1901 Tramps Arrested Two tramps who gave their names as Frank Beason and William Dean were arrested last evening on a charge of sodomy. The victim of the two men was John Langenbucker a 14year old lad who lives at 557 West North Temple street
1901 William Dean Case No. 721 Third District
Judicial Court: William Dean was Charged with Crimes Against Nature. William
Dean and Frank Brown were both charged by John Langenbucher (Langenbecker) with
having sexual relations with his thirteen year old son, also named John.
Langenbucher was a German native who resided at 557 West North Temple SLC at
the time. The 1910 Census of Utah lists Langenbucher as being born in 1848
making him 53 years old at the time of the complaint. The only William Dean in
the 1900 Census of Utah was a 35 year old married family man who lived in Sugar
House. This was not the same man because the accused was a transient. On this
ninth day of April A.D. 1901, before me J.B. Timmony Justice of the Peace,
within and for City precinct, Salt Lake
County, State of Utah, personally appeared John Langenbecker who on being duly
sworn on his oath did say that the said William Dean on the 8th day of April,
A.D. 1901, at the county of Salt Lake, State of Utah, feloniously, wickedly,
and against the order of nature, had a venereal affair with said John
Langenbecker, did commit and perpetrate the detestable “Crime Against Nature”,
of Buggery, with said John Langenbecker and then and there feloniously, and
wickedly, and against the order of nature, did commit and perpetrate the
detestable “Crime Against Nature”, of buggery, with said John Langenbecker,
then and there being a male person, contrary to the provisions of the statute
of the State aforesaid, in such cases made and provided and against the peace
and dignity of the State of Utah. Signed by John Langenbucher. Subscribed and sworn to before me, the day
and year above written. J.B. Timmony. VILE CRIME IS CHARGED Two Men Accused of Committing
a Beastly Offense William Dean and Frank Beacon, two transients, were arrested
yesterday afternoon by Officer FitzMaurice on a charge of Sodomy. The victim of
their alleged crime is J. Langenbacker, a lad of fourteen years, who say the
prisoners are guilty of the crime charged against them. The arrest was made in
a box car at the Rio Grande yards, where it is said the offense was committed.
Dean and Beacon were locked up pending arraignment, (Daily Salt Lake Tribune 9
April 1901 page 8) HELD FOR TRIAL ON CHARGE OF VILENESS William Dean and Frank
Brown, the two boxcar tourists who were arrested at the Rio Grande Western
Railway yards on the charge of Sodomy were arraigned yesterday. Both pleaded
not guilty and said they desired to waive examination. The ease with which they
conducted themselves and their familiarity with the law showed plainly that
this was not their first time they had been before a court. They were allowed
to waive examination and in default of $3000 bail each were committed to the
custody of the sheriff to wait trial by District Court. (Daily Salt Lake

Against Nature”, of Buggery, with said John Langenbecker, contrary to the form
of the statute of the State aforesaid, in such cases made and provided and
against the peace and dignity of the State of Utah.” Jury Instruction-No. 2-The
infamous ““Crime Against Nature””, sometimes termed “sodomy” or “buggery”
consists in the carnal copulation, by human beings, with each other against
nature, or with a beast. -No. 3-The statute under which this information is
laid, reads as follows: “Every person who is guilty of the infamous “Crime
Against Nature”, committed with mankind or with any animal, is punishable by
imprisonment in the State prison not less than three years or more than twenty
years.” “Any sexual penetration, however slight, is sufficient to complete the
“Crime Against Nature”.”-No. 4-The burden of proof is on the State to prove all
and every of the ingredient facts which constitute the offense charged, to your
satisfaction beyond a reasonable doubt. If, therefore, you find from the
evidence given in this case, beyond a reasonable doubt, that the defendant
William Dean, on the 8th day of April, at Salt Lake City, Salt Lake County,
State of Utah, unlawfully and feloniously did make an assault in and upon one
John Langenbecker, a boy of about the age of
thirteen years, with the intent, then and there unlawfully and

Langenbeker, and then and there unlawfully and feloniously and wickedly, and against

doubt, find the defendant guilty of any offense, the commission of which is
necessarily included in that with which the defendant is charged. And in this
case, I charge you that the offense of assault with intent to commit the
“infamous “Crime Against Nature”” is necessarily included in the offense of
“infamous “Crime Against Nature”,” which is charged in the information.-No.
6-The jury are instructed that if the defendant made an attempt to copulate and
carnally know said John Langenbecker, and in such attempt did any act toward
the commission of said offense, and failed in the perpetration of said offense,
or was prevented or intercepted in executing the same, then and in that case
the jury should find the defendant guilty of an assault with intent to commit

circumstance evidence, in criminal cases, is legal and competent, and if it is
of such a character as to exclude every reasonable hypothesis other than that

