Penitentiary electric chair this
week.
Penitentiary officials were pro-

They were acting on advice of a

Neal Trial
Set For Next
Monday, Oct. 30

The second trial of W. Squire
Neal on a charge of concealing
$4,000 in a golf bag in the now
celebrated Neal case will be called
for Federal court Monday.
Neal was convicted on three
counts last year but upon appeal
to the U. S. district court of ap-
peals the conviction was reversed
and a new trial ordered.
The U. S. district attorneys of
fee had the alternative of agree
ing to a dismissal or trying to con-
vict Neal again. 1t chose the latter
course.
Evidently the U. S. attorneys
will try to send the funeral director
to prison. General opinion is that
if the government could not estab-
fish a case that would stand against
