Murderer helped
An American, aged 65, who described himself as the “advance man for cosmic forces” was convicted of first-degree murder in last September’s bombing at Montreal’s main railway station in which three people died. Thomas Brigham, of Rochester, New York, was sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole for 25 years. The Court heard that after the explosion Brigham was one of the first on the scene helping the injured. In often contradictory testimony, Brigham, who pleaded not guilty, told the Court, “It I were bomber, would I have gone back to help people?”— Montreal.
