Forsythe Trial Nears Verdict In Lima Slaying Case
In Lima Ohio the Forsythe murder trial for slaying Charles Conner on his 87th birthday continues. The defense and prosecution present final arguments as witnesses including ballistics expert Marting discuss whether a .45 caliber shot could propel a body from the chair. A juror sequestration plan keeps the panel away from court records while testimony on blood type and a 1950 Leavenworth test is noted in the record.

Sharp Dip Seen In Cotton Crop
The Agriculture Department estimates this year’s government controlled cotton crop at 11,010,000 bales of 500 pounds gross weight. This is 778,000 bales below the November estimate and far under last year’s 13,310,000 bales and the 10 year average of 13,669,000. The drop stems from reduced plantings under the soil bank and adverse fall weather. The figure comes as growers vote on continuing the control program next year, requiring two thirds approval.
