Description

The opinion of the court was delivered by On September 26, 1952, the county attorney of Johnson county
filed with the clerk of the district court of that county an
information which in appropriate language charged Charles Wilford
Isgrigg and Merle William Martin with four felonies in separate
counts committed on or about the 23rd day of June, 1952. The
first count charged first degree murder of Willard Carver,
[175 Kan. 374]
a deputy sheriff of Johnson county; the second count charged
assault with intent to kill of Floyd Gaunt, another deputy
sheriff; the third count charged the burglary of the Moss Davis
home at 98th and Mission Road, Overland Park in Johnson county;
and the fourth count charged the larceny of personal property of
the value of more than $20 from the Moss Davis home. Isgrigg was
taken into custody the next day after the offenses were alleged
to have been committed, and Martin was taken into custody on or
about August 31, 1952. Both were in the custody of the sheriff of
Johnson county. A severance of the trial was requested and

two weeks. The jury found the defendant Martin guilty on all
counts and on the first count fixed his punishment at death. His

and overruled and he was sentenced to death upon the verdict of
guilty of the first count of the information. He was also
sentenced to terms of years of imprisonment upon the verdicts of
guilty of the second, third and fourth counts, which sentences
were not to be served or begin to run excepting in the event the
sentence on the first count was not carried out. The defendant
