WicomicO and Dorchester counties
in Maryland.
General Sessions Court convened
here Monday morning, with Judges |
Rodney, Rice and Richards on the
bench, for the purpose of imposing
sentence on Nathaniel COnaway, of |
SeafOrd, who on April 5, 1928, was
convicted of perjury in the famous
will case of the late William S. Kin
ney, Of Seaford, which had attracted
Statewide attention and is one of
the most famous will contest cases
ever held in Delaware.
Owing to the illness of Mr.. Con-
away, the case was continued until
October 8.
After conviction on April 5, last
year, motion for a new trial and |
arrest of judgment was made by
James M. Tunnel, counsel for the
defendant. On April 8 a new trial
was refused, and the Court fixed a
sentence of two years Imprisonment
the payment of fine of $500 and
cost of prosecution. On the same
date an appeal was taken to the Su-
preme Court Of the State and at the
June term of General Sessions Court
this year the decision of the Court
below was affirmed, and Monday fix
ed as the time for imposing sen
tence.
Finding that Mr.. Conaway was
unable to be in Court to receive SEN
tence because of illness, the Court
issued the following statement con-
cerning the case: Nathaniel Coma
way has been convicted Of perjury
by a jury of Sussex county after a
'air and impartial trial in which he
was ably defended. Upon a writ of
error his conviction has recently
)een affirmed by the Supreme Court.
We are now set to consider and i'm
pose the sentence provided by the
aw. We have been furnished with
| certificate from his family physi-
,ian stating that Mr.. Conaway is
confined to his home and to his bed
n an almost helpless condition and
las been unable to dress himself for
he past year. His heart and his ar
cries are said to be seriously af-
ected and the physician states that
le could not long live after the i'm
position of a prison sentence.
mot being satisfied with this re-
port the Court, entirely of its own
accord, has appointed two able and
physicians Of Sussex
county to examine Mr.. Conaway and
o make report of his condition.
The physicians appointed were DR..
Rowland G.. Paynter and DR.. Joseph
3. NAPLES. Their report shows that
Mr.. Conaway is 70 years old and that
