SENTENCE IN SUSSEX

der in Georgetown
Special to The Evening Journal


Georgetown. Oct. 12.-The trial Of Du-
lany Maddox. colored, who shot and
killed Joseph Polk. colored. Of Bridge
vile, came to sudden end on the re-
convening of court here at o'clock
yesterday afternoon. when his attorney.
former Attorney General Robert c.
White. changed his plea from guilty to
that Of guilty Of murder in the second
degree, which was accepted by the
State.
After the verdict had been announced
there seemed to be general dissatisfac-
tion among most of those present. as
each and every one thought Maddox
should pay the penalty of his crime
with his life.
He was setenced by the court to pay
fine Of $1,000, pay the costs of prosecu-
tion and be imprisoned for life.
This makes three prisoners now con-
fined in the Georgetown Jail serving life
sentences. which is a large number for
small county like Sussex to feed.
They are Nehemiah Harmon, colored.
who struck and killed Henry Mitchell
with an axe while In the woods about
three years ago; Jacob Lofiand, color
ed, who also is serving a life sentence
for shooting and killing his sweetheart,
Susie Hazard, colored. in Cedar Neck
early last year. and Dulaney Maddox,
the negro convicted yesterday.

The balance of the Republican ticket
which was left unfinished on Monday
when the Republican and Union Re-
publican State Committees agreed on
Preston Lea for Governor, is still un-
finished.
This morning the committee met and
discussed Tue terms under which Mr.
Lea was nominated.
The principal delay, however, seems
TO be caused by TIE committee waiting
for some word from Mr.. Lea as TO
whether or not he would accept the
nomination. As soon as word is re-
ceived from him it Is thought the COM
mittee will take but a short time TO
agree on the remainder Of the ticket.
shortly after 1 o'clock former Sena-
tor Higgins left the committee room
and when asked by a reporter If Mr..
Lea had accepted said no, and also
stated that he had not declined.
Secretary Speakman, Mr.. Higgins
and several other members of the COM
mittee were seen after the meeting and
all of thin stated that nothing had been
accomplished.
The committee meets again this after
noon when it is expected that there will
be some discussion over the office OF
state Treasurer. The two men being dis
cussed for this position are Thomas n
Rawllns and Charles Maui.
