CATL|N DEFENSE
HIT BY RULING
Testimony for Woman Who Is
Charged With Fathers
Murder Rejected.

WENTWORTH, N. c., February 90
First efforts Of the defense TO corrobo-
rate Mrs Alma Petty Gatlin's story that
her mother killed her father. Smith T.
Petty. with an AK were baked this
morning when Judge Cameron McRae
sustained the States objection TO the
testimony of Mrs Robert Rascoe of
Reidsville. Mrs. Gatlin is charged with
the killing
Mrs RaScoe was called by the defense
10 corroborate Mrs. Gatlin's statement
that she had begged her dying mother
TO confess. Solicitor S. Porter Graves
Immediately objected TO the proposed
testimony on the ground that it con-
stituted presentation of a self-serving
declaration. and the jury was sent from
the room while counsel argued.
Tells of Hearing Pleas.
Mrs. Rascoe was instructed TO recite
the story with the jury out. She told
the court that she was in the Petty
home during the last illness OF Mrs
Petty and heard Mrs. Gatlin urging
her mother to confess.
Asked by p. w Glidewell. chief de-
fense attorney. to tell exactly what
happened Mrs Rascoe said she was
at the Petty home and heard Mrs. Cat
lin talking about ''her mother going TO
hell"
II told her there was no need to
worry about that" Mrs. Rascoe said.
but she told me I want her to die
right. Just one thing will send her
10 hell"
The witness had declared before the
Jury that she was present when a
minister was summoned. In the ab-
sence Of the jury she went further in
details Of the story, saying the preacher
finally did arrive
Asked About Repentance.
Mrs Gatiin asked the preacher II he
believed in death-bed repentance, she
said That was all the conversation
she heard.
Counsel argued over the admissibility
of the testimony. Gli6eweli contending
that they were offering 1t TO corroborate
the defendants testimony on the stand.
THE defendant has testified her
mother killed her father" he said. I'VE
submit al this time this statement was
made the defendant had not been ac-
cused Of the crime and therefore We
think this proper corroborat,ve evi-
dence"
Solicitor Graves contended that 1t
was too much after the homicide oc-
CURED" He said further 1t would be
self-serying and appeared TO be brought
in her own interest" Judge McRae
upheld the objection and dismissed the
witness before the jury returned.

Frogs Will Play
First Game With
Teachers College
Especial to The Herald)


FORT WORTH, Sept. 2i.-Coach
Matty Bell of Texas Christian uni
versity will get his first chance to
observe his 1928 football team in
real competition at Fort Worth Sat
urday when the East Texas State
Teachers from Commerce invade
Frogland. From all reports the
Teachers have one of the best teams
they have had in several years, and
supporters Of the East Texas insti-
tuition predict a stiff battle.
In all probability, Bell will give
each man on his squad a chance Sat
urday- The caLber Of the r. G. u.
stock is still untried and critics are
looking to Saturdays game to deter
mine If graduation Of nine letter
men last spring materially hurt the
Frogs. Especially will interest be
centered on the end positions, where
the loss Of Raymond Rags" Mat
thews, Grin Steadman and Albert
Acker, all three-year letter men, left
the purple without veteran wingmen.
The ball swapping job will also Be
IN hands Of new men, as both last
year centers were among the grad
utes. The backfield is one of veter-
an letter men as is the line from
tackle to tackle with the exception
OF center.
One Of the notable improvements
that Frog fans viii notice is added
strength in punting. For the last
three years the Christians have
been weak in that department. but
with ToIer, who bore the brunt of
the kicking last year. Eddleman. who
is q consistent kicker, and Buster
Walker, the most consistent bc,tcr
on the squad, all on the starting
eleven, followers Of the team will
breath more freely when the fourth
down comes.

Many Valley fans remember Rog-
ers Hornsby, as a member OF the St.
Louis National League baseball club,
when they trained down here several
years ago. Also, they remember that
he was traded to the New York Gil
ants, after having been made mana
ger Of the Red Birds, and winning
the pennant; and after spending one
year under McGraw, was traded TO
the Boston Braves. where he was
made manager Don after the season
started. Hornsby has a six-year con-
tract with the Braves. He has been
criticized and praised. The following
editorial Of recent date appeared in

There's not much to choose be-

The St. Louis Cardinals have made

HoRNsBY INCREASES HIS HOLD

The recent announcement by
President Fuchs of the Boston

six-year contract with Rogers
Hornsby, was made. IL now ap-
pears, to quiet persistent reports
that H0rnsby and Boston might
part company. In which connec-
ton ii might have been equally
appropriate to have a statement
from Hornsby himself that it is
his hope and pleasure to remain
in Boston until the end OF his
term. That would settle the Cos
sip that still circulates that the
Raiah has not found the situa-
ton in the Hub as agreeable as
il could be.

Hornsby toward certain players

Is no further heard, for which
the manager himself can again
be commended. since he has
shown, so far as the records 20,

Hornsby has strongly resented
these charges Of -favOritism,"
and as Burt Whitman comments
-You've got to believe Hornsby
when he says anything: he's the
most outspoken man in baseball
and as honest and sincere as they
come"
Also, we would like to add,
Hornsby Is showing himself a
tactful man, ~ well as an out
spoken and sincere one. He has
taken fare of his end OF a sit

Well, It's about time South

ties were issuing their alibis-
Poor material, injuries. etc, Is
the vail each year before the
start of the season. Use Univer-
sity Of Texas has in the past,
been the worst offender along
this line. Maybe IL will be diff
ferent now since LittEefield il

But the fans and alumni Of the diff

these alibis. It's how hard are you
trying TO put out a good team that
they are interested in.
VIZ are glad Of one thing-the
rule makers Of football haven't made
many changes in the rules Stabilize
the rules and football will become
more popular. In this way fans will
learn the rules and know what's GO
ing on on the field Of play.

Carey Selph. the crack second
baseman Of the Houston baseball
club, will act as assistant football
coach at Baylor University, Waco

Hunt played professional baseball

Fessenden's charges tangle with
Santa Rosa. This will be a sort
of warming mp affair, but IL will
give both coach and fans an ink

The white wing season is over
on the last day of this month.
IL might well have closed the
first day Of this month. There
hasn't been any birds 10 mount

The law governing the shooting OF
white wings, starts on July LIST and
ends October 1st. Local hunters are
talking Of taking mean towards hav-
ing the Law changed and having II
start on August 1st and close some
time during September. During the
month Of July these birds are nest

shooting month. In September

a little cool weather-these birds mi

Well, If the Cardinals don't win the
pennant in the National league. they
can console themselves by pointing
to Houston as a winner.
