EVENING TIMES
25 OCTOBER 1972
KNIFE YOUTH IS JAILED FOR LIFE
People who use a knife against their fellow citizens are not entitled to say, “We did not intend to kill” if death results.
High Court Judge Lord Stott told a murder jury this at Ayr today when Patrick Doherty, (19), was jailed for life for murder.
The judge said there was nothing peculiar about the law of self-defence. An attacked person could take whatever steps were necessary but retaliation must bear some sort of relationship to the danger.
The judge was summing up during the second day of the trial of Doherty, who was charged with murdering farm worker, Hugh Clarke, (18), of Beggs Terrace, Ardrossan, outside a Saltcoats Hotel on July 27.

MAN CHARGED WITH MURDER
A 37-year-old deaf and dumb man appeared in private at Kilmarnock Sheriff Court yesterday on a murder charge.
William Mair, a pipe fitter, of Giffen Road, Saltcoats, Ayrshire, was accused of murdering 17-year-old Helen Sinclair and attempting to murder her mother, Mrs Yvonne Sinclair, in their home in Howat Crecent, Irvine, Ayrshire.
The women were found in their bungalow on Sunday morning with severe head injuries. Helen died yesterday in the Southern General Hospital, Glasgow, and Mrs Sinclair is still “critical”.
A social worker interpreted for Mair who made no plea.

DEATH OF SALTCOATS SHIPMASTER
One of the oldest shipmasters in Saltcoats, Captain Charles Torrance, Melbourne Terrace, died very suddenly at half-past nine yesterday morning. He had been out of doors and was talking to a friend at the back gate of his garden when he fell down and expired.
At one time he was in the Allan Line, and afterwards, when he became a shipmaster, he sailed in the West India trade from Greenock. On leaving the sea he interested himself in public affairs, first in the Parish Council, of which for many years he was a member, and later in the Town Council. His leisure was given to his garden, and he was a successful cultivator of flowers.
In a few days he would have entered his 77th year.
