to the charge Of numbering
his girl friend with a switch

to life Imprisonment, Tues

"a plain, deliberate, pre-
meditated and brutal MUIR
DER, and remarked that if
the case had been heard by a
jury, it might have sent him
to the electric chair.
Rosby, who had been en-
ployed in Roanoke for about
two years, had been going

approximately all of his stay
in Roanoke. 1t was brought
out in the trial that the
couple had a spat, and that

No Way To
Avoid Indignation

DR.. John T. Fey, dean Of
George Washington Univer-
sity Law School, admitted
to a meeting of collie G e
women that there is no le-
gal way to avoid indignation.
The dean also pointed out
that the Supreme Court
would soon be implementing
their decision and most like
ly will refer any defiance"
cases to the local courts. The
inclinations to become "pri-
vate" schools, rather than
conform is unconstitutional
and in direct violation of
the 18th amendment, accord
ing to DR.. Fey's interpre-
tation. He also stated that
Certain statements by some
southern governors do not,
of necessity, reflect the
opinion of the educated
groups, who want integra-
ton.

On Voting
BY LEAGUE OF WOMEN
VOTERS OF ROANOKE

Every voter wants his
vote to count. Yet in every
election many ballots are
thrown out because they are
incorrectly marked.
Virginia law provides that
a ballot may be marked with
a cross (x), a check mark
or a line(-). Any other
method serves to invalidate
the ballot. Moreover, mark
ing or defacing the ballot in
any way serves to invali-
date it.
Voting for more candi-
dates than there are vacan-
cies also serves to invalidate
the ballot. Thus, in the No
vember End election, only
one should be voted for in
the House Of Representa-
tives section, and only one
in the Senate section of the
ballot.
Local registrars have in
dicated that using ink to
mark your ballot may some
times serve to invalidate it
as ink smears might make
! it appear that too many can
didates Rad been voted for.

thinking that someone else
was attacking him, tried to
fight the other person off.
However, he also stated
that he was upset because
he found out that another
man was going with her
but that he had no inten-
ton of killing her. Witness
for the prosecution, how
ever, stated that ne had
threatened to kill the girl on
Friday evening-the night
prior to the killing.
Having killed her, he then
cut his own throat, got into
his car and tried to drive
to his home, Statesville, N.
c., but his car crashed and
he was apprehended by the
state police near Boones
Mill.
The d e fe nse attorneys
pleaded for a short sentence
and asked that Rosby be
given a second chance. 1t
was brought out in the trial
that he had formerly been
a "choir boy" in his home
town, and that his actions
here were the result of keep
ing o m pany with the
wrong crowd.
The Commemorative At
torney asked that he be
given no less a sentence than
life Imprisonment.

both sides the judge stated

GOOD CHRISTIANS IN

BISHOP FAISON

Bishop S. G. Johnson, head
of the Church of the Lord

Durham might as well be

in it were baptised by him
and that unless the ministers
in those churches preached
the doctrine he breaches, all
of their members were going
to he'll.
Bishop G. l.. Faison, pre-
siding head of the Church
of God in Christ, took ex-
ception to the statement, as
he preached before a session
of his church council, meet
ing at a local church. Bishop
Faison stated that he be-
lieves that "there are some
good people in all churches
and that he did not sanction
the idea that any particular
church had a corner on al
of the righteousness or that
no one could be saved unless
he was baptised by himself
