Boston, March 22-—His appeal for executive clemency having failed, Wil- liam A, Dorr of Stockton, Cal, tonight | awaited at Charlestown state prison fulfiliment of a sentence of death. Dorr’s crime was the murder on April 11, 1912, of George E. Marsh, a wealthy_retired soap manufacturer, of | Lynn. Marsh was trustee of a fund of | $100,000 for Miss Orpha Marsh of Stockton, an aunt of Dorr, who lived at her home. The contention of the | government was that the motive for | killing lay in Dorr’s knowledze that | this fund would g0 to his aunt on the | death of its custodian, and that event- ually it would revert fo him. He camo east early in April 1912. A diary, in- | troduced at the trial, purported to have | been kept by him from the time he arived here to the day that Marsh was killed. It described in detail ho he had trailed the aged mi | best by day. “doing the job™ and to the satisfaction of the writer that it was “all over." i The last entry was dated the day of | the murder. Dorr fled after the killing and was captured a week later al| Stockton. On the’ way west he had | mailed the diary to his aunt. He as- serted in court that it was all written after Marsh’s death, with the idea of placing himseif in a more favorable | Hght with his aunt. The defense ad- | vanced the claim that it indicated an unsound mind. It appeared in evidence that Dorr | invited Marsb .o take an automobile | Tde with him. After they were speed- | ing over the boulevard, adjoining the West Lynn marshes, they quarreled, according to Dorrs _testimony. A struggle followed and Marsh was shot to death. Dorr contended that he ac ed in self-defense. He set up a fur- | ther plea of lack of jurisdiction by | Essex county, in the courts of which | he was tried, maintaining that the shooting took place in Suffolk coun- | ty But the finding of the body in | ‘West Lynn swamps, of Dorr’s cap be- side it, and his revolver in the Saugus river, all within the limits of Essex county, were held sufficient .for over- Tuling the plea. | He may bs elactrocutsd any night this week. In accordance with the law, providing for secre the date has not been announced by the state prison warden. Dorr expressed the wish _ftonight that after the execution his body might be creamated. In a long interview with his spiritual adviser, Rev. Arthur Harriman of Lynn, promised the clergyman that he would be brave to the ond. He wrote two farewall let- ters to his sisters, one of whom lives in Maine and the other In California. FARM PRODUCTS BY PARCEL POST. List of Farmers o Supply Them Will RBe Compiled.
