ROYSTON (perhaps sometimes known as Herbert ROYSTON), from California, was charged with a robbery and murder in Lamar, Prowers County, CO, convicted, and subsequently executed. There are articles in the San Francisco papers. They are dated beginning in August, 1929, with the trial and sentencing in October. The execution was covered in the July 20, 1930 edition of the S.F. Chronicle. My queries: Are there any local newspaper or court accounts available from Lamar? Where would the execution have taken place?
