Pomp Scott, Who Killed Virginian Conductor, Hurried to Lynchburg After Sentence
    Roanoke, Va., November 30--Pomp Scott, the confessed murderer of Marcus M. Spence, on the Virginian yards on October 20th last, was today sentenced to serve eighteen years in the penitentiary, by Judge Walter R. Staples, of the corporation court.  There was no demonstration when the verdict was announced, but it was thought best not to have Scott stay in Roanoke longer than was absolutely necessary and he was at once taken in an automobile to Bonsack where he was put aboard a train and taken to the Lynchburg jail.
