CHARLES CLARK IS AGAIN
CONVICTED OF MURDER
Hurts His Own Case by Damaging Admissions
on the Stand-Remanded for Sentence.
Evidently fearful of the verdict, after
his weak defense, when he took
the stand in his own behalf, Tuesday,
Charles Clark sat with his face buried
in his hands when the jury filed into
Judge Phelan's court room, Tuesday
afternoon, and pronounced him guilty
of murdering Horton Warren in the
Goderich house, Brush-st. and Jefferson-ave.,
on Oct. 28, 1902, affirming the
verdict of the jury in Clark's former
trial.
Clark was remanded for sentence,
which must be life imprisonment under
the law.
A ripple of excitement went through
the court room when Clark took the
stand, after failing to do so in his
first trial, but he had hardly started
to testify, when it became plain that
he was only hurting his own
case
with his damaging admissions.
