GEORGE VEZ
ELECTROCUTED

and one night he lured her from the
place wher she was employed and walk
ed with her to st. Mary's Cemetery
where he shot her three times. He left
her body there and went home. The
next day he went to the police station
and informed the authorities of the
crime He was first thought to be crazy
but after an investigation and the find
ing of the woman's body, the truth OF
his story was realized.
He was psemptly indicted and was
defended by Senator George Silzer, of
Middlesex County. After convietionhis
case was carried to 49, ~Canrt of Er-
rors and Appeals and decided agaiH At
him without deliberation, which is very
unusual. His lawyer would have ia
ken the matter to the Court of Par
dons, but he said he was willing to die
and made a full confession Of the
crime.
His trial, conviction and sentence to
death was almost as speedy as the ex-
ecution. 1t was just three hours from
the time court opened until the jury
returned with a verdict Of guilty of
murder in the first degree, which meant
death for him.
Confessed to Other Grimes.
After his sentence to the chair and
while he was in the Middlesex County
Jail, he confessed to having killed Jos
eph Ivan, at the boarding house Of Pau
Homyak, Genessee street, Toledo, Ohio,
and making his escape He also confess
ed to having attempted to kill his wife
some time before he accomplished his
act. He was under suspicion of having
assaulted and killed g girl at Franklin
Furnace, but there was not enough evil
dence to convict him
After the sentence Of the law was
carried into effect last night, the body
was taken to the operating room, where
the post mortem took place. Following
this it was placed in the prison morgue
until this morning when it will be inter
red in the prison cemetery.
