High Court Refuses New Trial

THE AGE- IL f.hALD
Montgomery, Ala. April 10 |

Russell Malloy, Birmingham boy,
must go to prison for 25 years, under
sentence imposed by the Limestone
circuit court following his convic-
ton of a statutory offense IN a SEN
sational trial last year. The sem
tence was upheld by the supreme
court in a decision announced Thurs
day.
Malloy sought new trial prin-
cipally on the refusal of the trial
judge to grant him a change OF
venue. He contended that the minds
of the people of Limestone county
were inflamed against him and that
he was tried only a short lime after
the offense was alleged to have been
committed. The trial court held that
the publication of stories regarding
the alleged offense in other cities
did not indicate that the people of
Limestone could not grant him a fair
trial and that evidence supporting
his petition for a trial in another
county was not sufficient to war
rant change of venue.
The girl involved lived in Florence
and the offense Is alleged to have
been committed while she was at
tending a meeting of the Epworth
league at Athens.
TREASURER MUST PAY
In another decision the supreme
court affirmed the judgement of the
Blount circuit court which award
ed Blount county verdict for 81, 1872
Sc against Lon Shelton, former coun-
ty treasurer, and his personal bonds
men. The county contended that
Shelton did not account far and pay
all the money due the county. Shell
ton insisted that an adjustment was
made with the court of county COM
missioners The supreme court held
that the alleged adjustment was not
made at a formal session of the court
and was invalid.
A judgement for $500 against the
Southern railway which was awarded
H. O. Hall for alleged false imprison-
ment was affirmed Hall was arrest
ed in Jefferson county and held over
night on a charge of stealing APP
pies from freight car. He con-
tended that the arrest resulted from
the activities of Fl. II. Moreland, an
agent of the railroad.
