Show PROVO (UTAH) EVENING HERALD, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 5, 1935 PAGE FIVB Last Plea Set As Man Faces Gun Execution By GEORGE D. CRISEY United Press Staff Correspondent SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, June 4U.P Closer and closer to the blaze of rifles in the hands of an execution squad draws the lifeline of Delbert Green, 26, convicted and confessed killer of his wife, mother-in-law and uncle. Green probably Is Utah's most unusual prisoner. He is working daily at prison, at the edge of the city, although for most of the past five years he has been under sentence to die. Only one slender chance of life remains. The execution date has been set for June 26. The state board of pardons and paroles meets June 15 and unless it acts in his behalf he must face death by shooting, a fate he has dodged for five years. Firing Squad Chosen In Utah a prisoner has a choice of being hanged or shot. In all the state's history only one man has chosen the rope. Green, true to his distinction of being different, refused to select either method of death on the three occasions a judged sentenced sentenc-ed him to the supreme penalty. Asked to name the means of death, Green repiled: "Neither." ' The replye availed him nothing. The judge in each instance, merely mere-ly selected death by shooting. Crime Five Years Ago The reply availed him nothing, than five years ago in a tiny farming community near here. The trio was shot to death. Green, then 20, fled to Ogden but was captured within a few hours. He readily admitted his guilt. "They nagged me," he explained Convicted speedily. Green won a stay of execution by appealing to the state supreme court. That appeal was successful.ie-was retried re-tried and again corivicted. Once more -a stay was granted through an appeal to the supreme court, but in the latter instance the appeal ap-peal was denied. Green then was resentenced to died on June 26. With all appeals avenues exhausted. ex-hausted. Green's sole chance of evading tho firing squad lies with the board of pardons and paroles, scheduled to meet only 11 days be-' fore his execution date.
