Murder Suspect Denied Acquittal in Idaho 1951 Bar Killing
Fifth District Judge Ezra P. Monson rejected a defense bid to acquit Clyde Gish in a 1951 Atomic City bar killing. The trial saw courtroom recesses as the state contends Gish shot Edward McEvoy on December 29, 1951, while the defendant claims he is not Gish. A deposition from Alvin Zimmerman was challenged and two women named Mrs Kings attended. The jurors were briefly removed as arguments halted proceedings. The case centers on identifying the suspect and proving murder beyond a reasonable doubt.
