High Court Upholds Sheppard Conviction Plea Is Denied By Ohio Supreme Court COLUMBUS, Ohio (UP) — Defense attorneys for Dr. Samuel H. Sheppard today considered taking .-to? the U.S. supreme court their appeal from the osteopath’s life Sentence for the slaying of his Wife. -- ? - ’ The Ohio supreme court, in a 5-2 decision late Thursday; upheld Sheppard's conviction tor the bludgeon-slaying of his wife Marilyn. The case was a nationwide sensation in late 1954 when the 31-year-old Bay Village, Ohio, man was brought to trial. Thp prosecution c'ainied that Sheppard viciously killed his wife with more than 30 blows from a blupt instrument. The state also presented testimony alleging that the handsdme suburban Cleveland doctor had affairs with other women. Sheppard was convicted in December, 1954, and sentenced to life imprisonment. He entered Ohio penitentiary last summer after preliminary appeals to wiq a new trial or freedom failed. Under Ohio law s Sheppard is not eligible for a parole until he serves at least 10 years of the life sentence given to him for second degree murder. Dr. Richard Sheppard, brother of Dr. Sam, made a statement for the family today. “We feel as we always have that a grave injustice has been done, and individual rights as guaranteed by the constitution are apparently in greater jeopardy than many American citizens realize,”, he said. in its decis ion, the Ohio 1 supreme court held that the jury i had a “duty t<j_convlct” Sheppard if there was no “reasonable hypothesis of innocense" based on the facts as the jurors found them. The court declined to “retry issues of fact.” Church Redecorated By Volunteer Group A group of volunteers redcorated the main auditorium, vestibule and basement stairwaj- at the Pleasant Valley Wes'eyan Methodist church on Memorial Day.
