Sept Number 10 Local Guadalcanal Hero Takes Spotlight At Lions Club Zone Meeting ADMITS GUILT Edward LeRoy Ritchie pleaded guilty Monday to the hammer slaying of Mrs Agnes Abigail Williams, changing his plea from pot generally guilty" moments after he went on trial for his life in Fourth district court in Vernal. Ritchie admitted guilt on condition that the court determine the degree of his crime. This makes it possible for sentence to be imposed for either first or second degree murder or voluntary or involuntary manslaughter. Ihe slayer's admission of guilt brought an abrupt end to what court attaches expected would be at least a week-lon- g trial. Ritchie went- on trial in the same court in which his accused accomplice, James Joseph Roedl, was found quilty of first degree murder last Saturday. Ritchie and Roedl will be sentenced September 27. It is considered practically a certainty that Roedl will be given the death penalty, since the jury which convicted him made no recommendation for leniency. Ritchie and Roedl were accused of beating Mrs Williams to death with a hammer on October 12, 1942, near Fort Duchesne. Per Year In Advance ' Major John II.

But in 1942 the average American consumed 22 lbs. of chicken and It appears that we will consume 29 lbs. this year.
