Oglethorpe, Ga., May 12.—Arnold
Allen was convicted at Oglethorpe
by a Macon county superior court
jury of the murder of his 78-year-old
mother, Mrs. Catherine Allen, who
died March 30 after a severe beat
ing.
The jury did not recommend mercy,
making the death penalty mandatory.
The state, represented- by Solicitor
General E. L. Forrester, based its
case on the evidence of wounds from
which Mrs. Allen died and on the
testimony of Sheriff W. T. Jolly.
The sheriff testified that Allen at
the time of his arrest said he had
"whipped” his mother because she
would not cook dinner for him.
The state also introduced a state
ment made -by Mrs. Allen just before
her death, saying her son bent her
because he wanted to get a small
amount of money she had.
Allen, in an unsworn statement to
the jury, said he did not remember
what had happened and declared that,
if he did beat his mother, it must
have been -because he was under the
influence of liiquor.
iMrs. Allen was a life-long resident
of Oglethorpe and her son lived with
her.
Solicitor General Forrester said
Allen’s attorneys were expected to
file a motion for a new trial as soon
as sentence is pronounced-.
