Invitations Issued for Faltin Hanging in Florence
Special to Prospector Florence Nov 26 Warden Sims refused to carry out the execution of murderer Wm Faltin after all methods to save his neck. Black bordered invitations for the hanging between 1 and 4 pm Friday were received from Warden Sims. Struckmeyer says Beckton testified Faltin confessed to killing Carl Pierson. Struckmeyer says no confession. Attorney General says Beckton testimony could be eliminated and the case still warrants action. An insanity plea may be attempted but seems unlikely. Strickmeyer appeals to Arizona residents to protest to the board of pardons and paroles.
