Morley Receives 25 Years For Rape Case In Ogden
John Morley aged 26 of Ogden was sentenced to 25 years hard labor in Prince Albert penitentiary after being found guilty of raping a 13 year old Ogden girl. The assault described as wanton brutality occurred as the victim, followed home from school, was tied and left at a straw stack before she freed herself and returned home. The assize jury deliberated 40 minutes. The judge indicated death might be fitting but abstained from imposing it, noting Canada’s rarity of death sentences for this offence. Local residents searched all night for the girl.
