Farmer Charged With 2 Killings For Insurance
In Valdosta Georgia 47 year old farmer Catherine Royals faces death row after being charged with murdering his four year old grandson and two year old granddaughter to collect a double indemnity insurance policy. A key witness Sam Phillips testified Royals admitted the killings saying I killed those younguns. The bodies of the children were found in Phillips burned car in September 1950 near a remote pond while Royals claimed the deaths resulted from a car fire during a hunting trip. Royals had been sentenced to the electric chair but won a new trial when a state Supreme Court ruling said a juror had access to a Phillips statement during deliberations. Phillips testified Royals later warned him not to reveal information. The prosecution says both farmers sought to collect insurance on the children.

The Supreme Court ruled five to two that Peter Alfons Binderyck, a German-born man living in Elmhurst New York, had his U.S. citizenship improperly canceled after he lied about willing to bear arms.
