Joe Bill Denied a New Trial.
THIS MEANS LIFE SENTENCE, AND
NOT A TERN OF YEARS

On Friday the law court handed down
a reseript in the case of lgnazio
Albanese, commonly known as Joe Bill,
who was convicted of murder at the last
October term of court in Oxford County.
The exceptions are overruled, motion
for new trial denied, and judgment for
the state ordered.
Joe Bill, a we'll known Italian fruit
dealer of Rumford Falls, shot his wife,
Rosie Bill, on the 11th day of May, 1911,
fatally wounding her. He then walked
down town and surrendered himself to
the officers. At the October term of
court he was tried, and found guilty of
murder. His counsel, Hon. +. A Morey
of Lewiston, filed exceptions AMI a
motion for new trial, taking exceptions
To both the admission and the exclusion
of some of the evidence.
The alleged infidelity Of Mrs. Bill was
the melting cause of the homicide, and
considerable testimony regarding this
aud Joe Bills knowledge or information
regarding il was not presented in his
defence owing to the ruling of Judge
Hanson at the trial.
Ii was not argued by the defence in
the case that Joe Bill should have been
acquitted. The argument of the defence
was that the deed was done under sud
den provocation, and in the heat Of pas
sion, when the wife laughingly acknowi-
edged her intidelity; that the verdict
should therefore have been manslaugh-
ter, for which the penalty is term not
exceeding twenty years.
The decision OF the law court means
that sentence of life Imprisonment
must be imposed at the October term Of
court.
Since his conviction, Joe Bill has re-
NAMED in the county Jail at South Paris.
Although forty four years of age at the
time Of the killing, and successful In
business, he had had no education, and
was unable to read or write. During his
stay in Jail he has been studying, and
has made considerable progress. he
has always been hopeful of getting only
q term of years, and has planned from
the time of his arrest to study SO as TO
attend TO his own business affairs after
be should complete his term of i'm
DriSonment
