Scope and Contents

Typed originals and carbons with revisions, and some handwritten material on the execution of John W. Deering at the Utah State Penitentary. Some of the material is a fictionalized account of the events at the prison on the eve of the execution and the execution itself, the rest is material used for news stories written by McDougall for the Salt Lake Telegram. The material was gathered for Ross Worthington to use as the basis for a script about Deering. A coverletter to that effect is included.
