This week's hearing was the sec-o-4 clemency hearing for the 50-year-old woman whose poison-murders began in 1943 and ended in 1931 while she lived in Boylston. She was transferred to Kilby Prison this summer for a scheduled May 31 execution in the state's electric chair. Her scheduled place of excution ironically, is less than a mile from the Boylston area.

The first to die, Mrs. Earl Dennison, a widow, was also a convicted poison murderess. Mrs.

Dennison was charged with the poison death of a niece, who died in a Wetumpka hospital after being stricken ill. Mrs. Dennison was charged with feeding poison to the child. The child, Shirley Dianne Wel-don, became ill after drinking a soft drink offered her by Mrs. Dennison.

Her sister, Polly Ann, had died ur.der similar circumstances, and Mrs. Weldon was suspected of causing her death also, but the 42-year-old nurse was only tried for the death of Shirley Dianne, 2.

Conser spoke at a dinner held in the Whitley Hotel, which was followed by a dance. Speaking earlier in the day was John C. Hall, president of Cobbs, Allen and Hall Mortgage Co. of Birmingham. Hall, who is president-elect of th' American Mortgage Bankers attacked "price control in the mortgage market" in predicting "another slow year in house building." The "tight money situation" seems unlikely to be eased to any great extent in the near future, he said.

Hall pointed to increasing urban growth, accompanied by a rise in family income, that will' mean a steadily rising need for more new housing units. "This situation is certainly not one to be complacent about," he said. He went on to place much of the blame for lagging home building on "too much government intervention." TODAY'S SCHEDULE Today's schedule includes a gen-, eral session panel, two addresses and the annual business meeting. Cecil Pitman of Fairhope, first vice president, will preside at the 9 a.m. general session.

Graham Says Bayonets Not Integration Answer MIAMI, Oct. 10 Evan-: gelist Billy Graham said today that "the gospel of Christ is the only answer to solving the integration problem.

Bayonets to backs is not the answer." Graham made his statement in response to a Herald interviewer's question at Miami, where he arrived today for a Friday address to the National Presbyterian Men's convention. LOUISVILLE, Oct. 10 JPi The National Guard Assn. today voted down a resolution dealing with federalization of Guard units. It was sponsored by a member of the Georgia delegation.

The resolution asked the organization's Executive Council to study the law under which President Eisenhower federalized the Arkansas Guard in the Little Rock integration case. It also attacked the law on grounds it "destroys the National Guard gives to this and any future President unlimited power and surrenders forever the discretionary power of Congress." Travis. Savannah, former assocla tion president, tried to introduce the resolution from the floor and was reminded it would need a two-thirds majority to pass. The association president, Maj. Gen.

Ellard A. Walsh, called for a vota on suspension of the rules and Georgia was defeated. In a more harmonious mood, the association elected Maj. Gen. William H.

Harrison Jr. adjutant general of Massachusetts, as president for the next three years. Others elected: Maj. Gen. Carl Phinney, commanding general of the Texas 36th Division, vice pres- fourth husband, Claude C.

MAIL ORDERS PROMPTLY FILLED Senricemen'j AcccunJs Invffed TO ii 1 1 Nickerson Trial Held Too Early, Jenkins Believes NASHVILLE, Oct. 10 UPl If Col. John C. Nickerson were being tried today he would be acquitted, Ray Jenkins, a defense lawyer in the Army officer's recent court martial, said tonight. Jenkins termed the defense department's decision to continue work on the intermediate range Jupiter missile a vindication, of his client.

He added, however, there would be no attempt to reopen the Nickerson case. "That's settled now," Jenkins told the Nashville Tennessean in a telephone interview from his Knoxville hoem. "No appeals are pending, the case is terminated." Nickerson, a missile expert at Redstone Arsenal near Huntsville, pleaded guilty in June to 15 minor counts of security violations. The charges stemmed from his action in sending classified papers to a magazine publisher with a criticism of a memorandum limiting Army missile work. "Had the then Secretary of Defense (Charles E.

'Wilson) taken the action that (Neil) McElroy now has taken several months ago, this debacle (the court martial) would not have occurred," Jenkins said. Nickerson was fined $1,500, suspended from rank for one year tioned in Panama.
