Governor Maw Directs Letter To Pyramid To Explain BeBee Case Editors Note: The letter reprinted below was brought to the Pyramid Thursday morning Mr. by Thomas W. Jensen. Jensen stated the letter had been prepared by Governor Herbert B. Maw for publication in the his Pyramid in explanation of Berecent reprieve of Hyrum Bee. Office of The Governor September 1, 1948 TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: It has come to my attention that some of the citizens of Sanpete County are severely criticizing my action in the reprieve of Hiram BeBee, who was condmened to die on August 18, 1948, for the murder of Lon T. Larsen, City Marshal of Mt. Pleasant. In fairness to all concerned I make the following statement concerning this matter: At the time the reprieve was granted an application for commutation to life imprisonment had been filed with the State Board Linof Pardons by Mr. BeBee. Constitution of the der the 12, State, Article VII, Section it is provided, among other things, that no commutation ex-or pardon shall be granted, cept after a full hearing before the Board, in open session, after previous notice of the time and. place of such hearing has been given. Under the rules and regulations of the State Board of Pardons the application is re- d Notice To Waterusers Because ol the current water shortage, homeowners in the east part oi Mt. Pleasant were completely without water last Wednesday evening. Obviously, such a condition would be disasterous il fire occurred in the area referred to above. Therefore, we must request that the citizens of Mt. Pleasant cease using hydrant water for irrigation and lawn sprinkling for one week: from Saturday, Sept. 4, to Saturday, Sept. 11. Signed: S. M. Nielsen, mayor Hershel S. Jensen, chairman, committee on waterworks Ruel H. Seely, member, committee on waterworks. I - Vets Come Home The bodies of three Mt. Pleas- ant youths who lost their lives in World War II are now enioute home, according to arivhe.s by their parents. Remains are those oi Kiist Lieutenant Joseph L. Matson, son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Matson; Staff Sergeant Frank Ruesch, and Staff Sergeant Olof L. Rosenlof, son of Mr. and Mrs. Abner Rosenlof. Rosenlof, 25, was Sergeant killed in action Dec. 8, 39 14 at Larraine, France in the Battle of the Saar River. He was born in Mt. Pleasant September 12, 1919 and was a former student at North Sanpete high school. He had engaged in farming and had also been employi d in Bradshaws Auto Parts Store. He enlisted in the army in Apiil 1942 and received his training at Camp Roberts, San Luis Obispo, Calif, Camp Rucker, Alabama and Camp Butner, North Carolina and was assigned overseas in May 1914. At the time he met his death he was performing the duties of an officer as a forwa.d observer. Plans were then being made for his promotion to Second Lieutenant. He was the Silver Star, the Gold Star and the Purple Heait. (Continued on back page.) quired to be published at least two weeks prior to the meeting of the Board of Pardons in order to give those interested, either for or against the application, an opportunity to he heard before the Board in open session. During the months of the State July and August Board of Pardons is in vacation. Consequently, a public hearing in open session on the application for commutation of Hiram BeBee could not have been made before the full Board prior to the date set for his execution. As the Chief Executive of this State I was faced with the alternative of granting a repriev. until the next meeting of the Board of Pardons, which is to be held on September 16, or allow the condemned man to die before the firing squad without his constitutional right to have his application for commutation heard before the State William Bievver, 73, di.d at 2 I felt Board of Pardons. duly a. m.
