Beaton Death Sentence Quashed for Life in Newfoundland
Governor commutes Alfred Beaton’s death to life imprisonment with periodic reviews after trial verdict of first degree murder. Beaton greets the change with brief remarks as petitions against the sentence circulate among about ten thousand St John’s residents. The Mercer firm lodges the first Newfoundland murder appeal, and mentions bi-direction at trial. Also notes Chesley A. Crosbie’s minority report on Newfoundland’s union terms and the Canada Senate approval of confederation steps. A Twillingate resident proposes Shoal Tickle improvements including rocks removal, a new wharf, and harbour dredging to aid small passenger boats.
