Mich., Dec. 22—(UP) —Mrs. Fern Patricia Dull, the blonde "office wife” who killed her employer and lover, William Holbrook. today was sentenced to 14 to 15 years in the Detroit institution of correction. Judfe Mark Taylor, in pronouncing sentence uipon the woman who was convicted of Manslaughter by that she serve the maximum term. Judge Taylor overruled a motion by Mrs. Dull’s attorney, H. T. Dewhirst of the House of David, asking for a new trial. Dewhirst argued that testimony citing adultery constituted an error. The court summarily dismissed the motion and passed the sentence. Mrs. Dull probably will be kept at the Berrien county jail here pos-

' sibly a week before commitment papers are completed ordering her transfered to Detroit.. Mrs. Dull was smiling when brought into court to hear the verdict.

She was solemn as the jury came in. | She held her head erect as she received the bad news, then turned and chatted gayly with her attorneys while her children, Lester, 16, and Gloria. 15, and her mother, Mrs. Ulysses Baker, Kimmel, Ind., sobbed. H. T. Dewhirst, chief of defense counsel, protested Judge Taylor’s announcement that he would pronounce sentence today. He asked arrest of judgment until he has had time to prepare a motion for a new trial. Taylor dismissed him with a curt admonition to offer his petition today before sentence is pronounced. Mrs. Dull was remanded to the custody of the sheriff and led back to her cell. She stayed up until the early hours Os the morning conferring with relatives and then a ent to bed. «, "She was fast asleep in a few minutes,” her jailer said. o ■■ I r»il«- !■ A rnwn — l»e<-atui
