Killer Asks For
Forgiveness At
Last Instant
POINT OF THE MOUNTAIN,
Utah, UP) — Barton Kay Kirkham,
who scorned religion and family,
asked God to forgive him Sat
urday an instant before he died
! in the hangman’s noose.
His last words were the first
of remorse he had uttered pub
licly since he was condemned to
die for the murder of grocery
clerk David Frame, 50.
But otherwise, the 21-year-old
Kirkham lived to the end the
hard-case reputation he strived
so carefully to build during two
years of imprisonment.
“I’ve asked God to forgive
me,’’ Kirkham told sheriff George
Beckstead through the black
hood that shrouded his head and
shoulders. Then as Beckstead
stepped back, a lever was pulled
and Kirkham plunged six feet
through a trap door of the 11
foot pine board gallow.
Kirkham declined to ask for
religious comfort during his final
hurs. He scoffed at suggestions
that he should be remorseful for
the slaying of Frame and Mrs.
I Ruth Webster, 38, during a hold
up Aug. M, 1956. Kirkham saw
a movie with his parents, ate
pizza and ice cream and bade
them farewell just before mid
night. Then with an audience of
prison guards, chaplains and oc
casional news men, he spent the
night jovially playing classical
piano music and cracking maca
bre jokes about his impending
execution.
