    hh and you guys got it..Walter Dipley, infamous murderer of Stanley Ketchel.
    In 1934 when Dipley was pardoned, there was fear that surviving friends of Ketchel
    would avenge Stanley's murder, but it didn't happen.The murderer Dipley lived to 1956.
    I suppose time softens all wounds !

    heart judge....
