He showed no other sign of emotion. Declaration of Ferrells guilt brought silver-thatched, fiery- eyed Attorney Fields to his feet with a demand for a poll of the jurors.

Individually they repeated their finding and the penalty and a few moments later Ferrell was hustled from the courtroom by Sheriff Wynd and Deputy George Young. Taken to the Wyoming County Jail, Ferrell will return to court to hear Judge Farr sentence him at an unannounced date. Mrs. Fred Ferrell, the prisoners mother, broke into tears as the verdict was recited and she moved over to whisper a few words to Fields. The eyes of his father and brothers were wet, but there was no outcry from any of them, STARTLING DEVELOPMENTS The startling developments in the case against Mrs.

Randall came at 11 oclock after a recess during which her attorney, Thomas Lewis, Wilkes-Barre, said, I believe our trial will go faster than this one. It will end by Saturday, anyway. She was scheduled to be tried first on the murder charge. District Attorney Trembath, opening the case, Meted the three indictments against the pretty, 38-year-old mother, then moved that the compounding count be not prosecuted. The nolle prosse petition, Trem- bath said, was based on the fact that while the state had evidence that Mrs.

Randall had agreed to I accept a consideration for conceal- ing her knowledge of the alleged crime, the evidence pointed to the fact that the consideration had been passed in Luzerne County, and under the law, jurisdiction in such a felony does not follow into the county where the principal i crime had been committed. His statement brought an Immediate response from Attorney Lewis, We deny, he asserted, that the state could prove the crime was committed in any county. There was no objection to the nolle prosse action. Trembath again rose and requested a nolle prosse ruling, this on the murder charge, be-, cause the state did not have enough evidence to present to jury at this time." The evidence available now would have been that Mrs. Randall was implicated as an accessory before the fact of her, husbands murder, a crime equivalent under the law to mur der' itself, and would not have been sufficient to sustain a conviction had it been returned by a jury, the prosecutor explained.

Lewis demanded an immediate trial, saying: I now wish to oppose the entering of a nolle prosse in this case. Under the law of the land, my client ha the right to a speedy trial. We ask a trial on the murder charge and a verdict of not guilty. Lewis, in seeking trial of Mrs Randall on the murder charge, offered to accept Sergeant Davis testimony in evidence, to accept photographic exhibits presented at Ferrells trial, and to cocper-: ate in every possible way which does not endanger the rights of my client. Trembath refused to consent to the trial under any conditions.

FISHING EXPEDITION? He accused Trembath of going on a fishing expedition and said that if there was not sufficient evidence to gain a conviction, Mrs Randall had been unlawfully deprived of her liberty at the time of hr arrest Continuance of fhe accessory charge was sought by the district attorney because his chief investigator, Sgt. Morgan Davis, State Police, ie hospitalized with and because the court record is needed to speed thetriaL he said. Uhtil sentence is passed on Fer- rell, the court record cannot be admitted as evidence to prove in fact that a murder had been com-mitteed and that Kenneth Ferrell was the murderer, Trembath stated.
