Since many people wish to know
more of the facts concerning the
Duane Pope case, we present
the following summary. We hope
that It will motivate you to sign
the petition now In circulation,
Duane Pope Is a painfully shy,
22 year old farm boy from Rox-
bury, Kansas. Beside his name
in his high school annual are 17
lines of type listing his activities.
His college roommate, Nick
Petruccl, states that the local
people admired Pope very much
and used him as a model for
their children.
pope’s home Is a 320 acre
farm which supplies only the
most meager living. It seems
to be his only true source of
happiness and security. The
house has electricity but no
plumbing. On returning to school
after a weekend at home, his

In light of this first victory
(now equaling the basketball team
in number of wins), a bit of
criticism might sound Inappro
priate, but the grapplers team
style Is definitely defensive, a
generally acknowledged poor
style for any contact sport,
A number of Olympic wrest,
lers, when asked their secret
to winning, attributed their
success to their aggressive style,
to their desire for contact, and
to their constant work toward
a pin.

feated heavy weight, not a sin.
gle grappler got a pin. A num.
ber came close, but couldn’t
finish off their man. The one
sign of aggressiveness In a wrest,
ler, and the Knights could well
use it, is the pin. Pins help
more than anything else to win
a match. They count more
numberically, they boost the
morale of a team, and they show
the finesse and polish of a team.
The pin Is a vital necessity to
the Knights, and had better be
mastered before the match this

On June 4, 1965, at 11;15 a,m..
Pope’s tensions found expres
sion. The result was the rob
bery of the Farmer’s State Bank
in Big Springs, Nebraska, and
the brutal murder of 3 employees.
Pope did not need or want money.
Even now he does not really
know why he did it. “I wanted
to run out of the bank,” he
said, “but I just couldn’t. I had
to shoot the others,”
The defense, composed of At
torney Robert Crosby, former
governor of Nebraska, Wallace
Rudolph, a professor at the state
university; and Dr. Herbert Mod-

at the Mennlnger Clinic In To

did not have the capacity to con
trol his behavior and choose be

action,” The prosecution scoffed
this and demanded death. The
jury had to decide whether Pope
was to be electrocuted or given
a prison term.
