RIGHT TO KILL ADMITTED
MEN WHO SLEW FATHER AND LOVER FRENCH JURIES’ DECISIONS PARIS, Friday. The right to kill has been admitted by two more French juries. Acquittals have been secured in the cases of Lewis Marchland, aged 18, who killed his father because of the latter’s cruelty, and in that of Joseph Amar, who shot his sweetheart because she had brought about his financial ruin. Marehland’s plea was that his father enraged him to the point of killing, because accused’s sister was slow in serving the coffee. The father, he said, was consistently cruel. Amar’s counsel related eloquently how, the dead woman had Insisted upon changing her place of residence from town to town. This involved financial loss upon accused. The affair culminated in a fatal scene when the woman demanded a fur coat.
