GERMANS IN SAD PLIGHT
Texarkanian's Sister Writes of Con-
 ditiOns in War.Stricken Country.

Texarkana, Nov. 18.-Charlie Munch- meyer. a native of Germany, but for the last 35 years a resident of Texar- kama, has received letter from his sister, at Madgeburg, in which dark picture is drawn of conditions in that country. Few factories are able to op- crate on account of inability to obtain fuel, and many people. the letter says, are starving and freezing. Thousands are leaving for Chilli and other South American states in hopes of bettering their condition.
 The letter says that many former German army officers are in a deplOr- able situation. They are too proud to work, preferring to walk the back streets, hungry and clothed in rags. The people of that country, she said, are very hopeful that Harding's cleo tion will bring them relief in some way from America.

Life Imprisonment is the
 Sentence Given Bandits

Hot Springs, Nov. 1S-Tom Slaugh- ter and Fulton Green, convicted this afternoon by a jury verdict of first de- gree murder for the killing of Deputy Sheriff Row Brown here October 10, were transferred under civil and mili- tary guard by motor convoy to the state penitentiary for safe-keeping.
 The state made a hard fight for the death penalty for the men, After the verdict, with it's sentence of life in the penitentiary was read in court Attorney George F. Wilmington, act ing for the defendants, waived all rights that had been preserved in the trial of the case and the men stood up for immediate sentence.
 Slaughter and Green both indicated their satisfaction with the verdict un- der the circumstances, but after being sent back to jail to await transporta- tion, declared that if they had had time to prepare for the trial they could have proved that where the shooting took place they were expecting other party by engagement to receive liquor and that they believed when the officers in civilian clothing, came up they were being stuck up."
 Later they said they heard the men they shot were officers and then they believed the officers knew their iden- tity and were trying to capture them, but they are convinced now that the officers merely tried to detain them on the highway for an investigation, not knowing their identity.
