Pearson seeks court aid to appeal death sentence
Fort Collins attorney Thomas Y. Bradshaw asked the district court to order a transcript of the trial record and evidence at county expense so Clyde B. Pearson can appeal his death penalty for the sheriff slaying. Judge Graham said a ruling would come next week as execution looms the week of October 15. Pearson’s mother, Mrs. Pearson of Coffeyville Kansas, has traveled west to plead for clemency and fund the appeal amid mounting costs. She cites Cornelius Grey, who received life imprisonment, as justification for commuting Pearson’s sentence.
