Lewes, Sussex, July 19. One-time choir boy John George Haigh, 39-year-old self-confessed "acid bath" murderer of nine men and women, smiled as an Assize Court.jury here today decided to send him to the gallows. His plea of paranoid insanity had failed.

The elderly, white-haired Foreman of the Jury said firmly; "We find him
