Guilty verdict in forgery case at midnight court
The State v. William Groves ended with a guilty verdict after about an hour’s jury deliberation in the criminal court at midnight. Groves, former focal superintendent of Metropolitan Life Insurance, faced extensive cross examination over irregularities, letters, and forged documents. The trial exhausted testimony, a night session was held, and Groves was remanded to custody pending the judge’s ruling on a possible new trial.
