VERDICT IS NEAR IN TRIAL OF EX-PASTOR
BULLETIN -k iBy Associated Press) STACEBORO, Ga., Nov. 1. Voices of the Jurors loudly deliberating over the case of Elliott Padrick, youthful clergyman, on trial for the slaying of
his mother-in-law, Mrs. Mamie Lou Dixon, reached spectators in the courtroom late today, and led to a report
that a edict had been agreed upon
but that a degree of punishment was as yet not decided upon. The argument could be heard several feet away
from the closed jury room. Padrick also is under indictment for having kilted his wife, Millie Mae Padrick, at the same tinwj he killed her mother. The case was given to the jury late last night. STATESBORO. Gai, Nov. 1. The
fate of Elliott Pardick, former minis
ter who confessed the slaying of Ms

Padrick has been on trial for the al
leged murder of Mrs. Dixon for the
past two days and closea his aeiense
with a dramatic sermon to the jury,
declaring that he shot his wife because
of her indiscretions. H13 text was
based on the commandant "thou shalt
not commit adultery."
After opening with prayer, the former minister declared the temptations of modern, woman made it difficult for
a young man to enter the ministry
The women of today, he -continued, are
causing the "downfall of men, enticing
them by their daily dress and playing
to them through sex appeal.'. Defence attorneys introduced evi
dence tending to prove that Padrick was insane at the time of the double killing and has been of unsound mind most of his life. In completing his
charge to the jury late last night
Judge J. B.- Park gave instructions that if there was any doubt of Padrick's sanity at the time he committed the crime he should be acquitted but
if there was no doubt a verdict of guilty with or without a recommenda
tion for mercy should be returned.
Padrick shot hi3 wKe and mother-in-law while the three were in an automobile near here on June 19. He has
not yet, stood trial on the indictment
charging murder or nis wiie, wno ae-
clared in a letter to a friend that she had left her husband because she found
she "had married a crazy man."

Apply Wheat Fertilizer
Even If Late, Is Advice COLUMBUS, Ohio, Nov. 1 Many
a shipment of fertilizer intenaea ior application at the time of seeding the
winter wheat has been delayed in reaching its destination, because of car shortage of rail icongestion, and
many farmers are uncertain what it is best to do. Prof. C. C. Williams,
Ohio State university is advising farmers to apply the fertilizer as soon as
it arrives if the ground will stand a
team and spreader without hurting the
young wheat. Of course, it would have been best to put the fertilizer on with the wheat, but, according to
Professor Williams, it is not too late now and will help the yield considerably.
