CASE
SCENES AT TRIAL
Mrs. Ethel Lillio Major, aged
4, of Kirkby-on-Bain, near Horn- castle, was sentenced to death at Lincoln Assizes for the murder of her 44-year-old husband, Arthur Major, a lorry driver, whom she polsoned with strychnine,
The Jury, in which there were three women, recommended her to mercy. Knowing that a verdict would be reached, crowds gathered outside the court an hour before the proceedings were due to begin. They were kept in a queue outside the gates to the grounds of Lincoln Castle, where the Assize was held,
The gates were opened half an hour before the hearing was re- sumed and then people in the waiting crowd raced 100 yards across the Castle quadrangle to the court house in their efforts to get front seats in the public! gallery.
Mr. Justice Charles began hisi aumming up by referring to the part that circumstantial evidence played in the case.
