Convicted Slayer's Fate in Balance As Peabody Strives To Save Him

Boston AP. Gov. Endicott Peabody promised to explore every angle to save convicted killer John J. Kerrigan from the electric chair. The Executive Council, 6-3, upheld Kerrigan's death sentence for the slaying of Cambridge patrolman Lawrence Garman. Kerrigan, 44, with 38 prior convictions, faces execution in two weeks on Walpole State Prison's death row. The vote followed recent police killings that influenced the council. Peabody, who had supported commutation, can seek a new commutation or another respite. Kerrigan was convicted in 1961 for the 1960 killing. The petition came as Malden officer Edward Callahan's funeral was held and after Boston officer James O'Leary was killed in a holdup.
