Death penalty likely for South Carolina boy in Charlotte murder
Charles Trull of Charlotte was found guilty of murdering Sidney Swain, an elderly Charlotte merchant, with evidence including changed clothes and blood-stained garments. The Supreme Court denied his appeal for a new trial, and he faces the electric chair unless Governor Craig commutes the sentence. The case centered on circumstantial proof and a verdict handed down in Mecklenburg County. A separate financial remark by Maria about plans with Peoples Building and Loan appears in the same column.
