Milton A Grissom: Murder 2nd Degree

Milton A Grissom was born about 1864 in Missouri. 








Inmate #6879 New Mexico State Prison
Rec: 1 Apr 1931
Crime: Murder 2nd Degree
Term: 39 to 47 Years
Age: 67
















His case went to the Supreme Court, I found these documents.














His sentence was commuted to Life because of his age. 


Milton was married to Ivy and they had two children. He was a dentist so I am unsure why they were giving a 17 year old girl an abortion.Lillia Morris was born Lyda Lillian Morris on 30 July 1930 and died 19 Jan 1930 in Ruidoso, NM She has a Memorial on Find A Grave #10275323. 

She must of been so scared, getting pregnant and not wanting to upset her parents she took an alternative route so many women have taken and not survived. I could not even imagine how her parents reacted when they were told she was dead. So sad.
