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. 3 Mason County Timber Parcels Sold By State • Three Mason County parcels were included in the largest sale of state-owned timber during the past 12 months on June 26 and 27 when the State Department of Natural Resources sold more than 136 million board feet.
