The state supreme court last
week handed down a decision affirm
ng the verdict of the circuit court at
Batesville sentencing w. d. Craw-
ford to the penitentiary for ten years.
Friends here of Prof. Crawford were
hopeful that he could show to the
court some cause for reversal of the
verdict rendered in the lower court
but this it seems he could not do. The
court says the case was examined IN
its every detail and that no erro.- JUS.
tifying new trial can be found. We
understand the professor will leave
Sunday for Little Rock to begin his
sentence, and we also learn that a
petition is being circulated asking
the governor for pardon and that
attorneys will go before the govern
or at an early date to present the pc
tition and make plea for his Glenn
ency.-Berryville Star
