IURY FINDS FARRIS GUIITY UF MURDER

_-i

Is Condemned To Be

Hanged On June 10th. Defense Counsel Silent.

(Canadian Press)

KENTVILLE, N. B., April 28.-

Robie Farris will be hanged on June 10 for the murder of Mrs. Jessie Ma- har, 32-year-old mother of four children, who was stabbed to death in her Waterville home on January 25. A former hospital guard, Farris was found with his throat cut in the same room as his victim. After several weeks in hospital, he recov- ered, to face a Supreme Court Jury.

Late today the jury found him

guilty, at the end of a two-day trial, and Mr. Justice R. H. Graham pro- nounced the deathsentence 16 min- utes after the verdict was given. The verdict, announced 'I7 minu-

tes after the jury retired, carried with it a recommendation for mercy. Farris, 35 years of age, showing evidence of the _mental strain he had undergone since his imprison- ment, had nothing to say in his own behalf before the sentence was pes- sed. Hia counsel, G. W. Lyons, Ma- yor of Kentviile, offered no state- ment. Mayor Lyons’ address to the jury had centred about the conten-

cominltted crimes of which they
