COURT TO
 SENTENCE THRffT MANDATE RECEIVED HERE CIRCUIT JUDGE TO FIX TERM OF. NEGRO SAVED FROM.
 GALLONS. <-

Contrary to a belief expressed at the time the supreme court reversed the death penalty against Robert Threet, a negro convicted in this coun- ty of crime against Gertie Hol- lingshead, a white girl, Threet's term of imprisonment will not be fixed by the supreme court, but will be determined by the Faulkner circuit court, in which he was tried.
 This fact became known today when the official mandate from the supreme court was received by Circuit Clelc J. H. Hartje. The mandate contains tine opinion in full, as delivered by As sociate Justice Frank Smith. After reviewing the proceedings in the lowe, court, the opinion states the court erred, in not giving at the defendant s request an instruction to the jury to the effect that his failure to testify was not to be taken as evidence against him, and on this ground the trial is reversed The court, however, goes further and states that as Threet is undisputedly guilty of carnal abuse, the case will. with the consent of coun- sel for the state, be remanded to the circuit court for sentence on that charge.
 Threet is still in jail at Conway and probably one of the first acts of the court when it convenes here January 12 will be to pronounce sentence upon him.

Hole No. Is, at present 215 yards, will
be heightened. the green being changed
to a position farther up the hill. The
present sixteenth hole will be changed
entirely. The tee will be placed near
the changed fifteenth hole, and the six

ing along by the fence.

be played hole No. II, and the golfer
will play the eighteenth hole as 1t Is at
present arriving on the home green
near the clubhouse.
Par for the course Will remain un-
changed under the conditions. al
though par for the holes may be
changed. 1t is expected that the change
in the course will add considerably to
the convenience Of the golfers, and Will
avoid the confusion Of having to drive
across the players who are coming in
from the eighteenth tee.
