The last departments to move into the building probably will be the gov- ernor’s and secretary of state, the commissioner said, in view of the fact that they will be on the first floor, which probably will be the last to be completed. \ Several Are Downtown Other nts located in downtown buildings include the adju- tant general, railroad commission, tax commissioner, game and fish and state hail insurance departments.

Seven others will be formed soon | and the entire national organization will be functioning by January 1, Henry Morgenthau, Jr., governor of the federal farm credit administra- tion, said. Morgenthau came here personally to weave the new threads—the St. Paul bank for cooperatives and the production credit corporation—into the old pattern of farm relief me- diums. The new units will supplement and abet the already established federal land bank and the intermediate credit bank, and will serve Minnesota, North Dakota, Wisconsin and Mich- igan. They will have a total capital | of $12,500,000, of which $7,500,000 will be alloted the production credit cor- poration and the balance, $5,000,000 will be given the bank for coopere- | tives, Will Announce Agent Morgenthau said he probably would announce the general agent for the district for all four federal agencies Thursday night at a dinner here. “The setup,” he explained, “is or- farmer every kind of credit he needs.” Charters for the new units were de- livered Thursday, the capital will be available in a couple of days, and operations in this district will be/ started within 10 deys, Morgenthau said. i Under the new plan, the produc- | tion credit corporation will take over much of the short time accommoda- tion loans that have been made for the last year through the regional agricultural credit corporatioin in Minneapolis and other channels.

Urschel, Oklahoma City oil millfonaire, Before passing sentence Judge Ed- gar 8. Vaught over-ruled motions for @ new trial. The jurors reached a decision ist, night but under instructions from Judge Vaught sealed the verdict.+ The Kellys received the verdict and sentence without changing expression. In the front row of spectators, Paulthe, 15-year-old daughter of the convicted woman, smiled strangely. The accused entered the room un- der guard. They sat at the end of their counsel table, facing the bench. Judge Vaught scanned the verdict casually and handed it to Theo Fil- son, court clerk, to read. Overrules Defense Motion James H. Mathers, defense attorney, immediately filed a motion for new trial. It was overruled. “Have you anything to say before sentence is pronounced?” Judge Vaught asked the prisoners. “No, sir,” Kathryn replied. Kelly shook his head. Judge Vaught then pronounced the sentences and the Kellys were rushed back to their county jail cells. Jewelry, “Fort Worth residence and other property claimed by Mrs. Kelly were ordered listed and held by the government for later transfer to the 15-year-old Pauline, Before court opened, Mrs. Kelly sign- ed a deed giving the $30,000 home and $10,000 in other property to her daughter. The jury foreman, G. H. Verity, said only one ballot was to decide the guilt of each defendant. Deliberations required only one hour. In his charge to the jury, Judge Vaught had said he did not believe Kathryn's story that she was forced anto the crime by her husband's threats, Kelly, repeatedly accused as kid- naper, ransom collector and as the writer of death threats to Urschel during the first trial last. month, of- fered no detense at all.

Kelly, standing with his wife before the court, calmly chewed a wad of “It is the judgment of the court that you and each of you be sen- tenced to in the federal peni- tentiary Peggy ob remainder of your natural lives.” Kelly turned and grunted to his wife, whose face was grim and ex- Pressionless. The maximum sentences were pro- nounced by Judge Vaught 16 days after the capture of the Kellys at Memphis, Tenn., and only three days after they went to trial.
