Motion For New Trial For Herman Casey To Be Argued Wednesday
KINSTON August 25 Attorneys for Herman Casey Lenoir county logger under sentence to die September 11 for the slaying of J W Causey wealthy Norfolk Va lumberman will argue a motion for a new trial before Judge W A Devin here at 9 am tomorrow. Judge Devin yesterday agreed to hear the motion. Clemency has been virtually denied Casey through Tyre C Taylor executive counsel to Governor Gardner that he would not recommend that the death sentence be commuted. Causey was slain and his body burned in his automobile on July 3 1930. Casey was convicted of Causey murder last fall and sentenced to die. His execution was delayed by an appeal to the state supreme court which recently refused to act on his case.
