Eleven Jurors Object to Death Penalty in Chinese Murder Case
In Justice Gould's court the Wan case proceeded with jurors examining guilt and the death penalty. Eleven opposed the death sentence while three would not convict on circumstantial evidence. Fifteen jurors excused, an additional panel of 160 names drawn, with eleven tentatively accepted, including Edward Barton and Henry Henderson among others. Wan, slight in stature and well educated, faced questions on circumstantial evidence and the alleged third degree confession. Court observers filled the room as Wan sat poised, defending against charges for the January 29 murder of Dr Theodore Wong.
