ABOMINABLE CRIME
SENTENCE OF 20 YEARS’ IMPRISONMENT. By Telegraph—Prsss Association. Naples, June 10. George Dunn, convicted yesterday of the manslaughter of Marion Baird, aged 71, at Hastings, was sentenced this morning by Mr. Justice Reed to twenty years’ imprisonment with hard labour. His Honour, addressing Dunn, said: “You were rightly convicted of an abominable, atrocious crime. Many a man who lips paid the penalty of his life for murder was not guilty of half the brutality you used—appalling brutality. Your crime marks you as being a creature so vile as to be unfit to associate with decent beings.” r
