WESTMINSTER MURDERERS MUST DIE
Decision of Court on Bergstrom Appeal
Affects Ratio and Ebelt.

Three murderers from Westchester County who
are ia the deathhouse at Sing Sing will have die
because Of the decision OF the Court OF Appeals.
just handed down, In the appeal OF Oscar Berg
strom, OF Mount Ksco. affirming his conviction
His lawyer. David II. Hunt. made the appeal the
ground that the Westminster fury law uncon-
stitutiona. because it did not give the prisoner
right 20 challenge each individual grand juryman
The Court OF Appeals does not touch that
question. but holds that the constitution of the
United States provides that each prisoner Is entitled
TO a trial by jury Of twelve men. Mr. Hunt
raised many novel points in his appeal, but the
decision is against him and means that Martin
Ebelt who strangled his bride at Mount Vernon
and threw her body in sewer and Francesca
RATIO. who shot Policeman Maurice Ahearn. will
have TO go TO the electric chair. Each appeal Of
the murderers was based on the constitutionality
of the jury law. Such a grave question raised
that the Westchester Bar Association had special
jury act passed by the last legislature.
