MAY CHANGE PLANS
- Although it was understand that the services would be held at the home of the Ryans, who were said to be close friends of Newell and Meada, a change may be made today in an effort to keep the public away.
Inquirers were Informed at the funeral home yesterday that no def- Inite funeral arrangments had been mmie.
Mra. Adams expressed the hope that the funeral be a private one, Inas- Tonsurameli had paid the debt of lid to society. ' A public funeral. ahe beleived, would attract only . crowd of the curious.
The place of hurial airo was be - ing closely guarded by those In charge of.the funeral and interment. It was recalled that sisters of Mra. Adama, shortly after hia trial and | conviction at Bolivar. had declared that they would not permit hia being buried near hia motherinlaw. Mrs. Sarah Whalln. whom he killed.

WON'T BEEK SMUGGLER
As far as Greene county officers are concerned, the alayer's suicide of- framily times one of the outstanding criminal cases in the history of the county. No efforts will be made. Sheriff Marcell Hendrix said. to de- termine who smuggled the poison ; Into the jail and gave it to Adams.
Attorneys Interested In criminal practice discussed the effect the atate supreme court's ruling uphold- Ing the death sentence might have on future murder cases. Many seemed to believe that the case will be an outstanding one and serve as a pre- cedent for future rulings.
The upholding of the trial court's verdict by the high court placed It on record us holding the state capital punishment law valld and constitu- tional.
