Kluckhohn Appeals Manslaughter Term

RALEIGH, N.C., Oct. 31--Richard Kluckhohn, convicted for slaying a woman here last May 13, will appeal his 10-year manslaughter sentence before the state supreme court tomorrow.

Kluckhohn is the son of Clyde K. Kluckhohn, professor of Anthropology, and of Florence R. Kluckhohn, lecture on Sociology. A Raleigh court tried and convicted him of involuntary manslaughter last June in the fatal shooting of Miss Bernice Seawell of Arlington, Va.

A bullet hit Miss Seawell in a parking lot across the street from Kluckhohn's hotel room. He admitted having discharged his pistol accidentally while "dry firing," but denied aiming at her.
