Father seeks forgiveness as awaits execution reprieve
In Austin on July 31, Joe Shield 37 of Brown County faced the electric chair for the murders of his wife and her parents. He pleaded for another chance to win forgiveness from his two daughters but received no reply before Governor Sterling granted a 15 day stay. Shield, moved by the plea, showed stunned relief as wardens relayed the reprieve and he spoke with the prison chaplain about the stay. His daughters were last known to be with an aunt in Alamogordo New Mexico.
