The evidence overwhelmingly supported the assertion of the Crown that although Lassandro had fired the fatal shots, Picariello had been involved in every stage of the tra-gedy. The jury accepted this view of events and brought in a verdict of guilty as charged against both of the defendants. Lassandro and Picariello were to be executed on February 21st 1923, but because of a number of appeals and questions over whether a young woman like Lassandro ought to hang, the date for their execution was postponed for some months. In the end, though, Lassandro’s fate had been sealed at the time of her arrest when she told police, “I’m alive and he’s dead - that’s all there is to it.” Hangman Wakefield conducted the executions of both Lessandro and Picariello on May 2nd 1923.  Lessandro was the fifth woman to be hanged in Canada She went to the scaffold under the influence of one ounce of alcohol and a half-gram injection of morphine.
