PROSECUTOR SLAMS WILLIAM ELLIS AS COWARD IN MURDER TRIAL
Chicago March 4 Prosecutor Malato labeled William Ellis a vile coward who killed his wife and sought to ruin her, as Ellis faced the jury. He attacked Ellis and Brantford’s Fred Cauldwell, noting Cauldwell’s absence from the court and Ellis’s own plea of causation. The defense likely centers on fireside and a broken home, but the prosecutor insists Ellis brought only a body to the fireside. Meanwhile Edward Crook was found guilty of first degree murder and given a life sentence in Des Moines for killing his friend after the man’s relation with Mrs. Driscoll.
