TELLS MOTHER
HFSSORRY TO
SENTENCE SON
Judge Ashford Sends William
Pieper to Prison for Life
Penalty for Wife Murder

1T is the sentence Of the court that
you spend the rest Of your natural
life IN Oahu prl33.
William Pieper, convicted wife
murderer, stood erect in circuit court
this morning as Judge Ashford pro-
nounced the foregoing sentence. From
q corner of the court room came a
low moan. Pieper's aged mother. a
little woman in black, sat with her
face buried in her handkerchief.
One night several weeks ago Pieper
tried to induce his Hawaiian wife,
Susie, to leave the house of some
friends and return home. II is al.
legged the woman refused to do this,
whereupon Pieper fired two shots at
her, one of which took effect. Pieper
then shot am wounded himself. The
woman died, The man, when he re-
covered, was indicted by the territori-
al grand jury ON charge of first de-
gree murder. He pleaded not guilty.
Later, Pieper withdrew the plea and
entered a plea of guilty Of murder in
the second degree. : ~
Attorney George Davis spoke for
more than half an hour this morning
on behalf Of the defendant He stated
that Pieper had always been consid-
cred by the members Of his family as
q mental delinquent" Pieperts IA.
Their, said Davis, committed suicide
about two years ago. He alleged that
both Pieper and his wife We're drunk
on the night of the shooting: Attor-
ney Davis concluded by stating that he
thought sentence of 20 years would
be sufficient punishment ~ ; ~ -
The prosecution denied that either
Pieper or his wife were drunk at the
time Of the murder. City and County
Attorney A. M. Brown stated that, ac-
cordihg to the police the shot which
killed the woman was fired SO close to
her that her dress caught FIRE. The
maximum, or life sentence, was rec.
commended. IS s sss r. T.. - : =
Judge Ashford stated that. in the.
opinion OF. the court, it would be bet
ter to send q mental delinquent, con-
yicted of murder, to Jail for life than
to impose sentence Of 20 years and
then run the risk Of having the man
come out of jail and commit another
crime after having had q, few drinks.
The life sentence was pronounced.
Tears coursed down Pieper's cheeks
as he walked back to the bench. As
the aeed .,snther waiisad from the
court room she patted her son affec-
tionately on the back. -. &
After being sentenced, and while
waiting for the patrol wagon, Pfeper
for several minutes with his
mother and with other relatives who
had been inscoHft. Circuit Judge ASH
ford came down the hall and approach
ed the group. He walked up 70 the
mother.
SO you are the poor old mother of
this man, he said. well, I'm very,
very sorry Z

Capt. Flagg, 81 years. A doting
mother and a loving sister died
several years ago, and are at
rest in Evergreen cemetery. The
death of George to the aged
