Allen Will Hang For a Murder in Lewis and Clarke County
The Montana Supreme Court refused a new trial for Joseph Allen convicted of first degree murder and sentenced to hang. The ruling upholds the verdict as sufficient by evidence despite claims of trial errors. The opinion notes Allen killed Reynolds while he lay asleep after an argument over a pay dispute. The court also dismissed a separate appeal concerning a $5 hack license case in Butte and affirmed other lower court decisions, while preparing for July Fourth capitol celebrations.
