Life imprisonment urged for Noorlander brothers in Idaho murder
After a nine day trial in Inkom, Idaho, Fred and Mike Noorlander were found guilty of first degree murder in the killing of Walter Scadden. The jury recommended life imprisonment. Judge O R Baum would pronounce sentence Saturday at 10 in the morning. The case drew local interest for the teens' alleged car thefts and burglaries leading to the slaying, with Sheriff Henderson and deputies involved in the rapid arrest and a confession obtained from one brother. The courtroom scenes showed intense emotion from family members and Scadden’s sister Martha, while prosecutors H J Swanson and Roy L Black pursued the case zealously. The public attendance was large during the trial, though verdict day drew a smaller crowd.
