fore bringing in verdict OF second
degree murder against Alex zielinski, As

viii Leach before he sentenced the de-
fendant to 10 to 20 years in Eastern
Penitentiary.
Zielinski shot and killed Diamond
Glaros, a restaurant proprietor, two
months ago. alleging that Glaros had
stolen the affections OF Mrs. zielinsKl
and married her.
Judge Leach said:
According to rumor, six of the jurors
had the courage to give him (ziehnski)
his Just deserts, but because there were
uncertain sob-sisters on the jury, they
were unable to do SO.
Favored Death.
"By sob-sister I do not mean
woman. I mean an effeminate person
Of either sex. who has not the moral
courage to give pain to the wrongdoer
when 1t is his duty to do So"
Judge Leech made it plain that the
court felt Zielinski should have been
given first degree with the death pen
atty.
The jury, composed of men and
women. sang among other hymns,
Guide Me- O Thou Great Jehovah, "
before rendering its verdict.
In commenting on the case before
sentencing Zielinski, Judge Leach said:
And He said, what hast thou done,
the voice of thy brothers blood crieth
from the ground That is the remark
Of Jehovah to the first murderer and
It is still applicable to every murderer.
Cowardly Shot.
"In this case the defendant assassi-
mated a man with a cowardly shot in
the back. BY his own admission he was
guilty of trying to extort money from
his wife by threatening to dynamite a
house.
In court he was a perjuror and a
whimpering cry-baby.
Protesting the utmost love for his
wife, he did everything in his power to
blacken her"
