Va., November 17.—Taylor W. Hott, 35, was sentenced to life imprisonment in the State Peni- tentiary on each of three pleas of | gullty to first-degree murder by Judge | Rodgers in Circuit Court here this morning. He pleaded guilty to indlct- ments three weeks ago for drowning his three children, but sentence was de- um orning he aigned and m ¢ was Tearraigned an rlelflfid gullty to first-degree murder in each case. He had nothing/ to say When sentenced. Fourteen Others Sentenced. With 14 other prisoners, who had either pleaded gullty or confessed to felony crimes, he was removed to the penitentiary today. Hott entered a plea of guilty in open court three weeks ago following grand jury indictment ofhim for slaying his three children, Gertrude, 7; Calvin, 6, and Floyd, 5, whose bodies were discovered in a large pool of wa- ter in one of the abandoned Tlln’y holes near the southern edge of this city on the morning of July 21. The children were not immediately identified when found, but later were shown to be the children of Mr. and Mrs. Hott. Questioned, Hott said at first he had “given” the children to & “Kidwell” family lving west of here, but when visits with police failed to disclose the family Hott confessed to having drowned the children. Said He Was Insane. His only explanation, given in oral and written confessions to police, was that he must have been temporarily insane. Hott did not involve his wife in the killings, although he told police he blamed her indifferent attitude toward him, the children and household duties contributing to the worrles that eventually drove him to the act of desperation. He said his inability to find work had worried him for a week before the crimes were committed. Hott came to Martinsburg from Hampshire County, W. Va., some years ago.
