Tuesday by the jury in Judge Walter M. French's court, | where Ward Daniels, C. A. Brown] and Louis Madsen were tried for the| killing of Patrolman Volney L. Ste Yens on Magnolia Bluff January 14. Within ene hour and 35 minutes the jury reached its decision, an-| nouncing at 5:20 p. m. that ft was ready to report It was delayed, | however, unti! Judge French return ei to the courtroom nearly three hours later DEFENDANTS — OwN SOLE WITN Only the three ‘aed nda them. | selves testified for the defense, each | insisting that altho he was present at the shooting he had nothing to do with the murder. The court instructed the jury that under the law where, two or more persons are engaged in the crime of grand larceny and of them kills & person, all are guilty of murder in| the first degree regardiess of their | participation or lack of participation | in the killing. | The three boys had stolen an auto-| mete the night before the killing atid were in the machine when Ste vens wag murdered and Creighton Dodge, their compan mortally | wounded in a pistol duel with Ste vens. Closing arguments by counsel were marked by impassioned pleas both| for the defense and for the prosecu-| tion, during which Deputy Prosecutor John D. Carmody begged the jury not to brjns in a verdict to hang Mad } sen, because he was “the boob of the bunch.” \ JONES URGES JURY TO STOP CRIME WAVE Chief Deputy Prosecutor E. 1 + Jones, in his closing argument, urged the jury to use its power view to stopping the wave of crime at the present time. % He was followed by Attorney Lee Johnston who, in behalf of Daniels, declared his client should have been charged by the prosecution some offense less than murder. Cart E. Croson, attorney for Mad- pen, pleaded appealingly with the | jury to save Madsen’s life, declaring | the boy had no criminal instincts, and in this particular case he hadn't teen “charged right.” John F. Dore, speaking for Brown and for all the defendants, made a @tirring address against capital pun- Ishment under any circumstances, and scathingly arraigned the whole of society for its belief in war and its recent Indulgence in it “TRAINING YOUTHS TO KILL MEANS DISASTER” ~ “You can’t train youths to kill unm der the guise of patriotiam or any) other guive and expect any other re- guilt but disaster,” he said. “When bea the mountain “Fhou shalt not Kil,’ he made no exceptions to the rule.” added that the boys were the unfortunate product of a mentally | twisted world ' John D. Carmody, for the state, in biting sarcasm, declared that to be on trial for a cold-blooded murder was Indeed unfortunate. He pictured | the murdéred patrolman, who stood squarely {gr the protection of life and prope! with no thought of his/ own life, and closed with the state. vens is asking you todo your duty to day 2 feartessty as he did his.” | SAFE IS ‘ROBBED; | ANOTHER HOLDS Cracksmen gained entrance one safe early Wednesday, ork on gnother was f cording to reports made to p The safe of the D.
