Case irith Jury
SULPHUR SPRINGS Sept. 22.-
(P— The fate of Coy Oakley, ta-
raticar preacher on trial for the
“devil" slaying of Bernice Clay-
ton, 3-year-old cripple, rested with
a jury today
The jurors considered the "case
for several hours last night, but
retired without reaching a deci-
sion.
In closing arguments prosecut-
ing attorneys demanded that Oak-
ley be sentenced to death. Defense
counsel pleaded for acquittal or
an insanity verdict.
The child, crippled by an attack
of - Infantile paralysis, died last
December while weird religious rites
at her parents cabin in the lonely
pine woods near Linden. The pur-
pose of the strange ceremony was
to cure her ailment.
It was brought out in testimony
that Paul Oakley, brother of Coy,
believed he had divine power to
heal and could rlleve the ehild
by a ritual known as "laying on
of hands." Coy Oakley and the
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Sherman
Clayton, were in the cabin pray-
ing during the ceremony. Paul
Oakley's idea was to “drive cut
the devil" he believed to be re-
sponsible for Bernice's condition.
A state witness who was at-
tracted to the cabin by wild sing-
ing and praying testified he knock-
ed at the door and Coy Oakley.
who opened it, told him "we don't
want any devils here." The wit-
ness said he looked in the room
and saw Paul Oakley with his
hands on the child's throat. Th
state claimed death was caused by
choking.

The last lingering doubt has been
moved and it's Jose Cronin and
his- mighty men of Washington
against Bill Terry and his hosting
New York Giants in the 1933
'World Series.
The Senators, long regarded as
a "sure thing" to capture the
American League flag, reached the
paint where they can't be beaten
by defeating the last-place St.
defense counsel, contended that-

WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.——
Representative Rayburn of Texas, F
chairman of the House Interstate
Commerce Committee, today said
Hat the financial condition of many
of the bigger railroad Unes had
shown marked improvement in re-
cent weeks.
"Some of the big Unes." Ray-
burn said, "are now meeting their
fixed charges for the first time in
more than a year. They are climb-
ing out of the red into the black.”
Rayburn, who sponsored the
railroad co-ordinator act in the ‘
House, told newspapermen that ,
the Pennsylvania, the Baltimore A
Ohio and a number of other east-t
er trunk lines “are in much bet- !
ter condition than a year ago." t
“Some of them are actually mak-1
ing money," he said "Not only |
have car loadings gradually in-
creased but passenger traffic has
r.hown an upturn. In addition, there
has been an Increase in the num-
ber of railroad employes, thete
now being mere than a million at
at work, whereas a few months \
-ago there were but about 900.060”
Rayburn said the benefits of the
new railroad act could not be ,
iealized at once but that Joseph
Eastman, the Federal coordinator,
was making "substantial progress
in his investigations.”
Eastman is to make recommen-
dations for naw legslation to Con- '
gress in January on the basis of
his investigators of the railroad
systems with a view to bringing
about further economies and im-
provements
Rayburn said a well rounded pro-
gram of legislation would be formu- ■
lated for presentation to Congress
in the January session.
