Convicted murderer Louis Pellagi of Avendon, slated for execution next Tuesday in the county jail, continues a vow of silence. Sheriff George H. Jeffries reports large crowds seeking admission are mostly denied, with only the jury and a few witnesses present. Pellagi's wife recently bid farewell without recognition, and observers debate whether silence is deliberate defiance or a broken spirit.
