Her father looked keenly at her.

Beth nodded. As she went out Freeman

COWLEY RECEIVES
HER0'S FUNERAL
"Baby Face" Nelson's Men,
esiS Praised at Rites in
Salt Lake City.
By the Associa ted Press.

By the Associated Press.
SALT LAKE CITY, December s.
Samuel P. Cowley, nemesis of George
Baby Face" Nelson, received hero's
funeral honors yesterday.
While a congregation that packed
the quaint hand-hewn benches of the
assembly hall on the historic Norman
Temple Square listened attentively for
more than two hours, representatives
of Nation, State, city and church hailed
the Department of Justice agent killed
near Chicago last week
1.-THE State you so well 1onored pays
tribute to your faithfulness and your
great work." said Gov. Henry H.
Blood
Despite the official nature of the
service and the congregation that
packed the historic church building,
the addresses that revealed the life
and relationships of Inspector Cowley
gave it the intima cy of a dim-lit
funeral chapel
They told of the irony that made
Samuel P. Cowley, modest, retiring
student, missionary and Sunday school
teacher. the instrument that termi-
mated the career of the Nations No. /
enemy.
Cowley, son of Norman parents here,
served four years in the Hawaiian
Islands as a missionary of the Latter
Day Saints Church. He later taught
Sunday school class in Washington.
After he had taken his law degree
at George Washington University,
working his way, as he had through
the Utah State Agricultural College,
he ATTAINED an appointment in the
Department of Justice.
Harold Nathan, assistant director of
the Division of Investigation, praised
Cowley as an officer.
Il think he might have smiled at
the thought of being the center of
ceremonies such as these" Nathan
said. He never was a killer. He
was the student type-retiring and
modest"
