Midland Murder Case Delays Execution Date Set
A hearing to set an execution date for James Lee Marion, sentenced to die in the electric chair for the 1964 Midland murder of Mrs. J. Fred Turner, was postponed until Friday. Judge William R. Shaver said Marion’s Odessa attorney Warren Burnett was tied up in El Paso, delaying the 2:30 p.m. hearing. Marion has had prior stays and may again seek one under a new Supreme Court ruling, with Benny Longoria's Texas case looming as the first test of the ruling if a stay is denied.
