"LAST APPEAL DENIED BY STATE PATROL BOARD"

CONVICTED KILLED HEARS FIFTH DEATH SENTENCE FROM JUDGE

Salt Lake City (JFK+50) Imagine hearing a judge sentence you to death, not once but five times.  That happened to Ralph W. Seyboldt of Columbus, Ohio who was sentenced yesterday for killing a police officer.

Judge M. L. Ritchie "fixed the date" for his execution as January 15, 1926.  Seyboldt was sentenced for the first time on April 5, 1924.

Associated Press reports that there had been "frequent appeals" which have delayed the execution.  The last appeal was denied by the State Parole Board last week.

JFK+50 NOTE

Patrolman David H. Crowther's body was found near the Jordan River west of Salt Lake City on Oct 12 1923 & Seyboldt was arrested in California.  He was given a choice of the method of execution, hanging or shooting.  He always chose shooting.

"I WANT AMERICA TO HAVE A SPIRITUAL IDEAL"

PRESIDENT TO VISIT ZION PARK IN SW UTAH

Salt Lake City, Utah (JFK+50) On June 27, 1923, President Warren G. Harding was on his way to visit Zion Park* in southwest Utah.  The President's "special train" left here in Salt Lake City before midnight and is scheduled to enter the park at Cedar City.

Before departure, President Harding spoke at the 12,000 seat Mormon Tabernacle where he discussed the topics of taxation and U.S. entry into the Permanent Court of International Justice.

On the latter, the President said...

"I want America to have something of a spiritual ideal...to play her part in helping...abolish war."

*Zion National Park, located near Springdale in Southwestern Utah, was established in 1919 & has more than 3.5 million visitors annually.  The Park includes mountains, canyons, buttes, mesas & rivers.

"PARTY STANDS FOR ELIMINATION OF STATE GOVERNMENTS"

CONNECTICUT COUPLE ASK NAMES TO BE PUT ON UTAH BALLOTS FOR 1924 PRESIDENTIAL TICKET

Salt Lake City, Utah (JFK+50) On May 21, 1923, The Alaska Daily Empire reports that a Mr. and Mrs. David S. Beach of Bridgeport, Connecticut have sent a letter to Utah state authorities stating that they plan to run for President and Vice-President of the United States in the Election of 1924.

The couple say they represent the "People's National Independent Corporation Ticket," and request their names be added to 1924 election ballots in Utah.

The Daily Empire reports that the PNIC stands for elimination of "all state governments" and the establishment of only one "central" government.

Mr. Beach has even gone so far as naming his prospective cabinet.
