LLOYD HAMMOND'S
APPEAL DEFERRED
State Parole Board Tables
Application of Man
Serving 25 Years
OPPOSITION SHOWN
Lloyd Hammond's appeal for a
parole from the Nebraska state
penitentiary was deferred Tues
day by the state parole board in
session in Lincoln.
Hammond, 38, of Bloomfield, is
serving a 25-year term on a sec
cnd-degree murder charge in con
nection with the slaying of Fred
J, Sexsmith, of O'Neill, on No
vember 20, 1932. Fred Mackey
is serving a life sentence in con
nection with the same incident,
which occurred north of the city.
The late Judge R. R. Dickson
sentenced Hammond on Decern
ber 8, 1932.
Gov. Val Peterson presided at
the board of pardons session.
It was at the same hearing that
the governor was quoted as say
ing he had no probe in mind but
was “fishing” for infoimation in
questioning several candidates for
paroles.
Helped Board Members
Hammond testiiied that he had
a lesser role in the recent flare
up regarding the deposed state
board of control. He said at his
hearing that as a trustee on Mon
days he cleaned house for one
former member of the board, on
Tuesdays he performed in the
home of the second member, and
on Wednesdays he performed do
mestic duty for the third mem
ber.
Mrs. John Davidson, of O’Neill
daughter of the slain Mr. Sex
smith, was present to protest
clemency. She said upon her re
turn that no one was present to
testify in behalf of the prisoner
and there had been no demonstra
tion in his behalf since 1943.
The board of pardons did not
deny or did not grant Hammond’s
application, but simply tabled the
matter until a later date.
Lie Detector Suggested
The question at' ;.s to wheth
er a lie detector would be effec
tive in connection with an inci
dent that occurred 15 years ago,
The acting warden of the prison,
Fred Dickson, doubted if it would
be a reliable test on Hammond.
L. G. Gillespie, of O’Neill, pre
sented a petition on behalf of
more than 500 signers making a
general protest opposing Ham
mond’s appeal.
