FATHER ANDSQN
CONVICTED As
SLAYERS
c. w. and Elmer Stewart, Al
legged to Have Killed Two
Officers, Appeal

SOUTHPORT, N. c., Oct. Ia
Sentences to death in the hush of
a Sunday afternoon. a father and
son, convicted of Staying two pro-
hibition officers last July, are held
in the dingy county Jail here today,
while their removal to cells in the
death house at the Raleigh state
penitentiary is delayed, pending the
outcome of an appeal for a new
trial.
c. w. Stewart, forty-six, and his
son Elmer twenty-one, are the orin-
cipals. On July 20, they are alleged
to have shot to death Detective Ser
geant Leon George and Deputy
United States Marshal Sam Lilly.
The Staying caused a tremendous
sensation at the time and the trial
has attracted widespread interest
throughout eastern North Carolina.
The defense's appeal is hinged
upon the verdict of the jury which
found the defendants guilty of
murder in the first degree with the
mercy of the court" That, the
court contends, is immune from at.
tack by the defense.
