Dying bandit recalls prayer taught by mother
In Los Angeles seven men playing cards at a home table witnessed a masked bandit shoot and die after muttering Gentle Jesus as he fell. The killed boy was Franklin John Morrison, seventeen, son of F C Morrison, a realty company manager, lined up with a devout upbringing near Loyola College. The shooting was carried out by Ernest Verdin, Jesse Hunter and others, with Verdin firing the fatal shots. Morrison’s mother believes the dying prayer earned forgiveness and offers comfort amid modern life’s challenges.
