Covington, Jan. 20. Morris Green, lanky, slick-haired Kentuck-ian, stood wordless circuit court late Thursday afternoon while he heard himself sentenced to life imprisonment for the hatchet murder of Miss Lila Jones, Richmond school teacher.

He expressed pleasure over the comparatively small number of bills that have been introduced, as compared to other sessions. He indicated that if a foity-day session can not be obtained it would be gratifying if the legislature could adjourn before March 4 when many Hoosier democrats would like to attend the presidential inauguration of Franklin D. Roosevelt. snort time Deiore tne trial was called. Prosecutor George Brubaker elected, however, to try the case despite this fact.

Miss Jones at the time she was slain was spending the summer vacation from teaching duties at the farm home of her parents, Mr. and C. I. Jones, where Green was employed as a hired man. She died of a hatchet cleft in her skull last Aug.

Green admitted, Montgomery county officers said he had quarreled with Miss Jones, but said he pushed her from a porch, knocking her unconscious. It was after that, because of ifear, according to the information officers said he gave, that he struck her with the hatchet. Green left the farm to summon medical aid and returned with a physician.

DALE GREEN, Mgr. Opposite Postoffice Indianapolis, Jan. 20. Approximately seven hundred township assessors in Indiana would be divorced from the public pay roll if a bill to be introduced soon by Senator Walter S. Chambers of Newcastle becomes a law.

The bill will provide for abolition of the office of township assessor in townships of less than three thou-and population. The act would become effective at the end of the present terms of assessors, and would save, Senator Chambers estimated, approximately $200,000 a year to the taxpayers in the townships involved. Duties now performed by the township assessor would be transferred to the township trustee. A bill passed In the special session of the general essembly last summer took from the township trustee all duties connected with roads, leaving only schools and poor relief to come under his jurisdiction. With little poor relief in townships of less than three thousand population and with consolidated schools, Senator Chambers asserted little work is left for the trustee and he felt the work of assessment forty-five days out of the year could be performed by the trustee at no additional compensation.

The prosecution presented witnesses with a view to proving that Green had slain the young woman imposed. Led back to his cell, Green said he was happy that the death sentence had not been imposed.

In the meantime his mother, Mrs. Dora Green, was praying the court audience in a religionhysteria. rThe parents of the slain girl, Mr. and Mrs. W.

I. Jones, were bitter at the verdict, feeling the jury had slacked its duty in imposing less than the death penalty. They said, however, they considered the state's case ably presented. Green's defense of insanity failed, although an alienist had testified he considered the 22-year-old defendant insane from childhood, afflicted with alternate moods of depression and elation, a type known as manic depressive. The state, countering the insanity defense, presented the report of a sanity commission composed of local doctors, appointed by the court, who considered Green fully aware of uis actions at the time of the slaying and at present.

Hoping to save her son from conviction, Mrs. Green took the stand during the trial as a defense witnc ts and testified she considered her son insane.

Joseph A. Long, once a millionaire produce merchant of Portland, whose recent years have been spent in almost continual litigation, including civil and criminal cases, was sentenced to the federal penitentiary at Leavenworth, for three years and fined $5,000 and costs on charges of violation of and conspiracy to violate the national bankruptcy act by United Spates District Judge Thomas W. Slick here today. Long left this afternoon in the cttstody of Deputy United States Marshal Herman V. Atkins for the prison.

Allen P. Rice of Union City, Long's son-in-law, and Walter R. Hill, a real estate and insurance agent of Union City, who had pleaded guilty to conspiracy with Long, but had turned government witnesses in the trial, were placed on probation to Federal District Probation and Parole Officer Joseph E. Lewis for two years and their sentences were withheld. Miss Esther R.

