| JURY TO BEGIN WEIGHING FATE OF MAN TODAY A Superior Court jury is expected to begin weighing the fate of Robert Sewell, 28, Negro, accused if the murder of John H. Latham this morning. The case will go to the jury of eight women and four men after Superior Judge William A. Glen has given the jurors their final instructions. Taking of testimony was completed at the trial yesterday morning, and attorneys spent the afternoon court session making their final arguments. Sewell is accused of mudering his former employer on December 20, 1945, while attempting to rob Latham at his tire shop and salvage yard. He signed a confession early this year, but tried to nullify the confession at the trial by testifying he confessed only after being severly beaten by a police officer. The prosecution presented evidence to show he had not been mistreated or intimidated. ************** HOME INDEX LATHAM INDEX PETERSON INDEX SCOTT'S INDEX LACI'S INDEX |
