Jury Asks Life Term

A calm, almost expression

He said the defendant did

Expression Unchanged

He never registered a notice.
able change of expression, even
when he took the stand for
almost an hour to give his
account of the shootings.
He recounted, with few in
terruptions for question by at
torneys, his version of the
events leading to the deaths
one year ago yesterday of Mrs.
Thelma M. Brady, So, and her
son Robert w. Truitt, "a, Of
Baltimore.
Gentlemen of the jury"
Arnold said in a clear voice
at the beginning of his some
what incoherent testimony, II
know that it was a terrible sin
that I made"
Roy D. Horton, 81, who lived
with Arnold and Robert L,
Mattingly in the apartment at
los North Pitt street where the
shootings occurred, gave this
account:
He. Mrs. Brady and Mr..
Truitt had come into the
apartment after a trip from
Baltimore. Arnold already was
there. Mr.. Horton went to bed
but later heard an argument
IN the next room between
Arnold and the two victims who
were trying to throw him out
Arnold then went into the
bedroom, got a .30-.30 rifle
loaded it and returned. He
shot Mrs. Brady and then hei
son, who fell across her body

at ArnoldS feet. Each was
shot once in the abdomen.
Arnold then turned the rifle
on Mr.. Horton who pleaded
for his life. He finally re-
linquished the weapon and left
the apartment after asking Mr..
Horton for some change.
Declared Sane
Two psychiatrists testified
that Arnold was feeble minded
and had a borderline, much
below normal intelligence. But
they said he was sane and
knew right from wrong.
DR.. Elmer F. Lowry, jr.. di-
rector Of the Alexandria Mem
tai Hygiene Clinic, said. "Ar-
mold characteristically handles
situations in a poorly con-
trolled, impulsive. explosive
manner with hostile, agrees
sive impulses. He sees external
situations as threatening to
him."
He testified that Arnold be-
lieved that he was being threat
ened by the victims and re-
sponded accordingly.
DR.. Joseph r. Blalock, super
intendent of Southwestern
State Mental Hospital in Mar
ion said Arnold was emotion
ally unstable and had an un-
comfortable temper.
Arnold, who admitted loading
the rife and shooting the two
victims, claimed Mrs. Brady ad-
vanced toward him with two
butcher knives and that he had
to shoot her.
Il shot those people. I had
only one window to get out OF
and it was three stories high,
Arnold said. Gentlemen Of the
jury, ! know it was wrong to
shoot those people, but I had ne
chance"
Assistant Commemorative At
torney William L. Cowhig, who
with Commonwealth's Attorney
Earl F. Wagner prosecuted the
case. said in. his closing argu-
ment to the all-male jury that
although Arnold is mentally
sick he Is not insane.
His is a social insanity"
1Mr. Cowhig contended. HE
can't get along with anybody
because of his temper"
The jury deliberated one and
one-fourth hours before re-
turning the guilty verdict and
recommending a life sentence
