Hedrick is Sentenced to State Penitentiary. . . Must Serve from 25 to 30 Years for Slaying of John Kindley of Thomasville

Lexington, May 8 (AP)—Larthy Hendrick of Thomasville was sentenced today to serve from 25 to 30 years in state’s prison for the murder of John Kindley at Thomasville last March.

Judge T.B. Finley pronounced sentence after the jury had returned a verdict of second degree murder. The case went to the jury at 3 p.m. yesterday.

Hendrick, who served in the army during the war, is about 30 years of age. Kindley was 56.

The encounter in which the slaying occurred was said to have resulted from a quarrel between Kindley’s son and Hendrick.
