WHITES|DE HEARS
 DEATH SENTENCE
Convicted of Murdering Con- federate Veteran and Boy,
 Without Provocation

John Whiteside, negro, was sen tenced to hang yesterday by Judge Dan A. Greene. The date of execution was fixed as August 19.
 Whitesfde was convicted several weeks ago. following lengthy trial, on charge of murder in two cases before Judge Greene. He Is alleged to have killed J. L. Bourgeouis, 73- year-old Confederate veteran. and Lacey Murphree, his 15year- old companion, near Henry Ellen few months ago.
 Prior to passing sentence. the court heard testimony as to the sanity of the defendant, whose attorney had made application for new trial on the ground that additional evidence a to the sanity of the negro had been found since the trial.
 pr. B. l.. Wyman stated that in his opinion the negro was sane, but was feigning insanity. His opinion was based, he declared, upon an examina- ftion of the negro and the reading of the testimony given by him at the trial and facts gathered from the officials at the jail who have been watching Wh teside since he has been confined there. However. Dr. Wyman stated he had not had as long time to watch the defendant as he wished.
 Following the passing of the sem tence, Judge Greene stated he would take up the matter with Gov. Thomas E. Kilby in an effort to have physi- clans observe the negro closely be- tween now and the date of execution. Officers declare the double murder, alleged to have been committed by Whiteside was one of the most brutal that ever occurred in this county Ac- cording to the evidence, MT. Bour- geouis and Lacey Murphree were killed. as they were returning from fishing trip.
 According to officers, the negro confessed to committing the double murder and statsd he was behind a bush and shot the aged veteran and when the boy ran, shot him to keep him from telling. The negro then at tempted to make his escape, but was arrested In Chattanooga two days later by officers who had traced him there.

Judge Abernethy Comes 10 Aid of Unemployed Negroes
 in Matter Of House Rent
His SubCourt of Arbitration Utilized for Tenants and Landlords to Talk Hard Times Over-Many Cases of Minor Litigation and Dis
 possession Are Averted
By ETHEL GInLEN

Negro residents of the BirminG- ham district who are out of work and who have been trying to keep up with their house rent and grocery bills with little or no money coming in. may now feel considerably relieved to find out the agents and real estate men of the city are willing to talk the matter over with them and try and find some way by which they will not be forced to move.
 This has been brought about during the past week through the activities of the negro court of arbitration, but mostly through the advice and leadership of Judge H. B. Abernethy, who is the founder of the court of arbi- tration.
 The court met last Sunday to try and find some means of meet ing the house rent bills of the unfortunates who are out of work and without funds. It was stated that attachment suits were being brought against many members of the race for their possessions, such as furniture and other household goods, because they were unable to pay their rent.
 Judge Abcrnethy advised the officers of the negro court of ar- bitratiOn to appoint n committee to meet with the landlords and agents of the city and try and work out some means of aid for these people and to adjust such cases out of court,
 The committee now reports that most favorable results have been obtained and that they found the
