SENTENCE TO STAND
MAN WHO MURDERED CHILD IN N.S.W. SYDNEY, May 10. Cabinet today decided to carry out the death sentence on Alfred Spicer for the murder of Marcia Hayes. The date of the execution will be fixed by the Executive Council tomorrow. Alfred Spicer, aged 65 years, was found guilty of murdering a six-year-old girl, Marcia Hayes, in December last year. A police dog, Tess, was reported to have played a major part in solving the mystery of the child’s disappearance. A large party of searchers was unable to locate the child when Tess, after being allowed to sniff the child’s cothing at her home, set out on the trail across the paddocks and finally located the body in a bag in a creek near the Hawkesbury River. The child had been outraged and strangled.
