What remained was a test of the system, which regardless of the jury's verdict, shattered the faith of "we the people " concerning a fair trial. Realistically, everyone is equal under the law.

And don't overlook the cold, hard fact that two. human beings were murdered with no one held accountable. If that isn't enough to constitute a fatal illness for the the public system, compare display of the Simpson trial and the unobtrusive - almost secretive - plight of Judith Iverson.

Close your eyes and you can almost hear the judge banging his gavel, "Order in this court" It is little wonder that the Beaver County Courthouse has received accolades as one of THE historical stops in the state. Commissioner Marshall especially enjoyed looking for famous names in the register of the Hutchings Hotel. The hotel, once located where the football field is today, was owned by his grandfather Hutchings. The tour served a two-fol- d purpose. First, to share museum contents with County officials, and second, to advise of the need for maintenance and various repairs. "It is actually one of the best preserved historical buildings in Southern Utah," Lucille Strong instructed, as she pointed out a bit of crumbling concrete on the sides of the front steps. The roof also needs some attention. Prior to the tour, DUP committee members presented their version of a maintenance agreement to the Commissioners. Mildred Atkin, Ila Messinger and Georgine Warby, who also serve on the committee, were unable to attend. Now that the museum is officially closed for the season, treasures will be packed and stored for winter.