Brigham, former private secretary of Long and indicted with Rice, Hill and Long for bankruptcy law conspiracy, was freed from the charges last wreek. Long, who was charged by- the government with having concealed many thousands of dollars worth of assets in his bankruptcy proceedings filed here, pleaded guilty last week in the middle of the government's case against him. "Long was the chief actor in this case and no one was benefited by him in the transactions. He admits his guilt and has entered his plea of guilty," said Judge Slick as he commented on the case before passing judgment. Long's lips set in one hard line and his face flushed, making greater the contrast of his snow-white hair, as udge Slick pronounced the penalty.

He sat in his chair, immobile, his hands resting on the chairarms. On the first count of the conspiracy indictment, in which the actual conspiracy to violate the laws was charged. Long was fined $5,000 and costs and sentenced to serve two years. On the second and third counts, which charged substantive offenses. Long was sentenced to serve one year consecutive to the two-year term.

On all four counts of the second indictment against Long, in ivhic1 substantive offenses were charged, Long was sentenced to serve three years, to run concurrently v.ith the first three years, and ordered to pay the costs in the case. Costs in the entire Long case are said to have amounted to approximately $500. "Mr. Long will be entitled to apply to the parole board for parole at the expiration of one year, provided his fine and costs have been paid," Judge Slick stated after passing sentence. "If the board acts favorably, he will be placed on parole for the remaining period of his term, two yeairs.

If Mr. Long sees fit to aid the trustee in the bankruptcy in cleaning up the estate and the bankruptcy matters, the parole board will consider that, but if he stands pat and Esther R. Brigham keeps all of her property, that will be another thing for the parole board to consider." In making his opening comments, Judge Slick said, "I agree with Judge Eichhorn (one of Long's attorneys) when he stated the other day that Mr. Long's offense, while it is a criminal charge, is not so heinous as when a man puts his hand in another's pocekt and robs another. It is hard to see through all this maze of tra Ksactions.

Perhaps it is not entirely clear to the defendant himself. It appears to me from all the mass of evidence that Esther R. Brigham still has property belonging to the estate, and that is why I feel that I am not the one to try the civil case involving Miss Brigham, the trustee in bankruptcy and some of this property. Whether she can be compelled to divulge or turn over this property, I don't know. I believe that Mr.

Long can exert an influence there, but he hasn't done so yet, apparently. I'm not criticizing the government for dismissing the Charges against her in this case, however." 'Miss Brigham was not present in the courtroom when Judge Slick pronounced sentence. Long sat at the defendant's table with one of his attorneys, Judge W. II. Eichhorn, of Bluffton.

On the witness benches sat Rice and Hill. A few minutes after each case had been disposed of, Miss Brigham was seen in her coupe near tpe federal building, sitting motionless, staring straight ahead. Two of the strongest witnesses against Long were Rice and Hill, Vvho had pleaded guilty to the conspiracy charge at their arraignment. Mice, Hill and Louis J. Turckes, for-jjner manager of a number of farms aear Portland owned by Long, testified before Judge Slick and a jury as to the conversion of thousands of dollars worth of property a few weeks before Long filed bankruptcy proceedings here for himself and also for J.

A. Long Company of Portland. Hill told on the witness stand that he accepted deeds to farms to hide assets of the Long company in the bankruptcy proceedings, and also a bill of sale for personal property on the three farms but said that "not one cent of my money went int the transfer." Rice also testified about real estate transfers in which he was involved with Long and also mentioned a fake loan of $10,000 in which no money was actually handled but in which he received deeds to property in Memphis, Tenn. 49c to OQc RUBBER GLOVES IP0" "BUY AMERICAN" LADIES, DONT FORGET TO MAKE YOUR AP-POINTMENT FOR A FREE FACIAL PEPS0DENT ANTISEPTIC 25c size IQc 50c size 30c $1 size 74 75c Mead's Dextri Maltose 0 .1 25c REGULAR 10c SPRING FLOWER SOAP jf STATIONERY C0LD CREAM 1 Per Box Mf 30 MI II 30c la KLEENEX IBS.
