B—10 x READ SENTENCED | T0 D N NOOSE Four Corners Man Collapses at Death Penalty in Doliman Slaying. BY the Associated Press. SUTTON, W. Va. April 2—A jury | decreed death for William B. Read | yesterday and Judge Jake Fisher sen= | tenced the 25-year-old Maryland man to be hanged at the State Penitentiary July 9 for the torch-slaying of W.| Earle Dollman, Charleston salesman. ‘The verdict of guilty without recom- mendation for mercy was returned after the jury deliberated an hour. It made the death sentence mandatory. The hanging verdict was the first re- ! turned in Braxton County since about | the time of .the Civil War, attaches said. The death sentence was the first | pronounced by Judge Fisher in his 24 | years on the bench. Dollman, en route from Morgantown | to his Charleston home for last | Thanksgiving, died of a fractured skull. | His charred and almost unrecognizable | body was discovered in his blazing | automobile on the main highway a few miles from Gassaway. Before sentence was passed, Read | again proclaimed his innocence, saying | that two former companions who testi- | fied Read was the actual slayer “did | not tell a straight tale.” Prosecutor Charles Duffield, jr., said | War Joseph Kirby and Lawrence | Gingell will be brought back to Sutton | Monday. Court attaches declined to | comment on whether or not Kirby and Gingell may change their pleas to | guilty in view of their testimony. | After Defense Attorney E. G. Pier- | son’s move for a new trial was over- | ruled, Read faced the court and jury, saying: “I never saw Earle Dollman. They | (Kirby and Gingell) made me the in- stigator so that they could get off | with second-degree murder or with a | lighter sentence.” | Judge Fisher ordered the defendant to stand up. As the jurist passed the death sentence Read's knees buckled, and he dropped back into a chair. State police took charge of Read | and, with Gingell and Kirby, started back to Charleston. Read, a resident of Four Corners, Md., is under life sentence in Kanawha County foy ab- ducting and robbing P. P. Wilson. Gingell and Kirby pleaded guilty to | that count and also to robbing Harold Casto, filling station operator. Sen- tence was deferred, however.
