Preacher Faces Hanging as Clemency Sought in Des Moines
Des Moines September 9 Intervention of executive clemency may prevent the execution of Eugene Weeks, condemned for murder of George Fosdick, a Des Moines grocer. Winifred E Robb, a minister and former Rainbow division chaplain, faces a possible death sentence and would be the first clergyman to oversee such a plea amid political and religious debates. Sheriff Robb, a former pastor, notes the law assigns the hanging to the county sheriff, while expressing belief in capital punishment and citing biblical rulings. Robb resigned his church post to avoid church embarrassment during his term as Polk County sheriff, a tenure marked by his wartime heroism and ongoing controversy over the Weeks case.
