It's a dangerous and tragic fact that the BeBee case number of citizens in has become for an a symbol of doubt as to the this state an ugly symbol justice and underlying efficiency of the laws under which we live This sentiment is naturally strongest among the peoMt. Pleasant who have viewed with increasing disof ple may BeBee's apparent success at delaying the hour of retribution for his deliberate and premeditated murder of Mt. Pleasant City Marshal Lon T, Larsen BeBee shot Lon Larsen in cofd blood on the Main street of this community on October 15, 1945. Today, more than three years later, the convicted murderer is still alive and, according to current reports, planning another attempt to escape a just sentence of execution Let us examine the course of the BeBee case during the past three years. BeBee was originally found guilty of murder in the first degree in the spring of 1946 following a trial by jury in the district court at Manti District Judge John A. Hougaard sentenced him to die before a firing sguad ever-increasin- 1 April 2, g 1946. An appeal to the state supreme court brought an order for retrial on a technicality and upon the request of the slayer for a change of venue, the case was district court for a second jury trial which the Price taken to self-confess- began August 27, 1947. This second jury found him guilty with a recommendation for life imprisonment which Judge F. W. Keller overuled ordering BeBee to be executed August 1 1, 1947. The case was again appealed to the Supreme court which upheld Judge Keler's action, returning BeBee to the Price court to be resentenced. Judge Keller set August 11 of this year as the new date for execution, but sentence was temporarily set aside by Governor Herbert B. Maw who granted BeBee a reprieve so that he might appear before a September 16 meeting of the board of pardons with a request that the death sentence be commuted to life imprisonment. vote the board refused the request, thus send3 to Judge Keller's court for resentencing. back case ing the Now there are reports that BeBee will ask for a rehearing before the board of pardons. There is no doubt that published dissents ol the three members of the board of pardons who voted in BeBee's favor at last month's meeting have given just the encouragement BeBee needed to ask for a rehearing. There is not space here to examine the statements made by Supreme Court Justice James H. Wolfe, Eugene E. Pratt and Lester A Wade as to why they favored commutation of the death sentence. The general trend of these statements was summed up by Justice Pratt who said: "I think the legislature intended only the most heinous cases of murder in the first degree no . I think there was should exact the death penalty. I for it but believe this nevertheless killing, justification is not of such a heinous nature that requires the death penBy a 4-- inf Ihuidav ( Outlined By Reporter MARSHAL'S CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT evening, Octobei .is Midw ek Meditations will b, held at the manse An bout o. lit hie study n and prayet JOINT A planned.

Bracken Lee shows up more and more in the public print as plain old "Brack," and just to show you that Washington's fancy ways haven't taken the country out of the boy, Congressman Walter K. Granger now comes packaged and labeled in his political advertisements as "Walt". Thomas E. Dewey, the coldly efficient district attorot yesteryear, is now a friendly farmer from upstate ney New York who likes people to call him "Tom". Harry S. Truman, who would rather be folksy than president, does all right with the folksy name he was given to begin with. There's a trend for sure and there's no doubt that it lends the campaign a friendlier atmosphere than some campaigns in the past have shown. The first presidential campaign we remember in any detail, tor instance, was the bitter one of 1932. It would have been so much cosier ii the candidates had been re- terred to as "Frankie Boy" and "Herb." vote-catchin- 2 hoes, 4 shovels and other Disc Harrow, John tools; 1 Deere, 14 disc, Good, 13 ears Purchase price payable in lawful money of the United States.
