days from today, unless the Vir-
ginia Supreme Court Of Appeals
should grant her a new trial, the
gates Of the penitentiary will
swing open for Edith Maxwell and
she must start serving a 20-year
sentence for the murder Of her
blacksmith father, Trigg Maxwell
Last night, after a hectic day
of argument, charges and counter
charges, Judge Ezra T. Carter
denied a motion of Defense Coun-
sci Charles Henry Smith to grant
the 22.year-old mountain school
teacher a new trial, and looking
at her said sternly:
at is the sentence Of this
court that the defendant be
confined to the State Peniten-
tiary for a term of 20 years."
AS he said this Miss Maxwell.
who had turned pale when Judge
Carter denied the motion to set
aside the verdict, gave a convul-
sive Shudder and bowed her head.
But she did not give way to
tears as she did when the jury
brought in a verdict of second
degree murder last December. In
a few minutes she had control Of
herself. Later she said:
"The decision of the Judge did
not come as a shock to me. 1
had expected it. 1 know that 1
cannot obtain justice down
here.
But I am innocent Of this
charge, and / believe that the
Supreme Court will grant me .
new trial. And 1 know that II
1 am given a trial away from
here, away from all this preju-
dice against me, I will be &C
quilted.
my chief concern right now Is
to get a job and earn some
money and keep busy until my
appeal has been acted upOn."
Immediately Judge Carter had
denied the motion for a new trial
and imposed sentence, Mr.. Smith
noted an appeal and moved to ar
rest execution of sentence pending
an appeal.
Last Chance of Appeal
Judge Carter allowed him 80
days, so to prepare the record Of
the case for the Supreme Court
and 80 days more to appear be-
fore that court and ask a writ OF
error.
This means that unless within
this time the justices of the higher
court grant the writ. Miss Max
well must surrender to the sheriff
and be taken to the penitentiary
with every means Of appeal ex-
hauSted.
In event the writ Of errors should
be granted by the court, she would
remain at liberty on bond until
such time as the court, with an
overcrowded docket now, could
reach the case, probably more
than year from now.
Judge Carter granted motion
of Mr.. Smith to allow her to re-
main at liberty under the $15,000
bond on which she was released
following her last conviction.
Commonwealth Attorney Fred
Greear opposed this and asked
that she be sent to the county
Jail at once pending the appeal
for a writ Of error. He asserted
that since her release she had
"been gallaVanting around the
country"
After the hearing, Miss Maxwell
went to the Pound, the little
mountain hamlet close to the Ken.
lucky border, where TIigg Max
well died.
Today she left for Richmond
with her brother, Earl, and will
stay on a little farm on the out
skirts of that city until the case
is finally settled, and she learns
her fate.

ROCKVILLE, Md, March 10.
Employment of prisoners, con:
victed in police court of minor VIC
lationS, on county-operated road
projects, is being considered by
the board Of Montgomery county
commissioners.
Last week Judge Harold c.
Smith, in Rockville police court,
sentenced two men to 80 days in
Jail for disorderly conduct. TAX
ing authority from an old county
law, he specified that they be en-
ployed on county or State roads.
This will be continued, the Judge
said, adding that he hoped the
commissioners would take advan-
tage of the opportunity to work
prisoners. He said he believed
this practice eventually would
solve the problem Of repeated vio-
lations by the same offenders.
Commissioner Frank H. Karn,
president Of the county board, TO-
day said the proposal was aimed
not so much at having work done
at small cost, as at the psyche
logical effect. The county would
be required to pay employed prison
ers rs cents a day, which would
be turned over to them at the eX-
piration Of their sentences.

SUGAR REFINER
DEMANDS BAN
0N0UTS|DERS
Keep u. S. Market
For American Firms
Is Plea to Congress

NEW YORK, March 10 Q.N.S).
Congress was urged today to turn
back the home sugar refining mar.
ket to domestic manufacturers, in
the annual report of the American
Sugar Refining Company.
Submitting a study Of the situa-
tion to the directors Of the firm,
Earl D. Babst, chairman Of the
board of American Sugar. recon-
mended legislation to halt Cuban
and other tropical refineries from
shipping sugar into the United
States for sale at lower prices
than it can be produced here.
LOOphOIe Blamed
Yearly the inflow from the
tropical refiners is equivalent to
the needs of 100000 Americans
and the report declares that this
market should belong to domestic
refinerS.
A loophole in the tariff law was
blamed. Cuba, the report says,
can send refined sugar here at
less duty than an American firm
must pay for the same amount Of
raw Cuban sugar. And there is
no tariff at all, Babst said, on
the huge amounts of the product
shipped here from Hawaii, Puerto
Rico and the Philippines.
Aid to Employment
Congress is studying the situa-
tion with a view to extending the
present sugar plan. The Babst
report attacks the plan in its
present form, charging that 1t
endangers the nations sugar sup
ply by leaving the country to de-
pend on Cuba and the tropical
possessions whose output is sub
ject to war, crop failure and hur-
ricaneS.
Return Of the market to domes-
tic refiners, BabSt says, would in
crease employment in America
and aid other industries as well
as insure sugar supply.
American Sugar Refining Com
pany, according to the report,
shows consolidated income from
all sources Of $6,510,276 which,
after depreciation and preferred
dividends, leaves $276 for the
common stock.

went on strike.
