Court To Name Lawyer
For hdicjent's Appeal
• Superior Court Judge Hewitt
Henry ruled in Mason County
Superior Court Friday morning
that Robert Booth, convicted here
of first degree murder three
years ago, was indigent, and
stated he would appoint an at-
torney to represent Booth in an
appeal. The appointment, Judge
Henry said, will be coming in
a few days.
Booth was returned to Mason
County Jail from the State Peni-
tentiary for the hearing.
The hearing came as a result
of a ruling by the State Supreme
Court that there was some ques-
tion as to whether or not Booth
was fully advised of his right as
an indigent to an appeal, and,
that he should be returned here
for a hearing on whether or not
he was indigent, and if he was
so found that he be granted his
right to an appeal.
The court action Friday deter-
mined that he is indigent anti
moved toward providing him with
his right to an appeal of the
conviction.
Booth was convicted of the
fatal shooting of his ex-wife,
Novella, with a .22 caliber rifle
in the apartment the couple oc-
cupied Sept. 24, 1963.
The conviction came after a
five-day trial before a jury in
January, 1964.
Booth has been in the State
Penitentiary since being sen-
tenced to life imprisonment by
the Superior Court here. His ap-
peal which brought him back for
the hearing Friday is the fourth
he has attempted since being
sentenced.
