THE CHINA MAIL, SEPTEMBER 6, 1941.

KILLED WIFE, NOT MURDERER SAY JURY HITLER'S

SENTENCE OF EIGHTEEN MONTHS” HARD LABOUR WAS PASSED ON AN ARMY LIEUTEN- ANT WHO SHOT HIS WIFE BECAUSE OF HER ASSOCIATION WITH ANOTHER MAN

BLITZ

The jury found the officer not guilty of murder, but guilty of manslaughter, and asked the Judge to give sympathetic consideration in any sentence.

The officer, Lieutenant Albert Edward. Gould, 37, South Wales Borderers, was charged at Stafford Assizes with the murder of his wife, Hannah Kate Gould, 30, at Lichfield.

He broke down when he told how he arranged to go to church with his wife and repeat their

marriage vows.

But next day his wife told him she had changed her mind.

Lieutenant Gould found letter written by Keddle to his wife which began: "Dearest

Katie," and concluded. "All my love, over yours, Jock," follow: ed by about a dozen "crosses." Gould and his wife had been married thirteen years and they had five children, the youngest being Ave.

In May, Gould overstayed 11 leave and on the night of the tragedy went to his mother-in- law's house, where he found his wife.

He fired six rounds from his revolver, said Mr. Bourke, and three bullets passed through his wife's body. Afterwards he said: "I have made a mistake. I thought I had left one for myself."
