have a baby, became the subject of 2
psychiatrist's battle.
Two were for the defense, which
contends Donald's reasoning was so
defective because of immaturity that
he was unable to tell right from
wrong, and two for the State, which
contends it was willful murder.
The first psychiatrist called by the
defense was DR.. Samuel Fagen, who
expressed the opinion Donald's mind
was temporarily deranged when he
shot the girl, and that the sound of
the shot brought him back to his
senses. Under cross-examination late
yesterday Donald was asked by the
prosecutor why he did not carry out
his part of the suicide pact.
The boy, dry-lipped, replied: II was
thinking about saving her."

Raleigh, May 26.-Here's signifi-

urer Charlie Johnson hasn't any pre-

Recently Governor Clyde r. Hosy
was asked to speak at the Wallace
strawberry fete this week. He couldn't
ACCEPT and called Mr.. Johnson, asking
him to substitute or if he couldn't
get someone who would.
The Treasurer couldn't make the
address himself, so he called up Com
missioner of Revenue A. j. Maxwell,
another reputed aspirant for guDer-
material honors two years hence.
Which wouldn't make sense If the
state treasurer himself were really
listening to the buzz of the governor

tainly not to prospective rival.
