Thompson Is To Hang.

Death is the penalty ordered to be paid
by Guy Vernon Thompson. of Germantown
convicted last Saturday in the Circuit Court
here Of triple murder last November.
Murder in the first degree, with recon-
mendation of capital punishment. was
the verdict Of the jury returned against
Thompson, who was charged with dyna-
hitting the home Of James Bolton, near
Germantown, killing Bolton and two little
children Of Mrs. Hattie Shipley, his house,
keeper. Mrs. Shipley was injured by the
explosion.
On the first ballot the jury voted unani-
mously in favor of murder in the first
degree, but one juror baked at the recon-
mendation of capital punishment 1t was
two hours and ten minutes before he re-
ceded from his position and voted with the
other jurors for the recommendation.
Thompson heard Charles E. Benson, FORE
man of the jury. announce his fate with
the same sullen stolcism that he main
tanned throughout the trial. Even when
Judge Urner sentenced him to be hanged
he did not change his expression of ap-
parent unconcern.
Immediately after being sentenced to
death, Thompson was taken in an automo-
bile to Baltimore by Sheriff Nicholson and
Deputy Sheriff Stanley Gingell, who ar
rested the prisoner on the morning of the
crime. The condemned man will await
the day of his execution in the Baltimore
city jail, which will be fixed by the Gov
ernor.
In passing sentence Judge Urner char
acterized the crime as one of the most
atrocious in the history Of Maryland and
commended the jury for its verdict. When
he asked Thompson II he had any reason
to assign why the sentence of death should
not be passed he replied simply. mo-"
If Thompson is executed it will be the
first hanging in this county for more than
twenty years. The last to meet death
upon the eallows were two negroes named
Taylor and Brown, who were convicted of
numbering Jewish merchant at Slidell.
Thompson took the stand Saturday morn
ing and declared that the evidence Of his
wife, her sister and others was fabric of
lies. His wife said Friday that he was out
on the night of the explosion; that he
brought home box which he said con-
tanned dynamite on his return from his
first absence; that he left the house again
and was absent at time of the explosion
that he had made sundry threats against
James Bolton. Mrs Dora Mullican, Mrs
Thompson's sister, told of Thompson's de-
claring vengeance against Bolton. while
Thompson was in the hospital at Sandy
Spring recovering from bullet wound in
fiicted by Bolton.
Everything my wife said on the stand
was lie" he declared. Il never threat
ened Bolton. didn't like him. it's true.
won't even say I'm sorry he's dead. |
amt. But didn't kill him."
Concerning statements made to Detec-
tive Peter B. Bradley, of Baltimore, who
questioned Thompson after the crime.
Thompson declared that he had lied to
them because they were lying to him.

fired. the bullet striking Mrs. Harris. who
threw herself between the two men just
as the trigger was pulled. DR.. Mannar.
who performed the autopsy. explained that

sonal bonds. Each of the others was re-
qured to furnish bond Of $1,000, which
