For killing Over Wager
Mccormick Shows Indifference
in Court, but Loses Control
When He Meets Sister

Maintaining the same attitude OF in
difference exhibited last Friday, when
he was found guilty of murder in the
first degree, George p Mccormick,
twenty-one years old, of 23S East
Ninety-frst Street, yesterday was SEN
fenced to death in the electric chair
by Judge Alfred j. Talley in General
Sessions. He lost his composure later
however, when he confronted his sis
ter, Ellen Mccormick, in the sheriff's
Office. Mccormick declared he killed in
self-defense.
Mccormick was convicted of the
murder on Marsh. 81 last of Edward
Shannon, of 209 East 1o4th Street. The
men had made bet on a ball game
and because of non-payment of the
debt i'll feeling existed. Mccormick
said he believed that Shannon was try-
ing to get him, and that while Shannon
was standing at the corner of Third
Avenue and 117th Street he fired four
shots into his body.
On the day of his conviction McCor-
mick smiled when the verdict was an
nounced, and said:
Il can walk to the electric chair as
well as anybody eIse. This don't
Tease me-"
Assistant District Attorney Mario
prosecuted the case. Assemblvman
Maurice Block, counsel for the defense,
made motion for a new trial and the
setting aside of the verdict on four
teen grounds. All were denied by
Judge Talley. Sheriff Knott and his
deputy, Thomas Burke, took charge of
the man and prepared him for his trip
to Sing Sing.
