BY thus saving Medley burial in

and said the prayers of Catholic
burial.
There was none to claim Medley,s
body; he had no known relatives.
Letter Sent to Truman.
Father O'Connor said Medley
made last win and testament In
which he requested the priest to
give him Christian burial.
He also willed his possessions-a
suit of clothes and a suitcase to
Father O'Connor to be given to q
charity.
Throughout the last months of
Medley's life, Father O'Connor had
talked and prayed with the con-
demned man. Before Medley went
to his death, he received the last
sacraments of the church. While |
Father O'Connor stood at his side.
Medley sat in the electric chair
clasping rosary in his right hand
and muttering prayer.
Father O'Connor said the depart
ment of Catholic Charities made
the burial possible.
Jail officials said letter Medley
wrote President Truman shortly
before the execution contained q
review of his case and protested his
innocence.
Charles G. Ross, press secretary,
said the letter was received at the
White House and was turned over
to Clark Clifford, the Presidents
legal adviser. Mr.. Ross added that
it would not be made public. He
would not indicate its nature.

preme Court declined to intervene

his life. His attorney, James Laugh
lin, asked the court for a stay of

acted on another petition based on
Medley's sanity.
But the appellate court turned
down the petition and the Supreme
Court, after Is minutes deliberation,
refused to consider the case further.
