LIFE SENTENCE
GIVEN BOY ON
MURDER CHARGE

| Francis Berryhill, siXteen-year-
! old youth. was convicted by a jury
in the criminal division of the SUI
perior court Tuesday afternoon on a
charge of murder, and was sentenced
to life imprisonment by Judge j.
| Render Terrell. 1t was charged the
lad was implicated with two other
young men about his own age in
the murder of Mack Herndon, an
aged negro Waterman, at the plant
of the Southern Furniture company,
near Bellwood avenue, on the night
of August %. Marvin Galloway.
seventeen years old, one of the al
legged trio, is held at the county Jail
awaiting trial, and Charlie Powers
eighteen years old, is being sought
by the police.
1t is charged by the police that
the three boys went to the furniture
plant for the purpose of robbery, and
when surprised by the Waterman
they are alleged to have beat the
aged negro to death with an iron
pipe. Galloway and Powers are said
to have done the actual killing, while
Berryhill stood on the Bel1Wood
bridge watching to see they were not
disturbed. Barryhill, it is said, testi-
fed before the grand jury and i'm
plicated Galloway and Powers, but
when the case of Galloway was called
for trial a few days ago, Solicitor
General John A. Boykin said he had
received information that BerryhilI
was going to repudiate his testimony
given before the grand jury, and
asked for a continuance. Friday the
grand jury returned an indictment
of murder against Berryhill.
In his statement to the jury Berry
hill said he was induced by Gala
way and Powers to accompany them
TO the furniture plant. and it was
arranged that he would stand guard
at the bridge while they went in
side the building. He was to warn
his confederates of the approach of
any one by striking on the rail of
the bridge with a piece of metal.
He said he stood there until he
heard the Waterman cry out, and
then he ran away, meeting his con-
federates later. He said he was to
receive a dollar from both Galloway
and Powers for his part but when
the three met later he said they did
not tell him what had happened and
did not give him any money.
With the exception Of burying his
face in his hands the boy showed
no outward emotion when sentence
was passed upon him. Throughout
the trial he seemed somewhat dazcd,
arousing himself only at times to an

attorneys. He resided in Bellwood.

Kerwhop! A Bag of Prunes
RoutS LiSpinq Footpad

PHIL ADELPHIA. - A foOtpad
with a lisp and a long pistol, shot
a man twice in an attempt to hold
him up, but all he got was a blow
on the head with a bag of prunes.
William Monroe, proprietor Of a
restaurant, was feeling rather
pleased at the dawn of his forty
third birthday. He raked together
$3.50 from his cash drawer, picked
up bag of prunes and started
home. He reflected it was the I'M
luckiest of all days as - surveyed
the sombre scenery to see if there
were any ''jinxes" lettering about.
There was. A tall man wearing
black SLOUGH hat rushed up to
him.
"Handth up" he lisped.
"What?" asked Monroe.
"Handth UP, handth up" demand
ed the man, Doking a pistol into
Monroes stomach.
Talk so l can understand you
"Handth up-up-up," exploded the
highwayman.
Kerwhop! And Monroe's bag of
prunes hit the bandit a wicked blow
on the head. Keeling, he pulled the
trigger twice and fed. Monroe's
wounds are not serious.
