Man Pleads Guilty
To Murder of Wife
In Second Degree
Nichols Enters Plea
.Before Second Trial
In District Court Opens
Pleading guilty to second-degree
murder before going on trial again,
Clarence E. Nichols, 30-year-old
plumber, was sentenced to life im
prisonment today for the year-old
slaying of his wife, Mrs. Viola K.
Nichols, 33.
The sentence was Imposed in Dis
trict Court by Justice Bolitha J.
Laws. Nichols was accused of beat
ing his wife to death with a rolling
pin after a quarrel at W03 P street
N.W. on September 28, 1938.
Although he had been convicted
last May of murdef in the first de
gree, Nichols was granted a new
trial, scheduled to open this morn
ing. On advice of counsel, however,
the defendant entered a guilty plea
and Justice Laws immediately
passed sentence.
Assistant United 8tates Attorney
Arthur B. Caldwell said that since
the plea had been offered before the
second trial started, it was not ac
ceptable. But he pointed out that
Justice Laws had made an independ
ent investigation of the case, con
sulting alienists. In the light of
their findings Mr. Caldwell said it
appeared nothing was to be gained
by a second trial and that the dis
trict attorney’s office accepted the
second-degree murder plea.
At the time he granted a new trial,
Justice Laws stated the alienists he
consulted had expressed the opinion
that Nichols "did not have a de
liberate and premeditated purpose”
to kill his wife. Because of their
views, he said, the first-degree ver
dict should be set aside and a new
trial held.
Nichols was represented by At
torneys James A. O’Shea, Alfred
Goldstein and John H. Burnett.
