MURDER IN SAMOA
RESULT OF FAMILY QUARREL SENTENCE OF DEATH (United Press Assn.—Elec. Tel. Copyright) APIA, Feb. 20 Recently a family quarrel between natives at Silosolo village, on the south coast, resulted in tragedy. Two of the males had a heated argument and separated under unfriendly conditions. One went to his fale and fell asleep. He was followed by the other some time later and was stabbed while lying on his mat. He died before medical aid could be procured, and his assailant was subsequently arrested a'nd charged with the murder. The case came before the High Court last week, and he was found guilty of wilful murder and sentenced to death by Chief Judge Harley.
