Two Sentenced To State Penitentiary Saturday Morning

White Man and Negro Girl Given Sentences By Judge Moss

Sentences were passed on those convicted in district court here last week by
Judge Cas Moss at a session of court held Saturday morning after a week's recess.

Tom Sandage, convicted of manslaughter for the death of James H. Hatcher at
Sikes early in January, was sentenced by Judge Moss to not less than six nor
more than 20 years in the state penitentiary.

Angilie Smith, negro girl, convicted of manslaughter for the death of Lauralee
Stewart, another negro woman, was given not less than five nor more than
fifteen years in the state penitentiary. Angilie Smith was charged with
murder, but the jury returned a verdict of manslaughter.

Both prisoners were taken to the penitentiary by deputies of the sheriff's
office Sunday.
