Death Sentence Sought in Gordon Murder Trial
Twelve jurors were asked to convict George Washington Gordon of first degree murder and seek the death penalty for the May 29 1962 pistol slaying of 47 year old Joseph Leon Desrosiers. Prosecutor Massie outlined that Gordon entered Desrosiers home with consent from his niece Mrs Hower and shot Desrosiers in the chest then shot him again and then fired at Desrosiers wife. Mrs Desrosiers fled to her sister's home as police and rescue squads were summoned. The case links Gordon to a Richards Ave home and prior marriage to Mrs Desrosiers. Planned California trip and tool disposal are noted.
