| Alling Rubber Co., 240 Main Street SENDING TO TO DIE SEEN AS HER DUTY So Says Forewoman of Murder Jury After Verdict Camden, N, J., July 18.—Returning | a verdict which will send a human being to death is unpleasant business, | but a jury should not hesitate to do 8o if it is convinced its decision fits the evidence. This sums up the views of , Mrs. Eleanor Webb, several times a moth- er, who is the {irst woman in this tion's court history to pronounce verdict of guilty of murder in the first degree. She was forewoman of the jury which last night found guiity Manfredo Grasso, sixteen, and Tony Bagdonowitz, twenty-three, Brooklyn youths, who Killed Willlam H. Blshnp, a taxicab driver. “It takes a whole lot of nerve to| gend men to their death,” Mrs. Webb | said at her home in Glendora, N. J., | today. My husband told me it was an honor to be the first woman tq head a murder jury. It may be an honor, but it impressed me more as a very serious matter. It was awful, but we had to do our duty. # YT feel sorry for the mothers of thel two we convicted, but the verdict was | just and my conscience 1is clear. i Bishop's life was just as dear to-his| mother as the lives of the other t\vo‘ men to theirs, There was no excuse for their killing him. | “I didn’t feel nervous in rendering | the verdict, because I felt it was my duty as forewoman. I think I did it just as well as a man could have| done. I paid strict attention to the‘ judge’'s charge. ““We were out only ten minutes, and‘ all except one man, who wanted the penalty to be life imprisonment be- cause one man had escaped and an- | other had turned state’s evidence, had | our minds made up before we left thé | box. We took three ballots. The jurors were splendid men, but it was’ a terrible and harrowing experience. “When we retired to reach a ver- dict I saw they were all a little flus-{ tered and I sald: “Now, let's just sit| down and cool off before we do any- thing.' “Last night I returned here to my husband, my boy, and these little children, and I don’t think I could have faced them as we gathered at | the supper table if our verdict had | been different, and I could not have slept with a clear conscience.” | a NAVY GETS LAST LAUGH.
