Show Pace, Ramsay Say Hayes Is Insane SALT LAKE CITY, Oct. 3 IM!J Two prominent Utah psychiatrists psychiat-rists appeared before a special meeting of the Utah state pardon board here today to declare that George Hayes, 54-year-old Tooele county "demon slayer" has the mentality of a child eight years and four months old. The witnesses, Dr. Garland H. Pace of the state mental hospital and Dr. H. H. Ramsay of the American Fork state training school, said Hayes undoubtedly was insane. Hayes last March was sentenced sentenc-ed to be executed by a firing squad for the murder of Sherman Cadwell, 71-year-old Lofgren recluse re-cluse whose radio Hayes claimed was sending "demons" into his head. Hayes' execution has been postponed to permit special pardon par-don board hearings on his mental men-tal condition. Attorney General Joseph Chez said, after a two-hour session that tended at noon, that the board would resume discussions late this afternoon but no decision de-cision would be made "until we have a chance to go into executive execu-tive session." |
