Intervention of Governor
,.Swanson Only Hope of
' Leo C. Thurraan.
(UulUd FrtM Leased Wirt.)
Norfolk, Va., March 7,--Unleas Gov
ernor Swanson Interfere with the sen
tence, which la not considered likely,
tomorrow will be the last Sunday on
earth for Leo C. Thurman. who la to
be hanged here next Friday for the mur
der, of hla roommate, Walter P. Dolsen,
more than two years ago. The con
victed man, who is not yet SO years old,
seem a resigned to his Tate and Is said
to have made full confeialon of his
crime.
Both the murderer and his victim
were mariners In the United States
service and bad been discharged a short
time previous to the crime. Imlsen was
fn route to his home In Michigan, when
he picked up with Thurman. The two
young men became frlenda and together
tney secured looting In an Kasi Main
street boarding-house in this city.
Thurman was practically penniless,
while Do) sen had about $400, which he
had saved from his pay In the marine
corps.
while Dolsen slept one night Thur
man chopped the defenseless man to
pletoa with an ax, robbed him, packed
.the body in a trunk and tied a, lag on
It for shipment to Edenton, North Caro
lina. ' Tne crime was aincovereo aimosi
Immediately, but not before Thurman
had eluded the police and left the city.
He went south and After wandering
across the continent he Anally located
In Vancouver, B. C, where he waa cap
tured. The paaalng of bad cbecka,
, which was an old practice of his,
proved his undoing, lie waa arreated as
a result of a check traniiactlon, and
when taken to police headquarters in
Vancouver a detective with a good mem
ory for faces recognised 1(1 the prisoner
the man who was wanted for murder
In this city. Thurman, after the mur
der of Dolsen. had traveled under the
iname of Gould. The police of this city
'verified the description of the prisoner,
and a hat which he wore Dearing tne
name of a Norfolk hatter completed
'the identification.
Detectives of the Norfolk department
were at once sent to British Columbia
to bring back the prisoner. A trip of
alx days across the continent and the
much-hunted man was landed behind
prison bars, almost two years after the
murder had been committed.
A speedy trial, with a verdict of mur
der in the first degree, and the last
chapter in a career that waa punctured
by many misdeeds was compjeiea.
Tnurman was never placed on the
stand. Hla attorneys argued that If
-their client killed Dolsen he was Insane
at the time. There was not a witness
for the defense, except to try to prove
that Thurman had been considered part-
Jy insane at times.
..Tnurman was doto in wesi i-omi,
Kentucky, and in his youth was a news
boy in Cincinnati and several other Ohio
cities. Frlor to enlisting in me marine
corps he had been In several scrapes of
a more or less serious nature. After
his arrest on the murder charge his
famllv aave him what aid they could.
A brother came from Kentucky, and a
lawyer came with him to assist In the
defense. It did not take the jury but
a few minutes, however, to arrive at a
verdict of guilty. The first trial took
place last summer, and Thurman was
sentenced to hang the latter part of
September. An appeal to the supreme
court resulted in a stay. The higher
court declined to interfere In the case,
whereupon the young man was sen
tenced to pay the death penalty on Fri
day, me thirteenth day of March.
