ADMITTED KILLING
HUSBAND ON JULY 3
But Claimed Self Defense;
Has Been In Jail Without
Bail Since That Time;
Trial Has Been Under Way
More Than Week in Vance
Superior Court

Mrs Ruby Wilder Ellington, 30
ycar-old Blonde, was acquitted of the
murder of her husband, Hartwell
Rec" Ellington, 25, by 13man jury
in Vance Superior Court, which
brought in a verdict at 1890 o'clock
th, afternoon after celebrating one
hour and 35 minutes.
The defendant was on trial for first
degree murder the only woman in
the history of Vance county ever to
face that charge, and the trial had
been in progress since last Thursday.
She shot her husband to death in
George Rockers cafe at North Hen
derson the night of last July 3.
On hearing the words, mot guilty"
from the jurors, Mrs. Ellington swoon
ed into the arms of two of her sis
tiers and wept freely. She quickly re-
covered her composure, however, and
walked across the bar to shake hands
with members of the jury and thank
them in person. Her father, j. G.
Wilder who was one of the chief de-
Tense witnesses, and sisters also
thanked the jury for the acquittal.
Taking of testimony ended Monday
afternoon and arguments by counsel
consumed two entire days Tuesday
and Wednesday. Judge w. c. Harris
charged the jury for one hour and 20
minutes Immediately after the open
ing of the court today, giving the
case to them at 1855 a. m. He en-
phasized the self-defense aspect OF
the defendants contentious.
The jury was allowed its liberty
over the past weekend, the dispers-
ing Of a jury in the midst of a first
degree murder case being without
precedent in this county, so far as
could he recalled. The 13 men were
kept together, however, up to that
time, and had been since they re-
assembled Monday morning for the
resumption of the testimony.

NEXT PRESIDENT
TO REvAMP COURT
Roosevelt Will Have Chance
To Turn High Tribunal
Into Liberal
BY CHARLES p. STEWART
Central Press Staff Writer

Washington, Oct 15- American
voters quite likely will be choosing
a Federal Supreme Court majority
on November's election day, as well
as a president, House of Represen-
tatives and one-third of the members
of the Senate.
The high court is predominantly
conservative now.
But it is fairly certain to be largely
made over in the course of the COM
ing four years. If it is made over
through appointments by a conserva-
tive president, undoubtedly it will
stay conservative. If made over by a
liberal chief executive, it easily can be
given quite a liberal complexion.
WINNER WILL CHANGE 1T
That is to say, November's White
House winner probably will have the
choosing of four, five or maybe six
new justices before the end of his
1937-to-1941 term. Let him make lib
eral selections and the court, by that
time, will be moUe than one-half lib
eral. Let him select conservatives and
the tribunals majority will remain as
stand-pat as today; perhaps will have
become even more so.
Seldom or never has a single presi-
dent been called ON to name more
than two Supreme Court justices.
Therefore, changes in their total
personnel have been very gradual.
They started as an extremely con-
sentative group-a group which has
been somewhat diluted with liberal
ism, but only by the slowest of slow
