Court Upholds Right To Measure Acreage Decision Appealed To Appeals Court The United States district court for the district of Maryland has upheld the right of county agricultural stabilisation and conservation committee representatives to enter a farm and make wheat acreage measurements for the purpose of determining compliance with the farm’s wheat acreage allotment when marketing quotas are in effect The court held that measurement is necessary to determine whether the wheat acreage on the farm ta within the farm marketing quota, and whether 15 acres or less of wheat have been planted on the farm, for which there are special provisions. and exemptions. In disposing of the case the court ruled that constitutional rights were not Infringed upon by the required measurement of wheat acreages. The decision was rendered June 17, in a civil case brought by the United States of- America against three Carroll county, Maryland farmers. An appeal has been taken and is on the fall calendar of the Upited States court of appeals for the fourth circuit. The defendants raised 20 separate defenses and objected _ to much of the government’s evidence and most of the exhibits. However, the court sustained the government's position in all respects. ——

Alleged Mass Slayer Faces Nov. 14 Trial Accused Slayer Os Six To Stand Trial PRINCETON. Ind. (INS) —The accused mass slayer of six Indiana and Kentucky persons is to stand trial Nov. 14 at Princeton for one of the six murders. The dAte was set late Monday by Judge A. Dale Eby of Gibson county circuit court after rejecting a defense plea that the trial of 31-year-old 1-eslie Irvin be venued back to Evansville. The case had been transferred from Evansville to Princeton by a previous defense attorney. Irvin’s present defense attorneys, Theodore Lockyear. Jr., and James Lopp, both of Evansville, asked to have the case returned but the plea was denied. Irvin is to be tried first for the slaying of W. Wesley Kerr, 29, an Evansville filling station operator, who like the other five victims was shot through the head after first being forced to knee). Line of the defense reasoning on the venue request indicated they were seeking to have the Irvin trial moved to a distant court. They argued that Evansville newspapers which carried details accounts of the crimes and Irvin s confession have coverage in adjoining Gibson county as well as Vanderburgh county. Judge Eby took under advisement another maneuver by the defense to have the indictment against Irvin set aside <jn the claim that the grand jury foreman had not signed it. Irvin shocked the nation with his confession to the slaying of six persons within a 50 mile radius of his home town of Evansville. Kerr was the second of the six persons to whose murders Irvin confessed, during a period beginning Dec. 2, 1954 and ending March 28 of this year. The others were Mrs. Mary Holland, 36, Evansville; Mrs. Wilhelmina Sailed, 47. Posey county. Ind., and three members of a Henderson. Ky.. family—Goebel Duncan, 53. his son, Raymond, 20, and Raymond's wife, Elizabeth, 19. Irvin, a pipefitter, was arrested April 8. and made detailed confessions but since has entered a plea of not guilty and elected to stand trial.
