 Threet, Conway negro, was con victed of rape at the July term of the Faulkner circuit court, the prosecut- ing witness being Gertie Hollings- head 15-year-old white girl. While the alleged crime was horrible one, it was conceded that the testimony was hardly such as under the law would justify capital punishment, and the jury was out two days be- fore verdict was reached.
 The defendant was represented in the lower court by George w Clark, former prosecuting attorney, and George Shaw, Roy c. Bruce and S. W. Rogers assisting Prosecuting At torney J. B. Reed for the prosecution. Among the errors assigned by the de fense in their appeal to the supreme court, in addition to the alleged in- suficiency of testimony, were the withdrawal of a motion for change of venue without the defendants knowledge and the refusal of the low CT court to instruct the jury that the failure of the defendant to testify was not to be considered against him in making up the verdict,
 Another strong point for the de fense was the lapse of time between the alleged crime and it's announce ment by the prosecuting witness and ne fact that she admitted to illicit relations with several other negroes, SIX of whom were sentenced to the penitentiary after conviction upon charges of carnal abuse, for total of 112 years.
 It is considered very likely here that Attorney General W. L. Moose will consent to a sentence for carnal abuse in the Throets case and it is probable that petitions to this effect will be sent. It is thought doubtful that conviction upon higher charge could be secured again and by the attorney generals consent to q modification of the judgment of the lower court, the county will he spared the expense of another trial.
