TOMS RIVER, N. J., June IA
woman was sentenced to death to-
day when she was found guilty of a
charge of numbering her husband
and her husbands friend.
After a jury had deliberateo
throughout the night, it returned a
verdict of guilty against Mrs. Hattie
Evans and Private Lester Under
down of the marine corps attached
to the Lakehurst station. They were
charged with killing Robert Evans
and Albert duffy of Brooklyn.
The death sentence was an
nounced when the jury failed tc
recommend mercy.
The couple will be executed in the
electric chair in the state prison at
Trenton. No date for the execution
has been set.
Defense counsel said today they
would confer with Mrs. Evans and
Underdown before deciding whether
to appeal.
AS the jury filed in Underdown
handcuffed to a court officer, was
brought in with Mrs. Evans, who
was not handcuffed. Underdown
was calm and erect, but Mrs. Evans
dressed entirely in black, appeared
nervous and worried, maintaining
all obviously forced calm.
Clerk Queries Jury
The clerk asked the jury if they
had reached a verdict.
I'VE have" Hiram Parker, fore
man, replied.
What is your verdict?"
Both guilty of murder in the
first degree"
There was a pause, as defense
counsel looked expectantly to Par

Defense counsel demanded a pol

assured the court that he was in full
accord with the verdict which
meant q death sentence for the
woman and man.
Justice Bodine then pronounced
the death sentence.
Evans and Duffy were found dead
in Evans house, situated in the
woods near the naval air station at
Lakehurst, the day after Evans had
been honorably discharged from the
navy. They had been shot and
beaten to death, and the room was
wrecked.
Both Were Mangled
Authorities first thought they had
killed each other in fight. In
vestigation showed, however, that
both were mangled and beaten to
such an extent that neither could
have killed the other.
Suspicion pointed to Mrs. Evans
and Underdown, who were known
to be friendly. Local police had
raided the house a year or two
before, but Mrs. Evans was acquit-
ted in court of charge of selling
liquor.
Soon after being arrested, Mrs.
Evans was alleged to have made a
confession saying she had plotted
with Underdown to kill her hus-
band in order that they might get
married. She later denied this.
Two other marines, Claude E.
Carmichael and Madison T. Chap
pei, from the air station, alleged to
have been involved with Underdown
in the killing, were arrested. They
were not tried with Underdown and
Mrs. Evans and appeared as state
witnesses.
