When, in 1937, a 28-year-old stenographer and enthusiastic hunter is found killed by a gunshot to the temple in an isolated hunting camp north of the Sault, things heat up as a married, celebrity former major league baseball player is implicated in her death
Following up on last week’s article about the murder and the arrest of a suspect, find out what happened at the trial!
In a practice no longer allowed in Canada, the names of the 12 men selected to be the jury in Vernon Spencer’s murder trial were published in the paper. The members of the jury were; Ben Archibald , Sam Arbour , Norman Clark , Chas. Constable Jr. , John Davidson , Chas. Duncan , Frank Dwyer , R.M. Fair , Melvin Garside , George Frech , Russell Lamming , and Frank Rodgers .
The testimony of William Roach was also heard pertaining to Spencer’s arrival at his home after finding Helen’s body. He had put in a call to Dr. Holcomb for Spencer, then at Olar’s recommendation, he called the police. They had managed to bring a Michigan circuit judge, a retired Michigan judge, and even the Assistant Attorney General for the State of Michigan. They would testify to his good reputation but admitted their faith in his honesty and morality had been shaken by the facts of the case, as all expressed concern that he had been deceiving his wife.
The closing remarks of the Crown took an opportunity to address an allegation made by the defence that Fred Olar or one of the other lumberjacks or guides in the area may have had something to do with Grier’s death.
