Sentence of from two to six years imprisonment, provided in statutes for atrocious assault and battery, was expected to be imposed today, Walter S. Keown, defense counsel, announced th.M because the Robertsons are too pcor to fight the verdict in the higher courts, he will donate his legal services for the appeal. He termed the verdict a “travesty on justice.” Joseph Varbelow, special prosecutor, climaxed the last day of the trial Thursday by ordering Robertson to show the court how he had whipped the bright-eyed little girl with his belt. The foster-father complied by lashing three light blows on the child’s back. Betty gave a little scream and ran sobbing to a court attendant. The spectators, mostly women, murmured exclamations of sympathy and indignation. It was charged the Robertsons had burned Betty’s hands, flogged her with a belt buckle, made her eat with the dog, and inflicted other cruelties. The defense produced approximately sixty witnesses, many who testified to the Robertson’s good character. Physicians said on the witness

B. Davis, director, in the federal trade commission’s utilities investigation. Davis, a former solicitor of the commerce department under Herbert Hoover, said the committee had decided to abandon all publicity work and now is devoting its entire time to “covering” the commission’s hearings in its investigation of utility propaganda methods. “We still issue a regular bulletin,” he said, “but no publicity releases are sent newspapers. Negotiations are under way, however, to have a separate organization distribute releases relating solely to these hearings.” Questioned by Commissioner Edgar A. McCulloch, presiding at the hearing, Judge Davis admitted the
