Harvey Cairnett's Sentence to Death
Harvey Cairnett was sentenced to death for the rape and murder of 57-year-old Laura Showalter. He won a new trial in 1951 on the grounds that his confession had been improperly obtained. An officer interrogating Cairignan, as we said told him he could not, would not be executed if he confessed to the crime. The hanging will take place March 3rd between 6 and 8 a.m. at an Alaska jail.
