Death In Gas Chamber Decreed by
jury for John Gilbert Graham
Graham Asks Death
AS Soon as Possible

DENVER, 1.-TWO conflicting
documents in the case of John
Gilbert Graham, "a, condemned
to death in an airliner bombing,
were on file in Denver District
Court today.
However, Dist. Judge Joseph
M. Mcdonald, who presided at
Graham's three-Week-long trial,
remained at his home. Court alta
ches said he wouldn't be in court
today to consider the documents.
One is a signed affidavit in
which Graham, "a, states he wants
to die in Colorado's gas chamber
as soon as possible.
The other is a request for new
trial, filed by Graham's court-ap-
pointed lawyers. There has been
no indication when Judge McDon-
aid may act on either.
Graham signed an affidavit IN
his Denver County Jail cell Satur-
day which said in part: Il accept
the verdict of the jury and desire
that it be carried out with all con-
venient speed. This is my wish"
John J. Gibbons, one of Ora
hams lawyers, quoted the young
father as saying: eff that jury be-
lieved that crazy confession, there
is no use going any farther. "
Charles S. Vigil, another court
appointed lawyer, said Graham s
request for a new trial is based on
SO points of alleged error in con-
duct of the trial.
The motion, filed Saturday
claims the court erred in refusing
to permit Graham to be tried
without a jury, in refusing to dis
miss the case on grounds no crime
was committed in Denver and II

If you have been wondering how
you can repair deep scratch or
cigarette burn in a table top or
other piece of natural-fnish furni-
ture, here are two practical solu-
tons of your problem.
Whichever one you choose, the
first step is to clean out any dirt or
wax down to the bare wood, using
a sharp knife, sandpaper or steel
wool In dealing with cigarette
burn, be sure to cut or scrape away
all the charred wood.
The easiest and quickest pro-
cedure from here on is to fill the
cavity little more than full with
Plastic Wood After the Plastic
Wood has hardened, trim it down
with sharp knife or razor blade,
and sand it flush and smooth.
Touch up with varnish stain to
match.
An alternate procedure is to fill
the cavity almost full with Plastic
Wood; then, after the Plastic
Wood has hardened, complete fill
ing with stick shellac that matches
the furniture finish. The stick
shellac comes in wide variety of
natural-finish colors and shades.
To apply the stick shellac, melt
off the needed amount with heat
ed putty knife blade and smooth it
over the Plastic Wood filler, level
ing it with the surrounding sur
face. After the shellac has hard
ened, trim with your sharp knife
or razor blade, sand smooth and

Defense Paints Graham
As Pathological Liar
By FRANK PITMAN

DENVER, R-Death in Color
ADDS gas chamber was decreed
Friday night for John Gilbert Ora
ham, "a, who confessed-then de-
matchmaking an airliner that
hurled his mother and 43 others
to death.
Seven men and five women
jurors deliberated II minutes be-
fore returning a conviction of first
degree murder in the death of
Graham's well-to-do mother, Mrs.
Daisie E. King, SIS.
In his instructions to the jurors,
Dist. Judge Joseph M. Mcdonald
had advised they must determine
whether Graham's confession was
voluntary before it could be con-
sidered as direct evidence justify
ing infliction of the death penalty.
During the trial, FBI agents
presented oral and written con-
LESSONS by Graham. Graham took
the stand in absence of the jury
to deny their truth. He said he
gave them under threats of the
FBI. He commended they threat
ened to arrest his wife for lying
and that he gave the statements
to protect her.
Graham, father of two, bit his
lower lip but otherwise showed
no emotion as Judge Mcdonald
read the death verdict. He told
reporters: I'm innocent.
"Of course, we'll appeal said
Charles S. Vigil, one of Graham's
three court-appointed lawyers.
Judge Mcdonald granted the
defense 10 days to file new trial
motion. Graham will not be for
mally heard until that motion is
heard.
Graham took out two air trip
insurance policies on his mothers
life naming him the beneficiary,
Each would have paid him S37 600.
He confessed to the FBI last
Nov. 10 that he slipped 25-sticl
dynamite time bomb into Mrs.
Kings suitcase before she left
Denver last Nov. l on a United
Air Lines plane for a trip to An
chorage, Alaska.
Forty-three other women, men
and children from IA states died
with Mrs. King when the airliner
exploded II minutes after takeoff.
Graham's 22-year-old wife broke
down and sobbed Historically for
several minutes after the verdict
was returned. She was comforted
by a neighbor.
Il can never get used to jury
coming in with the death verdict, )"

DRIVER TRAINING
LESS EXPENSIVE
THAN CRASHES

For less than half of what
highway accidents csot Illinois
in one year, all the states high
school students could be given
driver education for the next 40
years, says Prof. A. E. Florio of
the University of Illinois, who
has made a study of the relation
between accident losses and
driving problems in schools.
Prof. Florio points out that
in many states driver education
has reduced highway fatalities,
accidents, and violations involv-
ing teenagers by 40 to go per
cent. Many insurance firms low
er rates for young driver who
have completed such courses.
Though 562 of Illinois 716
public schools offer some driver
education, only $4,000 of the $780,
600 eligible students receive
complete driving courses, says
