Asheville, Aug. 19—Mrs. C. R. Rogers was found guilty of manslaughter in Buncombe Superior Court today in connection with the death of Mrs. P. Abbey, who was killed by a car driven by the defendant last springs. Judge A. M. Stack of Monroe will pass sentence upon Mrs. Rogers Saturday morning, it was announced just before court adjourned tonight.
A great deal of interest in this section has grown out of connection with Mrs. Rogers’ trial because of her prominence and the fact that she was charged with the death of another prominent woman in a traffic accident.
The jury presenting the verdict recommended jury.
The verdict was received without emotion by Mrs. Rogers and the court crowd.
