THURSDAY AFTERNOON. JANUARY 11, 1940 PAGE FIVE Would End Death Penalty Six 'Teen-Age Defendants May Die In Chair BOSTON, (3 six 'teenage defendants, including a girl of 17, awaiting trial in Massachusetts on first degree murder charges, opponents of the death penalty opened a new attack Thursday upon. capital punishment. Mrs. Herbert Ehrmann, secretary of the Massachusetts Council for Abolition of the Death Penalty, asserted in a statement that if any of the six were convicted of first degree murder, Bay State law permuted but one death and that public abhorrence would be such that the electric chair would be banished from the state.

She contended a 7- year-old child could be executed under present statutes. Four of the boys awaiting trial are but 17 years old and the fifth is the girl's 18-year-old ex-soldier boy friend. Commissioner of Correction Arthur L. Lyman said he had no record of the execution of a woman in Massachusetts since the days of "witch trials."
