Death of Young High School
Principal.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, December IS.
Lee Phillips, Alabama convict, today
was said by Gov. Bibb Graves to have
repudiated previous statements that he
witnessed the Staying of Claude F.
Avant, young Slocomb High School
principal, which the State planned to
use in an effort to convict five men
of the crime.
Phillips, the governor said in q pre-
pared statement. not only admitted he
lied" at the preliminary trial at
Geneva a month ago of DR.. G. w.
Smith, prominent Geneva physician, and
son Clyde, who with three others are
charged with the crime, but branded
as untrue the statements Of his wife
that he was coerced into testifying.
The investigation by the Government
was prompted by the assertion of Mrs.
Phillips that her husband was f1ogged
at the Atmore Prison Farm and on his
transfer to Kilby Prison here was forced
to sit in the electric chair for eight
days until he agreed to testify that DR..
Smith stabbed Avant to death on the
night of September 28, 1928, with the
assistance of himself, Clyde Smith,
Randall Jones and Charley Brown.

The lining was of old-fashioned striped

have slipped down inside. There was
an envelope in the lid, but it was

Rhoda said shakily, "Well, that's all,

was in the trunk and she was mistaken.

in it and he must have been mistaken,

Rhoda got up stifiy and announced
her intention of getting lunch. I'm

He smiled at that, but only vaguely, and
didn't offer to come and help, so she
made coffee and heated up a can of
corned beef hash and set the little table
while he continued to sit on the floor,
shutting his yellow papers.
They were so occupied when Babe, 1t

unaware that she was looking at mar

q trifle as it detailed how it had &C.

oil investment trust, registered the
largest single sale in the first two hours
as a block of 1890 shares came out

at 20.
The Standard Oils improved. Stand

until Standard of Kentucky quick
ened its pace. Illinois Pipe Line point

Motor shares were a trife stronger
than they have been for several days
Talk of a possible dividend for Ford
Motor of Canada perhaps attracted
some buying into that issue. The group
benefited from trade reports to the
effect that cross section of motor opin-
