Supreme Court delays death penalty ruling for Fowler case
The high court postponed a decision on the constitutionality of capital punishment, sending Jesse Thurman Fowler's case back for re argument in the 1975 76 term. Fowler, condemned in North Carolina for killing a former roommate after a July 1973 dice game dispute, is among 283 on death row across 24 states. The court last ruled in 1972 that capital punishment as then administered was unconstitutional for excessive judge and jury discretion.

Firefighters used smoke, water curtain and two units to vent the toxic, nonflammable gas, with help from employee Jim Wayne.
