TAYLORSVILLE, N.C.
Judge Frank Armstrong yesterday
sentenced a roving Negro cotton
picker to death for slashing a
white housewife's throat here during a burglary.
The judge set May 31 for the
execution of Ross McAfee, alias
J. C. Adams, 39, of Meridian, Miss.
But he directed McAfee's court-
appointed attorneys to file an appeal
to the State Supreme Court.
An all-male Jury, which con-
tained two Negroes, yesterday
found McAfee guilty of first degree
burglary without recommendation
of mercy, making the death
sentence mandatory. McAfee also
was found guilty of attempted
rape and assault with intent to
kill Mrs. Glenn Waugh, 17, a high
school senior.
The defense offered no evidence
but pleaded for the jury to consider
McAfee's statement that he
had been drinking on the night of
the assault, Jan. 31.
