No date given but most of her clippings were from 1905 - 1916. A Little Girl a Matricide Grand Haven, Mich., September 6 -- May Pierce, a thirteen year old girl, was found guilty of manslaughter this morning, the jury having been out twelve hours. The child was accused of being an accomplice of George Chesebro, aged eighteen, in the murder of her mother on July 8. Chesebro was convicted of murder at the last term of court and is now serving a life sentence.
