Guilty of Manslaughter Is
"Just Verdict" of the
Jury
WARM is EX-SOLDIER
He Was Granted a Rctrial Because
Juror in Former Trial Made a
Bet on the Case

ST ALBANS, May 3-"Guilty of
manslaughter" was the verdict Of
the jury yesterday in Franklin
county court in the case of State VS..
Robert Warm, former soldier, who
was charged with the murder of Jen-
ME Hemingway, IA years old, in
this city on the night of August IL,
1917. The body was found in corn
field on the Newton road the morning
of the 18th. Verdict was given when
court came in at nine o'clock yes
terday morning, by B. H. Wood of
Georgia, the foreman. The jury had
had the case since 2.40 Thursday af-
ternoon.
care you certain you have render
ed just verdict" asked the county
clerk, G. C. Stevens.
"We certainly are," said Mr.. Wood.
r Warm received tiie~- verdict with
the same degree of calmness that
has marked his actions during the en-
tire trial. He had once before been
pronounced guilty of the crime and
was sentenced to serve 10 years in
the state prison, but the case was
sent back for retrial on the ground
that one of the former jurors had
bet cigar on the case.
The body of the girl was found in
a cornfield after an all-night search.
Warm had been her companion. His
defense was that he was attacked
by other soldiers while talking
with the girl and ran away. When it
was reported she had failed to return
home, he joined the searching party.

STATE PAY
FOR DRAFTED SOLDIERS
How to Obtain State Pay Under Re-

State pay of $40 month can be

The procedure is to write to Walter
Scott, state treasurer, for blank ap-
plications which should be made out
very carefully and sworn to.
To secure the return of a soldier
