Man Convicted Twice
In Staying Of Wife
Loses Appeal
Will Kinurd Scheduled
To Be Executed
December Is

Twice convicted Of flrst-degree
murder for the Staying of his wife,
Will Kinard, colored, is scheduled
to be executed on December 16. The
United States Court of Appeals
which had reversed an earlier con-
viction, today affirmed the trial
courts finding.
The Government charged Kinard
with shooting and killing his wife.
Laura Kinard, on November 6, 1896.
Their children, the only eyewitness,
testified for the Government. The
homicide occurred at 2l7 Third
street SW and the two children,
William kinard, jr.. II, and Pauline
Kinard, 8, took the witness stand
and gave evidence that will send
their father to the chair.
Todays decision of the United
States Court of Appeals held that
Kinard had a fair and impartial
trial and waved aside the defense
contention that the court had er-
roneously charged the jury regard
ing statements made by the defend
ant himself.
Court Upholds Charge.
Associate Justice Justin Miller,
who wrote today's opinion, recalled
that Kinard had twice been convict
ed and that judgment of murder IN
the first degree was reversed by that
tribunal earlier. The ground of re-
versal was that the trial judge had
failed properly to instruct the jury
concerning manslaughter.
The Court OF Appeals said in its
opinion today that no objection or
exception was taken to the charge
as given by the trial judge when the
question YVES raised for the first time
on appeal.
Kinard, through his counsel, con-
tended the trial courts charge was
erroneous because he had improperly
emphasized evidence unfavorable to
the accused. The appellate tribunal
today, however, held that the court
had instructed the jury properly and
gave accurate instruction concern
ing self defense, which had con-
tended that the mother had knife
in her hand shortly before the shoot
ing and that she was about to throw
a salt-shaker at the father. The
Government had produced evidence
showing that the woman had been
shot six times, once in the left arm
and five times in the chest and alb
domen, and six empty cartridges
were taken from the appellants gun
and were put into evidence.
Stay Follows Appeal.
Kinard's date OF execution was
set for last July 8, but due to the
fact that his case was on appeal,
Justice Jesse C. Adkins granted
stay of execution until December is.
Arguing the case for the Govern
ment were United States Attorney
David A. Pine and Assistant United
States Attorney John w. Fihelly,
as we'll as Roger Robb, who was an
assistant United States attorney at
the time of the trial and is now
engaged in the private practice of
law.

Richardson, asked for a District
Court hearing, which was set for
January 6.
According to Detective Sergts. j..
r. Cox and Guy Rome, the defend
ant is wanted for murder in con-
nection> with the stabbing of Ben
Pettiford, colored, on December 16,
1888. She was arrested at her
home by the two Officers = the

Highway Advances
Discussed al Par|ey
Of Research Unit Here
Safety and Engineering
Methods Are Topics
At Symposium

Discussions of the latest develop
ments in highway safety, engineer
ing and modernization were begun
today by members of the Highway
Research Board of the National Re
search Council at its 18th annual
meeting in the National Academy Of
Sciences Building.
Speakers from all over the country
will pool data on highway advance
ments at the five-day meeting.
Among the 500 expected to attend
are scientists interested in better
road materials, builders interested in
better construction conditions. traf-
fic men working on improved safety.
as well as road designers and road
side developers.
The group is composed of city,
State and national road administra-
ton officials, highway material man
ufacturers, university researchmen
and various automobile association
representatives.
Soil Investigations Given.
The opening session today was
devoted to reports on soil investi-
cations, mechanics and stabiliza-
ton Difficulties encountered in
building roads through varying
types of terrain we're outlined and
methods used to overcome them
were given.
In several States, it was noted.
small portable laboratories were
taken out on construction jobs to in
sure quick analysis of soils encoun-
tered. From results of laboratory
tests, directions for types of mate
rials to be used on fills and strength
of road bodies could be given on the
spot.
The Ohio Highway Department
reported it had 80 such laboratories
in use with successful results. In
that State, 1t was pointed out, a
great variety of soil conditions are
encountered.
Flood Problems Discussed.
Particular mention was given
difficulties encountered with floods
in the Ohio River valley. Destruc-
ton of roads by floods offer great
problem to road engineers, but
gradually by modern research meth
ods these difficulties are being solved.
During a discussion of recent
trends in soil mechanics it was
brought out that many generally ac-
cepted theories have been aban-
doned in favor of observed per-
formance of structures This trend
also was noted in testing soils.
Traffic safety, with particular en-
phasis on speed regulations on rural
highways, driver tests and pedes-
TRAN control, drinking drivers and
general human elements in driving
will be discussed at sessions later
this week.
