to 26 years Imprisonment and fined
81 900 and costs on a. charge OF man

and Judges Harrington and Richards
in Court OF oyer and Terminer this
morning.
Olivia changed his plea Of not
guilty 10 charge OF murder TO a
plea Of guilty to a charge of man
slaughter this morning. when the
State had virtually concluded it's
case. Only one witness was heard this
morning when J. Frank Ball, attor-
ney for Olivia, retired 10 an outside
room with his client after a short con-
ference with the judges and Deputy
Attorney General Southerland. Upon
their return to the court room, Mr.
Ball announced his clients intention
OF changing his plea. The plea was
accepted by the State. ....
In pronouncing sentence, Chief
Justice Pennewill remarked that the
court did not believe st necessary to
comment at length on the crime com
mitted by Olivia. He said that the
State. approaching the seriousness OF
the crime, had asked that the maxi
mum sentence of thirty years be Inn
posed. That sentence would not be i'm
posed. the chief justice apprised Olivia
but the sentence TO be imposed was
one that would meet the requirements
OF justice so far as he was concerned
and would serve es an ample warning
to others. He then pronounced judg-
ment.
