Va lle s death sentence commuted to life imprisonment
Arnibito Valles, a 21 year old Mexican, awaiting execution for the murder of El Paso patrolman Barigne Rivera, had his death sentence commuted to life in prison by the warden after midnight. The governor had previously refused to interfere, and the board of pardons had acted adversely on his commutation request. Valles had pleaded innocence in a late bid to spare his life.
