A NEW TRIAL DENIED

SENTENCE,
Supreme Court Ii Unable to End Any
Reversible Error In Rulings
Of the Presiding
Judge.

Not finding any reversible error In
the rulings of the presiding judge, the
Supreme Court of Alabama. yesterday
affirmed the verdict of the lower court
in Marshall County which declares thar
DR.. w. L. Noel. of Boaz. must serve
a sentence of seven years for the al
legged killing of Jesse e. Roberts, town
marshal of Boaz. This closes the doors
on the last chance DIR. Noel has for
respite excepting executive Interior
ence or an application for a rehearing.
DR.. NoePs case presents one of ex-
treme pathos to his family. as he is
so years of age or more. The circum-
stances of the killing were not brought
out In open court and have been more
or less wrapped in mystery. The kill
ing of Roberts took place during Feb
ruary, 1908. and shocked the little
community of Boaz and the entire sur
rounding country.
He went to trial on a simple plea Of
not guilty and fought the case desper-
ately through able counsel. DR.. Noel
is q prominent citizen of Boaz. being
the ownef of q drug store. Therefore,
he is said to have borne an excellent
reputation. It is stated that old age
of the physician worked for leniency
