Pretty Mountain School
Teacher Cets 25-Years
For Killing Father
By JOSEPH E. NETTLES
Associated Press Staff Writer
WISE, Va.—(#)—Edith Maxwell,
21 year old comely’ mountain
school teacher, Ilooked today to
further legal maneuvers to re
move the stigma of murderer of
her father placed on her last night
by a jury of her mountaineer
neighbors.
The girl the prosecution charged
with premeditated murder because
she gbjected to the strict code of
conduct set up by her father was
convicted last night of first de
gree murder and sentenced to 25
yvears in the state penitentiary.
The altercation which resulted
in the death of the girl's father,
Trigg Maxwell, blacksmith, cli
maxed a quarrel between the two
when the girl returned home after
midnight, and the father remon
strated with her for keeping late
hours.
Defense counsel prepared a
written motion to set aside the
verdict and grant a new trial
W. W. Dotson, the convicted
girl’'s uncle and defense counsel,
said if the motion for a new trial
is denied he would carry the case
to the supreme court of appeals.
By its verdict the jury discard
ed the self defense contention of
.the young woman’s counsel and
accepted the assertion of the pros
ecutors that Trigg Maxwell was
“prytally murdered” in his cabin
at Pound early on the morning of
July 21.
Fresh in their minds as they re
tired to deliberate were the clos
ing words of commonwealth’s At
torney Fred B. Greear who quoted
the scriptural injunction: *“Honor
they father and thy mother.:’
Greear contended Trigg Maxwell
had “cramped his daughter’s style”
by refusing to let her ‘“run

charges is ‘‘obscene, indecent, im-i

Members of the court ordered
the picture shown that they might
review the appeal of Eureka Pro

from a verdict of a jury in federal
court upholding the government's

“Hestasy” stars Hedy Kiesler,
whom Max Reinhardt described as
the most beautiful actress in Eu

According to Samuel Cummins,
of Bureka Productions, Mandell
‘has spent more than a million
