DiSalle Deluged With Mail Over Klumpp Clemency

Governor Michael V. DiSalle said he received heavy mail on clemency for Cincinnati slayer Mrs Edythe Klumpp after commuting her death sentence to life in prison following a truth serum test. He noted letters for and against were roughly equal, with opponents calling some letters vicious and nasty. He cited a Warren County Bar Association censure vote over the serum use and his remarks on the Bergen case, sending them his 13 page explanation of the clemency decision.
