LONDON MURDER
PAINTER SENTENCED TO ‘ DEATH GREEK KING MENTIONED (Rec. 2 p.m.) LONDON, Sept. 19. Arthur Robert Boyce, aged 45, a painter, was found guilty and sentenced to death for murdering Elizabeth McLindon, aged 41, a housekeeper, who was found shot in a locked room of a luxuriously-fur-nished house in Chester square, Westminster. McLindon had been preparing a house for the occupation of the King of the Hellenes. Boyce’s counsel, in his address to the jury, said the King of the Hellenes was obviously not one of the suspects, but he was apparently not universally liked in Greece. Greek nationals here might have been let in by McLindon, searched the house for • documents and shot McLindon when she tried to interrupt. Boyce gave evidence that he was McLindon’s lover. Ha stayed with her in the King’s house but left for Brighton on June 8, when McLindon told him she had been advised that the King of the Hellenes was arriving. He did not see her after that date. '
