“Youthful Killer Is To Pay Penalty,” Kingston Whig-Standard. February 20, 1932. Page 14.  ---- Shot Neighbor Who Visited His Room When He Was Sick ---- YORKTON, Sask. — Found guilty of murdering Malcolm McDonald, at the home of his father in the Barvas district on the evening of December 18 last by a jury, after three hours’ deliberation, Mike Spahn was sentenced by Mr. Justice H. Y. MacDonald, of Regina to be hanged on May 10. 

McDonald met his death while visiting the room of Spohn, who was in bed recovering from an illness. There had been bad feeling between the two neighboring families in the past but the young men were apparently friendly.

During the proceedings, the accused, a sickly youth of about twenty years, attired in a dark shirt gray, sweater, and dark tweed trousers, was a pitiful sight as he nervously twisted and squirmed in the prisoner’s box, the sallow features at hit face expressionless.

Constable W. Hutchinson and Detective-Sergeant N. J. Anderson both of the RCMP, told the court of arriving at the Spohn home on the evening of the shooting and of finding the accused in bed while Malcolm McDonald lay in a pool of blood on the floor. A single barrel shot gun, containing a used cartridge, in the breech, was lying on the floor near the deceased and on the ceiling and one of the walls of the room bullet marks were found.

Medical evidence revealed that the death bad been due to hemorrhage and bleeding and that the thumb on the left band of the deceased had been slightly injured, there being slight abrasion between the first and second knuckles and a small hole drilled out under the nai. This was believed to have been caused by stray pellets from the shot.

Expert evidence tendered at the trial by C. Howbolt, gunsmith of Saskatoon, and Staff Sergeant B. J. O. Strong, expert with firearms of the RCMP at Regina, was to the effect that the shot which had killed Malcolm McDonald had been fired at a distance of three feet. In the opinion of both these witnesses, the deceased could not have been holding the gun in the left hand in the manner as shown to police officers by Spohn, following the shooting, and inflict the wound that caused his death nor even inflict the minor injury on the thumb of his left hand. 

Only eleven witnesses took the stand to give evidence, these all being called by the crown and no evidence tendered by the defence.
