It came in 1958 as he neared the completion of an Air Force hitch. An Orem couple was stabbed to death in New York City and the chief suspect was their son. The Utah connection (the slain husband was stationed in the military) created an interest among Rocky Mountain readers, but neither of the Salt Lake dailies had a reporter on the scene.

While in jail for suspicion of intoxication, the county discovered he was suspected of mudering a young man in Omaha, Neb. The man pled continually from Bountiful to with me to believe his innocence-a- nd my stories and a later investigation by a Salt Lake attorney proved that he had been hastily convicted in one day without even a proper trial. When he was released from jail, the sheriff allowed me to enter the cell and lead him out to his waiting wife and children. The episode showed the Farmington; I told him it wasnt even conceivable. ..I remember when the city paid $100,000 for construction of the government complex and there were taxpayers yelling that the price was too high.
