By the Associated Press

Wilmington, N.C., July 27—The first session of Sunday court ever held in Wilmington was convened this morning when Judge W.A. Devin pronounced sentence on George Lutterloh, negro, convicted of killing Mrs. David Bryant with an automobile two months ago. Lutterloh was given an indeterminant sentence of from two to four years in the state penitentiary.

The case was given to a jury at 4 o’clock Saturday afternoon, but no agreement was reached until shortly before noon today. No other business was transacted by the court.