What is meant by circumstantial evidence in criminal cases, is the proof of
such facts and circumstances connected with or surrounding the commission of
the offense charged as tends to show guilt or innocence of the party charged;
and if those facts and circumstances are sufficient to satisfy you of the guilt
of the defendant beyond a reasonable doubt, then such evidence is sufficient to
authorize you in finding a verdict of guilty.-No. 8-Assault is defined by the
statutes of this state, is an unlawfully attempt coupled with a person’s
ability to commit a violent injury on the person of another. Defense Attorney
Statement: “You are instructed as a matter of law that some penetration of the
rectum of the said John Langenbecker is necessary to have been proven in the
infamous “Crime Against Nature”, before you can find the defendant guilty of
the offense charged, and should you not so find so find I charge you as a
matter of law that you should return a verdict of Not Guilty.” -No 8 ½-If you
find from the evidence that the complaining witness was of such an age as to
understand the nature of the crime and consented to its commission, then it is
immaterial that he is under the age of fourteen years, and I charge you that
under such circumstances the said John Langenbucker is an accomplice. If you
find that said John Langenbucker was an accomplice, I further charge you that
if the collaborating testimony of other witnesses is not in itself sufficient
to justify you find a verdict against the defendant, that you should find the
defendant Not Guilty. Jury Verdict-30 April 1901:“We the jury impaneled in the
above case find the defendant William Dean “Guilty” of “assault with the intent
to commit the infamous crimes against nature”. J.M. Weiler foreman. GUILTY OF

