Her husband, George McDonald, will be hanged on Friday at Valley Field, lhe couple were condemned for the murder of Adelarde Bouchard, a taxi-driver, who was shot and robbed while taking the couple to the international border last July. The death sentence on a twenty-year-old girl created intense excitement in the United States and Eastern Canada, and great pressure was brought to bear to secure clemency. The woman was a former New York cabaret dancer. It is alleged that a confession was made by the girl that she did the actual shooting. McDonald repudiated this a few days ago from the death cell. Another man is still wanted for the murder.
