MURDER OF WOMAN
ASSAILANTS TO HANG RECORD OF TALK IN CELL VANCOUVER, Nov. 24 Convicted through a dictograph hidden in a cell at Dauphin, Manitoba, Peter Kortens, Daniel Prvtuk and Daniel Kanuka were sentenced to hang for the fatal beating of an 81-vear-old farm woman, Anna Cottick, during a burglary after her husband had been clubbed unconscious. This is the first time in Manitoba that dictograph records have been admitted as evidence. The police listenedin while the accused discussed the crime, agreeing that they should not have done it. A police stenographer recorded every word, ensuring accuracy, and another stenographer made a similar record in an adjoining room.
