SHOT. FROM AMBUSH

Cullman, November s.-(Special John
w. Patterson and his son, Clyde Patter-
son, We're sentenced to life Imprisonment
yesterday afternoon for the killing of
Robert Miller on July 9. The court has
been in session on this case since last
Tuesday morning and the hearings were
completed at o'clock yesterday after
noon.
Mack Miller, father of the man who
was killed, was the only direct witness
for the state. the rest of the evidence
being of a circumstantial nature. One pc
culiar feature of the circumstantial eyi-
dence offered by the state was that of a
mule track. 1t seems that the mule owned
by Patterson wore a shoe of a peculiar
pattern and one that was on no other
animal in the vicinity. The hoof track
of this mule was discovered near the
scene of the killing and it is believed
that much of the condemnatory testimony
was based upon this fact
The defense tried to impeach the testi-
mony of the elder Miller but did not sue
ceed Both sides say that they are salts
fled with the verdict. Another piece of
cireumstantial evidence that had an i'm
portant bearing upon the case was the
fact. that the elder Patterson was seen
by the elder Miller trying to unload his
gun. The shell that was then In the gun
was secured by the state and several un-
used cartridges of the same size were
also offered as evidence. The shot taken
from the body of the dead man were found
to be of the same size as those In the
cartridges discovered lat the home of Pat
terson.
The trial of Alf Brindley, who was ac-
cused with the Pattersons, will come up
next Monday, it is believed. The court
will reconvene at that time. Judge Alston
of Birmingham was on the bench when
the Pattersons were convicted. and his
verdict gave great satisfaction to both
sides. He has created a favorable i'm
preston in and about Cullman and Is very
