Judge Delays Ruling In Abbott Case On Motion For New Trial
Hamilton Ohio judge Fred B. Cramer deferred ruling for a week to 10 days on motions for new trials for Marie Conn Abbott and Cyril Gordon, convicted of slaying her husband Morris Abbott on May 31. Abbott’s counsel William Hopkins argued for immediate sentencing and reformatory confinement, but the judge warned the action could jeopardize an appeal since the trial transcript isn’t ready. Hopkins challenged the verdict as illegal contending it could not reflect second degree murder and pressed that a conspiracy to kill implies first degree murder, while noting a compromise verdict cannot free a defendant.
