Cop Slayer Dies Before Firing Squad
Don Jesse Neal, a 35 year old San Francisco man convicted of fatally shooting Salt Lake City police Sergeant Owen Farley, died at sunrise before Utah’s firing squad. He maintained innocence as riflemen fired five shots at about 5:00 a.m. in Point of the Mountain Utah. Foster mother Irene O Brian plans to bury Neal in Fort Thomas Kentucky under the name O Brian after raising funds to fight his case. Neal had been granted repeated stays by appeals and by the American Civil Liberties Union but was denied clemency and a new hearing by Utah authorities. He claimed Farley was killed by his companion Mrs Wilma Tully who vanished after the 1951 trial.
