SAYS SHE WAS FORCED TO KILL COMPANION. Sentence Is to Be Passed July 9. Her Lawyer Promises to * Make Appeal. By Private Leased Wire. Stockton, Cal., June 26.—Mrs. Emma Ledoux. convicted Saturday of the murder of Albert N. McVIcar, has the distinction of being the first woman In California found guilty of murder In the first degree without a recommenda tion for mercy upon the part of the Jury. The body of McVIcar, a- man weigh Ing 180 pounds, was found packed Into a trunk at the Southern Pacific depot baggage room on the evening of March 26, this year. A quick Investigation threw suspicion upon Mrs. Ledoux, w ho had been traveling as McVIcar's wife, and within seventy-two hours she was under arrest at Antioch, not many miles from the scene of the crime. Evidence was brought showing that she had married McVIcar while her first husband, Ledoux, was living. The strongest circumstantial evidence pointed td the fact that the woman had drugged McVIcar and before he waa dead, had packed his body Into the trunk, locked and roped It and sent for the expressman. Medical testimony showed that McVIcar had smothered to death In the trunk. Mrs. Ledoux, a frail woman, weigh ing 102 pounds. In the fare of the strongest kind of evidence, maintained her Innocence to the last. When arrested she told contradic tory stories, naver denying knowledge of McVIcar's death. Her defense was that McVIcar had taken poison and that a man named Joe Miller, of whom no trace could be found, compelled her, at the point of a pistol, to put McVI car's body Into the trunk. July < has been selected as the day for sentence and Mrs. Ledoux's attor neys have given notice of appeal. AUTHOR OF “23” IS FINED $23 AND TOLD TO “SKIDOO” lly Private Leased Wire.
