ELDER GARFIELD
GUILTY OF MURDER
Brothers Robbed Store of Ben
Johnston — Younger Con-
victed of Manslaughter.
A ciespatcih from Woodstock says: --
Norman Garfield was on Thursday
night found guilty of the charge of
having murdered Ben Johnston; while
robbing his store on the night of
January 20th,
The jury retired at 6.10 and at 8.40
returned to the courtroom. Aft
they had been called, Peter McDonald
clerk of the court, rose and asked tie
jury if they had agreed on a verdict,
"We have," was the response and Wil-
fred Cochburn, foreman of the jury,
arose and in a clear voice read the
finding as follows: "The members of
the jury are unanimous in finding the
prisoner guilty' on the charge of mur-
der." The prisoner seemed iniafFect-
ed. In fact he seemed less distressed
than when he 'took the witness stand
in the afternoon.
It was with much difficulty that
the courtroom and corridors were
cleared in order to permit of the re-
moval of the prisoner back to the
jail. This is the first time in thirty
years that a murder trial here has re-
sulted in a verdict of %guilty. The
last case was thirty years ago wheat
Reginald Bireball was found guilty
and afterwards hanged in the jail yardfor the murder of the young English-
man; Tied Benwell. •
Many' dramatic incidents marked
the day's proceedings. First, Denton
Garfield, on Wednesday found guilty
of manslaughter by a jury, was
brought into court to testify against
his brother; then again at the noon-
honr recess, the wife of Norman Gar-
field rushed from her place in the
aadienee and embraced her husband
who was just about to be Ied away to
the jail. The final dramatic feature
was when, at the conclusion of the
Crown's case, Montalieu Nesbitt put
the prisoner in the box. Norman told
a remarkable story and although he
was very nervous at the first he soon
settled down and narrate:I the events
of the fateful night when Ben John-
ston was killed, ':ii a cool and collect-
ed manner. Up to this point there
had been very little evidence that was
not heard the day before in the case
against 'Denton. The latter himselfon the stand told practically the same
story as he did in the confession. He
was brought into court shortly after
Norman and placed in the dock be-
side his brother. It was the first meet-
er Iing of the brothers for some days.
Norman looked his brother straight in
the face with a slight smile or: his
face, while the younger brother took
his seat with hardly a glance towards
the brother against whom be had
turned King's evidence to save him-
self.
Norman Jerome Garfield, aged
25, will be hanged in Woodstock
Jail on June 2 for the murder on
January 20 of Benjamin Johnston, a
local confectioner. He was sentenced
to death here Friday afternoon by Mr.
Justice Kelly. As he heard the words
that sealed his doom he sighed slight-
ly, while his jaw tightened just a lit -

There was no guard around, and no

on the extraordinary difficulty on the

He explained that an overwhelming
majority among the German experts
was impossible of attainment for any
proposals; hence, the German counter-
proposals were made from political
motives, on his own personal responsi-
bility. After repeating the arguments
employed before the London confer-
ence, Dr. Simons declared the idea
that because the .allies had torn up
