Jackson. Miss.. July 12.?Charac*.
terizing the crime as one of "fiendish
brutality." unparalleled In the
criminal history of the State, the
Supreme Court today affirmed the
death sentence of Charles Marshall,
a young Monroe County farmer.
Date of execution was fixed at August
20.
Marshall was convicted of dynamiting
the home of Bob Miller,
shooting four of its inmates, then
setting fire to the debris, cremating
the bodies.
One of the victims was Marshall's
own illegitimate child, the
testimony develop<*d.
The court's decision, read by Associate
Justice Holden. gave full
credence to testimony of Pearl Mty
Miller. 14. sole survivor of fthe
tragedy, who escaped the assassin
by hiding behind a door and then
saw Marshall kill her father, mother
and sisters and the latter'a Illegitimate
child. After the first three
had been killed, the girl said. Marshall
turned his attention to the
crying infant as it crawled across
the floor, slaying it with a blow.
Referring to the girl's story. Justice
Holden declared "she spoke the
truth as it can only be spoken by
a child," and that the jury was
eminently justified in believing she
had been spared that she might reveaf
the perpetrator of "this dastardly
deed that Justice might be
done and the law vindicated."
The court's decision was unanimous.
