Clarence Ray Allen's execution attracted a lot less attention -- I suppose because there was nothing Nobel about him. The local paper treatments of the execution are rather instructive: the Los Angeles Times put the headline, on the fold, "Murderer Exhausts His Pleas for Mercy," while the local Ventura County Star puts it below the fold, headlined "With appeals over, Allen is executed by lethal injection," capitalization as in the originals.

They're expecting to execute Allen's accomplice Billy Ray Hamilton, paid by Allen to murder no less than eight witnesses to Allen's crimes. He got one on this list, murdered three other people too, and was caught with seven to go.
