SENTENCED TO DEATH
THE TAMWORTH MURDER Press Association —By Telegraph—Copyright. SYDNEY, March 1. (Received March 1, at 10.20 a.ra.) Cyril Matthew Thompson was found guilty of tho murder of Frederick William Thorley at Tamworth, and has been sentenced to death. [The body of William Thorley, aged forty, a well-known shearer and rabbittrapper, was found under a bridge at Anzac Park, Tamworth, on June 2(3 last year, with a gaping wound in the back of the head. It was known that Thorley had over £2OO in an inside pocket of his vest when he entered the park, and it is surmised that the murderer waited for him from behind. Buttons were ripped from the vest, and the money was missing. The murderer, after committing the crime, apparently carried the body to the bridge and hid it underneath.]
