Crowley Held Two More Days In Tokyo Slaying Case
Tokyo District Court granted a two day extension for police to hold Joseph P. Crowley on suspicion of fatally beating T. A. D. Jones Jr. Jones, head of a New Haven fuel oil firm and Crowley’s brother in law, was found with cerebral hemorrhage injuries in a Tokyo hotel suite on May 8 after a May 5 trip to buy an oil tank ship. Prosecutors asked for three more days to complete the case as they pursue possible indictments. Crowley, 48, has denied the arrest as fantastic and has hired new counsel in addition to his existing Japanese representation. Kissinger, a Maryland accountant who advised Jones’ firm, was cleared but remains a witness in the investigation.

Man Dies Unmoved On Gallows In Utah
Barton Kay Kirkham died at dawn on the Utah gallows after a two year imprisonment for a grocery store holdup murder. He reportedly asked God for forgiveness, maintained no remorse, and faced the end calmly. He was 21 and the first hanged in Utah since 1912. Kirkham had killed clerk David Frame and wounded another, Ruth Webster, though only Frame’s killing led to conviction. He chose the noose over life in a mental hospital, saying it would bring publicity and avoid inconvenience to the state. He shared final moments with his parents and accepted a final meal of pizza and ice cream.
