Carl

was
found
guilty
by
the
jury
at

Court

here
this

of
murdering
his
two
companions,
Max
Westphal

Herman

at

early
in

of

and
was
sentenced
by
Mr.
Justice
Fisher
to
be

on
December

The
Jury
reached
its
verdict
after
deliberating
for
three
hours
and
35
minutes.
The
trial
had
occupied
the
two
days'

was

to
be

In
a
statement
the
effect
of
which
was
that
Peters
had
murdered
Westphal
and
then
committed
suicide.
Fredericks'
story
was
that
Peters
fired
one
or
two
shots
at
him,
while
he
was
some
distance
from
the
camp,
but
that
he
made
his
escape
into
the
brush.
Fredericks
said
he
later
heard
other
shots
and
after
waiting
for
an
hour
in
the
bush
made
his
way
back
to
the
camp.
Both
Westphal
and
Peters
were
dead
and
the
suggestion
was
Peters
had
murdered
Westphal
and
then
committed
suicide.
The
body
of
Westphal
was
on
a
camp
bed,
and
that
of
Peters
close
to
it
with
a
gun
by
its
side.
Fredericks
admitted
the
hiding
of
the
bodies
and
the
clearing
up
of
the
camp,
but
said
he
had
done
this
for
fear
he
would
be
accused
of
the
murders
by
the
police.
A.

who

Fredericks,
