. PEETE. SENT
TO GAS CHAMBER,
ASKS FOR LIGHT
Los Angeles, June 2 (U.R)
Just so there Is a "ray of light
in my cell, I will be happy," 63-year-old
Mrs. Louise Peete said
tonight as she faced, unruffled, a
sentence of death in San Quen
tin prison's gas chamber.
In 1920, the motherly-looking
woman was convicted and sen
tenced to life imprisonment for
slaying Jacob C. Denton, whom
she served as housekeeper. Yes
terday the paroled murderess
was doomed to death following
her conviction this week of the
bludgeon-shooting of her bene
factress, Mrs. Margaret Logan,
67, who helped Mrs. Peete get a
parole in the Denton case and
later hired her as housekeeper.
Mrs. Peete will be taken next
week to Tehachapl Women's
Prison . to await the State Su
preme Court's review of her sen
tence, expected to take irom
nine months to a year. At Teha
chapl she will renew old friend
ships made when she served part
of her IB years imprisonment
for the Denton murder before
being paroled.
"If there is no sunshine, l
will sing songs, write poems and
read books, fill my time with
something worth while," Mrs.
Peete said cheerfully as she con
templated the time to be spent at
TehachBDl.' "I will live at least
nine months or another year, and
after that it doesn't matter."
First Direct Word
From Dave Osborn
For the first time since before
Pearl Harbor, Mrs. Dave Osborn
has heard from her husband
who was taken prisoner by the
Japanese when Wake' Island fell
to the enemy Dec. 24, 1941. A
message signed by Osborn and
received last week states that
he is a prisoner at KuKuoka
camp on the Japanese mainland,
that he was well and hoped to
be home soon.
Mrs. Osborn, who resides in
the Griffin Creek district, was
Sunday, June 3, 194S
MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE SEVIW
informed by the navy two years
ago that her husband was a
prisoner, but no direct word had
been received from Osborn. He
was a civilian employe of the
navy when Wake Island fell.
Mrs. Osborn makes her home
with her parents, Mr. and Mrs.
William Fugere. Osborn's par
ents live in Portland.
