The. defendants. Lieutenant
Thomas H. Massie; his mother-la-law,
Mrs. Granville Forteseue, aad
two navy enlisted men, Albert O.
Jones and E. J. Lord, received that
vendict with varying reactions.
The verdict left various possi
bilities for the length and manner
ot punishment. Tho maxim sat
penalty Is ten years imprisonment.
The lightest sentence possible)
would be a ten-year suspended
sentence for each. But the court
can use discretion between these
extremes. The governor ot tho
territory has the power to par

Mrs. Massie Sobs
As Verdict Heard
A sob broke the 'tense slleace
when Mrs. Thalia Massie, wife of
the naval officer and victim of a
criminal attack In which Kahaha
wal allegedly confessed partaking,
heard the verdict which may meam
ten years imprisonment for her
husband, the admitted killer; her
aristocratic mother, and the two
navy "gobs."
Montgomery Winn of the de
fense gave notice of sppeal. Judge
Davis announced the defendants
would be placed la custody of Cap

cer, and that sentence would be
pronounced a week from today.
The climax of the long-dram.

Massie's lips were white and sot.
