prosecutor i Edmond Freund condemned the i defense for having forced exhumiation and a second autopsy of Ar- ] leno’s body three months after she J was buried in q coffin inscribed I "at rest.” ;! Carolyn screamed as the proset cutor told of the autopsy. Then she arose, waved her arms hysterically and collapsed. She was carried out by two brothers, who were crying. After being dismissed, members of the jury disclosed they had voted 11 to 1 for the tjjiilty verdict immediately upon retiring. On at second vote, they were unanimous.’ I but disagreed for a short time over (the punishment. Most of them, it .was learned, favored the death penalty, but were influenced by the ■ foreman, A. E. Upp, 68, to decide; ■ upon life imprisonment instead. The youthfulness of the defendant; was considered, it was said, in reaching this decision. When Kirkland was returned to; his cell last night and declared he i was “glad it was over,” he was in-; • (formed that Leon Stanford, pne of: ' the four other youths also charged j Uwith Miss Draves' death, was in a cell a few yards away. ' , Like Kirkland. Stanford obtain ed a change of venue' front Gary ami will be tried tn about a month. | The other three will have separate! trials. o —•— I WOMEN ATTEND MEETING HERE !

More than 73,000 miles in a New Ford . ■ 'TnmjrTHE substantial worth of the new Ford is reflected in its good performance, economy and reliability. Its stamina and endurance are particularly apparent in sections where bad roads and severe weather put a heavy extra burden on the automobile. In less than a year a new Ford Tudor Sedan was driven more than seventy-three thousand miles over a difficult route. The operating cost per mile was very low and practically the only expense for repairs was for new piston rings and a new bearing for the generator. The car carried an average load of 1200 pounds of mail and was driven 250 miles daily. “The Ford has never failed to go when I was ready,” writes one of the three mail carriers operating the car. “The starter did the trick last winter even at 31 degrees below zero. The gas runs about 20 miles per gallon. At times I pull a trailer whenever I have a bulky load.” Many other Ford owners report the same satisfactory performance. Every part has been made to enduiFc —to serve you faithfully and well for many thousands of miles. ■—The Nfw j. orb || I] Tudor Sedan 1” 1 * 11 JirßrrLLOW PRICES OF FORD CARS $430 to $630 F. O.
