Not Guilty Verdict for Irvin Eddington in Co-Ed Killing
Irvin Eddington, a feeble minded tramp, was acquitted by a 20 minute jury in El Dorado of killing Magnolia A. and M. College co ed Miss Jackie Ruth Youngblood near here on March 25. The crowd reacted with applause as Judge L. S. Britt denounced sensational press coverage. Eddington, who had signed a confession, claimed he knew it was hooey as he faced reporters. Defense witnesses argued he was an imbecile with a nine year old mind and could be excited into confessing. The trial featured testimony on alibi issues and a key witness failing to identify Eddington as being on the fatal night. He was escorted from the courtroom to avoid the crowd.

Wilkerson Denies Capone Mistreated
Washington reports Jude James H. Wilkerson told a Senate committee that he gave Capone a 15 year sentence for income tax law violations. He said he allowed the guilty plea to be withdrawn after Capone's lawyer argued the court was bound to limit the sentence. He noted disagreement over conditions of the plea and potential sentence reduction. The issue centers on whether the government’s recommendation would be followed. A committee hearing concluded with Wilkerson’s statement aligning with District Attorney Johnson’s testimony. Confirmation of Wilkerson’s qualifications moves forward with a vote expected soon.
