to the appointment.

that he believed there was no doubt

1t is a matter OF record that SEN

to say that he would make the race

murder in the first degree for the
deaths of Amiel Calcaterra, IA

The jury was completed early

Authorities never announced the

The bodies of both were found

Authorities said De Saints ad-

planned that Hemphill accompanied
them. &Ha
In some quarters, the opinion
was voiced that the death of Cal
