Middlesboro Daily News, Middlesboro, KY
George Lockhart, who jointly with Richard Morgan was indicted in the Whitley 
Circuit Court for the murder of Wiley Smith, a Middlesboro young man, but who 
resided at Corbin at the time he was murdered, was given a life term in the 
penitentiary Saturday morning at Williamsburg, where the court is in session.  
Morgan will be tried at the next session of the court, which will be held at 
Williamsburg.

   Throughout the deliberations, it was learned today, ten of the jury held 
out for the death penalty, because they were convinced that the motive for the 
murder was robbery.

   The murdered man was the son of Noah Smith of Elys, and cousin of Harry, 
Eugene and William Smith of Middlesboro.
