GUILTY OF MURDER
MAN SENTENCED FOR MURDER OF WOMAN PALMERSTON N., February 11. For the murder of a 69-year-old widow, Mrs Emily Christina Hall, in her home at Foxton on November 3, 1949, Napoleon Brown, aged about 28 years, a flax cutter, married, with two children, but living apart from his wife, was found guilty by a jury in the Supreme Court this evening. Brown made no reply when asked if he had anything to say why the sentence of the Court should not be pronounced upon him, and Mr Justice Gresson immediately passed sentence —imprisonment for life with hard labour.
