Edward j. Macdonald, on trial before
Justice Barnard in Criminal Court No.
for the alleged killing of his wife, Ger
trude Macdonald. in the Colorado build
ing last May. may escape the gallows
even If convicted of first-degree murder
Justice Barnard today ruled that the jury
to be sworn in the case has the right
under the law to qualify it's verdict by
adding the words without capital pun
ishment''
The court holds that the provision of
the code providing the death penalty as
the only punishment for first-degree muir
der is superseded by the recently enacted
penal code. and that death or life impris-
onment, at the option of the jury. is the
penalty in this District for premeditated
murder.
Examination of Talesmen.
Nearly the entire session of the court
was consumed by the examination of
talesmen. The opening statement for the
prosecution will be made by Assistant
United States Attorney Proctor.
The rumors of the removing of the
mystery which has shrouded the person.
ality of the accused since his arrest
served to crowd the courtroom with in
terested spectators. who remained
throughout the tedious examination of
the prospective jurors. 1t is rumored that
the life OF the accused in New York prior
to his marriage to the woman he is
charged with killing would be laid bare
by witnesses from the metropolis.
After Justice Barnard had announced
his ruling ATTORNEY D. w. Baker. for
the defense, asked the jurors already
az n mi cd hoy had toe, i,,-
dice against life Imprisonment as pun
ishment for murder in the first degree
All those examined responded they would
approach with unbiased mind the con-
hicted If they should find the defendant
guilty. They had no preference for death
as proper punishment over life impris-
onment.
Justices Divided in Views.
Three justices of the District Supreme
Court have considered the question of the
right of jury in case Of first-degree
murder to qualify it's verdict Justice
Wright, who first decided the matter,
held the code to be controlling. and that
death on the gallows was the sole pun
ishment for first-degrec murder in this
Jurisdiction. When Justice Anderson was
called on to decide the matter he held a
directly opposite opinion, declaring that
the new penal code applies to this Dis
trict. and that the jury may qualify the
verdict by adding the words without
capital punishment"
Justice Barnard in making the ruling
today which comedies with Justice An
dersors opinion expressed regret that
the court was divided on the question
and that he could not decide with both
his colleagues.
United States Attorney Wilson and
Assistant United States Attorney Proctor
