JURY DECLARES
MANNING GUILTY
Negro Farm Boss Sentenced TO
Prison.
TO SERVE LIFE TERN
Defendant Again Tells His Story of
Killing Negroes OH Williams
Farm.

=, Cov.ington Ga, Mayo 31.-Clyde
Manning, negro farm boss for John S.
Williams, was convicted of murder
IN superior court here late today and
sentenced to life imprisonment-th
same sentence passed upon Williams
When he was convicted here a short
Tune ago, Manning had testified he
AIDED Williams in killing negro farm
hands to halt peonage investigations
life.
The jury was out 35 minutes and
then returned the same verdict as
that of the Williams jury-murder
with recommendation for mercy,
which automatically carried a life
term. e. Marvin Underwood. en-
ploycd by a group of Georgians to
represent Manning, made a motion
for a new trial and Judge John B.
Hutcheson fixed the hearing for July
30 at Decatur. Williams also is seek
ing a new trial.
Manning was tried on the specific
charge of the murder of Lindsey Pc
terson, of whose murder Williams
was convicted and today he calmly
lrecited the story he told at the Will
lams trial, claiming he had another
negro killed IL farm hands on Will
hams orders. Later Manning claims
to have slain the other negro. Pc
terson and two other negroes were
alleged to have been brought into
this county at night from the Jas
per county farm and drowned.
Under Georgia law Manning could
not have been held accountable had
ne been able to convicc the jury he
killed the men through fear for his
own life and the defense based it's
case, on this while the state sought
to SHOW. the negro was "a willing
accomplice."

NEW YORK, Oct. 7.-All the boyish
vows of vengeance which the then II
vear-old Waite Hoyt made back IN the
spring of 1916 when he was given to the
Memphis club of the Southern league by
Manager John J. NcGraw of the Giants
were realized yesterday afternoon when
that same right-handed pitcher, now with
the Yankees and fine outstanding figure
of an athlete, gave the Giants two hits
and shut them out, 3 to o, in the second
straight American league victory in this
all-New York world series at the Polo
Grounds.
This Brooklyn lad, now % years old.
pitched one of the most remarkable of
all world series games before the capacity
crowd. He allowed the mighty National
league champions two hits. one scratchy
affair. and continued the almost perfect
box work of the Yanks, which Carl Mays
initiated so Signally the preceding after
noon when he piloted the Hugmen to a
3 to victory in almost as summary a
style.
Hoyt's control was not so flawless as
was that of Mays Wednesday, for Waite
gave FIVE passes. But when in trouble he
was as cool as old Daddy Time himself,
and. as was the case with the Yanks in
back of the Mays flinging, the American
leaguers gave Waite perfect support,
which at times almost touched the sensa-
tiOnal.
