Payne And Turner Sentenced
10 Die Mar. A For Staying Penn
Convicted In Asheville And
Sentenced Late Saturday
Night. Appeal Given.

Asheville. "A jury convicted Bill
Paynt and Wash Turner, North Car
dina outlaws, of first degree muir
der last Saturday night in the kill
ing of George Penn, highway pa
trolman, last August %.
The verdict, which automatically
carried death sentences for the des-
peradoeS, was returned at 1914 D..
m. The jury received the case at
Ills o'clock but took an hour for
supper.
Judge Felix E. Alley sentenced
the defendants to die in the gas
chamber on March A. The defense
filed notice of an appeal to the state
Supreme court.
A large crowd was in the court
room as the prisoners, closely
guarded by patrolmen, were
brought in few minutes before
the jury.
Payne, the first to hear the YER
dict, and Turner were calm as they
looked upon the jury, although
Payne had broken down and sobbed
few hours before.
Turner's former wife and his SIS
ter-in-law wept openly.
Possible VerdictS
a The case .yent to the jury at 7:15
m, after Judge Felix Alley in
structed that one of our verdicts
could be returned. First degree
murder, manslaughter, or acquittal.
Conviction of first degree murder
automatically carries the death pen
atty.
The trial began Tuesday and the
state concluded its testimony yes
terday. It's star witness was Sher-
iff Laurence E. Brown, who testified
Payne and Turner admitted killing
the patrolman, 25-year-old George
Penn, and re-enacted the crime for
officers.
No Defense Testimony
The defense offered no testimony.
Payne and Turner, serving long
terms for bank robbery, and other
crimes, led daring break with sew
en- other prisoners from the Gale
donia prison farm in the eastern
part of the state year ago, the pair
was trapped by Omen early this
month -
During their months of freedom
the desperadoes terrorized the state
with bank robberies and kidnap-
pings. A dozen times officers
thought they were on the bandits
trail, but Payne and Turner always
,eluded them.

Payne And Turner
Now Declare That
''Crime Doesn't Pay
Two DesperadOes, Now On
Death Row In Raleigh, Long
For Their Freedom.

Raleigh, Jan. 30.-Bill Payne
and Wash Turner are sorry that
George Penn, state highway patrol
man, was killed in their gun battle
with him.
They said so today on death row
at central prison, which they en-
tered early this morning following
their conviction in Buncombe scoun-
,ty yesterday Of first degree murder
in the staying Of the officer near
.Asheville last August.
And if they had their lives to
live over, they agreed, things would
be a lot different.
If Turner had not escaped the
first time has escaped three
times he would have finished his
term by now.
Payne said he would take ga diff
ferent attitude altogether" toward
life if he could begin again.
Both readily admitted their guilt
IN the Penn Staying.

courSed down his cheeks during
Judge Alleys charge. Now and then
he murmured to his aged mother,
who sat at his side.
Turner, however, showed no sign
er emotion or nervousness. He
talked with highway patrolmen and
chatted with his emartly-dressed
former wife.
After charging the jury, Judge
Alley recessed court until 10 a. m.
tomorrow, but told the jurors they
could return a verdict before IL
o'clock tonight and he would re-
ceive it.
The defense attorneys, in their
arguments, contended the state had
not proved generalization, which is
necessary for the first degree con-
viction. They argued the defendants
had the right to shoot to defend
themselves.
Solicitor Zeb v. Nettles, chief of
the prosecution staff, argued the
defendants had expressed the in-
tention to shoot it out rather than
be captured. This, he said, in itself
was premeditation, since they were
heavily armed.
Payne and Turner, alias Jack
Borden, escaped from prison Feb
.ruary IS last. With seven other
llong-termers they obtained pistol
from a released prisoner, overpow-
cred camp ofiicials, raided the
PRISONS arsenal, kidnapped two Off
Gals and made getaway in
laundry truck.
Later they seized two other au-
tonobiles, picked up another hos
taee. and dashed 400 miles with Off
GERS hot in pursuit. The hostages
were released unframed IL hours
later, near Southern Pines.
Careers Of Crime
The 35-year-old Turner began his
career of crime in San Diego, Calf,
where he was arrested in 1921 for
grand larceny He was arrested IN
Ell Paso, Tex, the next year for
violation of the Dyer act.
His next brush with the law was
nearer home, in Greensboro, N. c.
He was arrested there in March,
1927, for violation of the Harrison
act and larceny. Next he was ar
rested in Raleigh for store-break-
ing and sentenced to eight years.
He escaped soon afterward, and was
recaptured in Knoxville, Tenn.
Back in prison he was convicted
on an old charge of stealing an au-
tomobile and five to eight years
were added to his sentence. In
1924 he was sentenced to % years

reform Is necessary. A spiritual
renaissance is necessary before any
material reform can get under way.
Reforming systems alone IS no good.
We have to reform both the systems
and the men who make UP the sys-
tens Let no one misunderstood.
This is 10 pie in the sky stuff.
The Pope is not merely calling out
BE good. my children. and all will
be well" No. he insists on the ne
cessity OF reform OF the system as
well as OF the hearts OF men.
Help the Poor
To me as a priest and to the CLIO
members as union men there are
parts of the Encyclical especially
applicable. To me the words to be
taken most TO heart are those in
the very latest Encyclical. where he
calls on his priests to so TO the
worker and to the poor. He does
not ask us TO stand aside and show
fine impartiality while the worker
suffers. No, he commands us go to
the worker and the poor.
To you the Papal teaching on
unionism is worth while. First he
calls upon the worker 10 avoid class
hatred. above all not to meet evil
with evil. He abhorS any fostering
OF the class struggle. We are all
brothers. rich man. poor man, work.
er. capitalist. We are not TO hate
one another. as individuals or as
whatever the proyocation.
This does not mean that the
worker and his friends are TO sit
tamely and meekly while they are
despoiled OF their rights and possess
sionS. It does not deprive them OF
the right to strive manfully for
justice. II does mean that the
weapons TO be used in the strife are
those Of n-violence. II means
that workers should have nothing
to do with those movements. such
as Communism. which believes in
violence and class hatred as mat
ter OF course.
