Fuller Gets Life, I'd Defendant
InPottersonKi||ing Waits Trial
FerreII to Face
Jury in z Weeks in
Phenix City Case

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Mar. II.
With ex-Chief Deputy Sheriff
Albert Fuller sentenced to life in
prison, the State moved swiftly
today to bring another defendant
to trial for the murder of vice
foe A. L. Patterson.
Prosecutor Cecil Deason said
Arch Ferrell, who was prose-
cutting attorney at PheniX City
during the days when Fuller was
chief deputy in the vice-infested
town, probably would be tried
here in about two weeks.
Fuller. was held in Jefferson
County Jail atop the courthouse
where he was tried.
Chief Defense Attorney Rod
erick BeddoW said he would
appeal to the State Supreme
Court and at the same time file
a motion for a new trial.
The 35-year-old, 200-pound
Fuller took the life imprison-
ment verdict calmly, but his at
torney said the veteran law Off
Ger was "dumbfounded" at the
outcome of the 25-day trial.
Wife Shocked
Fuller's pretty blond wife.
Avon, was "heartbroken and in
state of shock" Mr.. Beddow
said. The Fullers have no chill
dren.
More than 40 sheriff's officers
and Birmingham city policemen
guarded the courtroom against
any demonstration when the
jury gave it's verdict % hours and
IL minutes after it had received
the case.
Fuller was the first of three
defendants to be tried for the
Staying of the Democratic
nominee for attorney general
who had sworn to rid Phenix
City of racketeering.
Mr.. Patterson, a former men,
ber of the State Senate, won the
nomination in the Democratic
primary runoff June /. He was
shot to death outside his Phenix
City law office II days later.
Indicted with Fuller and Fer
rell was former attorney general
81 Garrett, the man Mr.. Patter-
son would have succeeded as the
States chief legal officer. Gar
rett now Is a mental patient in
a hospital at Galveston, Tex.
States attorneys contended
that Fuller, Ferrell and Garrett
conspired to kill the campaign
ing racket buster to keep him
from carrying out his cleanup
pledge.
A wholesale vice housekeeping
followed Mr.. Patterson's death
and more than 100 gamblers and
other racketeers were sent to
prison OF fined.
Fuller was convicted of taking
protection money from the op-
orator of a bawdy house near
Phenix City and sentenced to
seven years in prison. That con-
viction was under appeal when
he was brought to trial for
murder.
During the trial, Fuller pro-

Accused Attorney
Gets Court Order for
New Contempt Trial

Federal Judge Charles F. Nc
Laughlin yesterday ordered at
torney Dorsey K. Offut to show
cause March 81 why Mr.. Offutt
should not be held in criminal
contempt of court.
The charges against Mr.. Offutt
stem from his conduct before
Federal Judge Alexander Holtzof
during a trial in the U. S. Dis
trict Court for the District of
Columbia in 1852.
The attorney was representing
a defendant in an abortion case
during which there occurred a
series of verbal clashes between
Judge Holtzoff and himself.
Upset by Supreme Court
The judge found Mr.. Offutt
guilty of contempt on IL counts
and sentenced him to 10 days in
Jail. The U. S. District Court of
Appeals for the District upheld
four of the counts but reduced
the jail sentence to 48 hours.
Later the Supreme Court upset
the contempt conviction and sent
the case back to the District
Court. The high court suggested
that a judge other than Judge
Holtzoff should preside at the
new trial. The case then was
assigned to Judge Mclaughlin.
United States Attorney Leo A.
Rover and two assistants, Oliver
GaSch and William F. Becker,
were assigned to prosecute the
case.
In their application for the
show-cause order, the prosecu-
tors reiterated the four charges
that had been upheld by the ap-
pellate court.
The List of Charges
These charges asserted that
Mr.. Offutt:
l. On numerous occasions
made "insolent and offensive re-
marks" to the court and was
guilty of gross discourtesy."
2. On numerous occasions per-
sisted in repeating questions pre-
viously excluded by the court in
order to evade the courts rulings,
in spit of admonitions by Judge
Holtzoff. 1T was charged many
of the questions obviously were
intended to "besmirch a wit
neSS.")
3. On several occasions asked
witnesses questions that were
highly prejudicial to the witness
and for which there was no
foundation.
4. Constantly tried to create
an episode that might lead the
court to direct mistrial."
When the Supreme Court re-
versed Mr. Offutt's conviction. it
criticized the conduct of Judge
Holtzoff, as we'll as that of Mr..
Offutt.
Mr.. Offutt, in a statement to
reporters, said he was quite
surprised" at the action taken
to find him in contempt "in
view of the rulings of the ap-
pellate court and the Supreme
Court"
The attorney said that if a
trial ensues it will be the first
time he will have an oppor-
tunity to talk in his behalf and
he felt he would be vindicated.

the status of working women has

Mrs. Bolton asserted what the

Motoring In Cuba
The success Of the Key West
Cardenas ferry service has en-
couraged Cuba to make things
more pleasant for Americans
driving their cars into the hooks
and crannies for an intimate
look at the island. Roads are
being improved. although there
is q great deal to do; room
rates are posted, with heavy
fines In store for those who
would fleece visitors, and more
overnight facilities are being
added, although the building
pace apparently Is geared to de-
mand rather than to an antic-
ipated boom.
These observations. plus some
others that prepare the motor
ist for sightseeing adventures
in Cuba. are being passed along
to members of the American
Automobile Association. The
AAA travel newsletter carries
summary of its findings on a
recent survey and tells the
would-be Cuba motor tourist
that there are advantages and
disadvantages to be prepared for.
Motorist Sees More
For instance: 1.-THE man with
his own car has the mobility to
explore the most colorful Sec
tions of the island. the cattle
country, mountains, tobacco
lands and sugar fields, on oc-
casion sharing his path through
small towns with donkeys, BIZ
cycles, oxcarts and vaqueros on
horseback, gaining a perspective
the visitor to just Havana misses.
Cubans are hospitable and, in the
countryside where Americans ATE
something of a novelty. they
welcome visitors with curiosity
and friendliness. Costs of meals

the main Central Highway.
would at best be considered Sec
ondary roads in the United
States. In some sections they
are rough and pocked with chuck
holes. The highways are insult
ficiently signposted and at times
hard to follow.
Cuban motorists represent
something Of a challenge, too.
They are courteous, but are &C.
casionally unpredictable. They
use their horns freely, particu-
larry as means Of determining
right-of-way at the many blind
intersections which have neither
stop lights nor stop signs. In
booming Havana, where auto
mobile registration has skyrock-
eted. an automobile Is q doubt
full asset. And in country towns,
though knowledge Of Spanish Is
not essential. 1t is highly desir-
able"
AS to present Key West
Cardenas ferry service on the
Ism, the crossing may range
from smooth to rough, depending
on the wind across the Gulf
Stream current. Though some
crossings may be uneventful and
pleasant, on others the boat is
subject to considerable rool and
pitch, resulting in discomfort
and seasickness for some passen-
gers"
The Caribbean Ferry Service
craft now being operated has O
capacity for about 40 cars. The
company has advised the AAA,
however, that 1t is arranging to
place into service within o
matter Of months" a large boat
with q 250-car capacity.
