Mercy denied for Austrian killer Berek in Lackawanna
The Supreme Court refused to overturn the Lackawanna county murder verdict against Frank Bezek known as Bernek. The condemned man awaits mercy from the governor or board of pardons as his execution looms. The trial traced Bezek’s motive and crime at Olyphant and Mayfield in 1890, with a verdict of first degree murder after a lengthy defense raising hereditary insanity. He faces the gallows in Lackawanna county.