- 1902 Clyde Felt May be Sent To the Reform School. The case of Samuel Collins is about to enter on its legal phase. County Attorney Christensen has prepared a Complaint in the regular form, charging Clyde Felt with murder in the second degree and Judge W. H. King has beenretained as counsel for the young prisoner. He is to be arraigned before Judge Diehl this afternoon. An obstacle that may delay the filing of the complaint is the dificulty of findng anyone who will appear as complaining witness. The revelations as to the character of Collins have filled the community with horror, and the officers who under ordinary circumstance would be perfectly willing to take oath that a crime had been committed hesitate to swear that the killing of Collins was a great crime as murder. It is pointed out that the killing of the old man by one of the grown relatives of the boy as a punishment for Collins hideous crimes would have been so nearly a justifiable homicide that there would have been no possibility of a conviction on any criminal charge. Some are inclined to take a less charitable view of the boy’s case became, it is alleged, he did not comprehend the enormity of Collln’s and was not prompted by the excusable impulse that would have inspired an older person. Judge W H King has been retained by D P felt, the father of the boy, to conduct the defense when the child is arraigned. Mr Whittemore remarked last night when asked for his opinion on the Felt case, that from the facts as given in the newspapers he would say that nothing more than manslaughter could be made out against Clyde. “The elements of murder, deliberation and premeditation, are wanting,” he said. “The boy was induced to perform the act by one who had a very strong influence over him. In my opinion the jury would be instructed to take this influence into consideration. I am absolutely sure that I would give it a great deal of weight if I were called upon to decide the degree of tho boy’s guilt. The penalty for manslaughter is from one to ten years imprisonment.” Technically perhaps young Felt could be held for murder in the second but in my opinion the case is devoid of the elements that go to constitute murder.” “The law is,” said District Attorney Eichnor, “that between the ages of 7 and 14 years the mental capacity to understand the nature of a crime must be shown to sustain conviction. Above 14 the law presumes that the offender has the capacity to commit a crime unless some evidence is offered to show that the capacity is lacking. Judge O W Powers holds that a boy is liable to be charged and convicted of murder in any decree the same as a grown person. “This case,” he says, “seems to have been a willful deliberate premeditated killing done under circumstances in which the law would imply malice. Malice is of two kinds express and implied. Express malice must show deliberate intention of unlawfully taking human life. Implied malice is where no considerable provocation appears or where the circumstances attending the killing show a malignant and abandoned heart.” Judge Dicksons says, “A boy 14 years old charged with murder is the same as a grown person in the eyes of the law. If found guilty of manslaughter, he would go to the reform school instead of the penitentiary. In view of Clyde Felt’s age I do not believe that he ought to be convicted of murder. Clyde was arraigned before Judge Diehl at 2 this afternoon on the charge of murder in the second degree. The date of his preliminary hearing will be fixed forthwith and it is regarded as probable that his attorney will put up a strong defense at the hearing as there seems to be nothing gained by delay and the boy is very anxious to leave his quarters in the county jail. yesterday he seemed more anxious and uneasy than at any time since his arrest. He seems to realize more and more the serious nature of what he did in Hell’s hollow. The gloomy weather outside had a part in putting him in this penitent frame of mind. His eyelids were red with weeping and he complained to the attendant at the jail that lhe did not feel well. Twice during the day D P Felt called upon his unhappy little son. The second time he came, he brought a new suit to replace the worn garments in which the boy was arrested. Clyde was not so depressed as to be past the appreciation of his appearance and he showed considerable pleasure in getting into the new clothing. He does not relish the attention he attracts from strangers and told his father indignantly of two persons who stood and looked in at him through the grating. “I got back here,” he said illustrating his position, “so they could not see me. Tthe jailers are very considerate of the boys feelings and do not knowingly permit any one to gaze at him for the satisfaction of their idle curiosity. They also refused to admit a number of his acquaintances who called to see him without the consent of his father. Clyde has no reason to complain of his fare. Every little dainty that the jail kitchen affords is placed before him to tempt his appetite which by the way needs little temptation. He eats as every healthy boy can eat and relishes everything from roast beef to cake. To his father, last night, he explained some of the further details of the disposition of Collins effects after the killing. He still professes ignorance of the butcher knife on the ledge above the cave but explains the finding of the pocketbook on the side of the hill. “As I came up the path Tuesday morning I found the purse in the path about where the ow man had undressed. I picked it up to see if it was worth keeping but when I found it had a hole in it I through it away without noticing particularly where it did go but I think I threw it north. Then I took off my coat and laid it on a rock while I finished building the wall. I had it built pretty near to the top when I thought I heard some one coming and hid down back of the rock a minute or two. Then I came out and ran down out of the hollow. I don’t know how one of the shoes got up on the ledge for I am sure that I set them both together by a little stump in front of the big rock that bars the entrance to the cave. I did not think about hiding them.” “Honest, pa, I don’t know anything about how the knife got there unless the old man brought it up before. He might have had it in his bundle because I did not see the bundle when he opened it. C H Woodward, the old gentleman who gave Collins 500 shares of stock worth between $50 and $100 still has confidence in the honesty of his friend. There is little doubt that Collins got the money and either spent it or kept it. The disposition of the money is somewhat of a mystery as Collins left several small bills when he went into the hills to his death. It is believed that he may have gambled the money away as he was addicted to that vice, and when under the influence of his favorite drug would talk of winning and losing money on cards. Clyde Felt says he does not remember seeing the old man in possession of any considerable sum at any time. Ogden Standard 1902-04-08

With Mr. Wallace and his attorney pressing them hard, the police were
finally forced to admit the truth about the matter: "Salt Lake City police officers admitted
Thursday that the accidental wounding of an undercover officer occurred during
surveillance of Mormon dissident Douglas A. Wallace.... "Reports released Thursday by both the
county sheriff's office and the county attorney show that six officers were on stakeout around the John W.
Fitzgerald home...where Mr. Wallace was staying. "The lawmen were paired up in three
police vehicles and two of those were parked close together in opposite directions..."

1989 I went to bed about 2:30 a.m. this morning after calling Mark LaMarr, and Dean Shute, Darrell’s former house keeper who had moved to California. This morning I woke up at 6:30 and could not get back to sleep. Darrell’s sweet smiling face kept beaming at me. About 7:30 I started calling people because I wanted people to hear about it first before reading about it in the papers. That’s what a family does. I called the remaining officers of Unconditional Support, Alan Peterson, Mike Casey, Randy Olsen, and Rocky O’Donovan of the Historical Society. That was really hard for me to do but I wanted them to know about it immediately. Mike and Alan seemed to take the news very hard and broke down over the phone. Wish I could have told them in person. Dean later called me from California and said how grateful he was that I called him and said he knew that if anyone was ever to call him, he knew I’d be the one who would be that thoughtful. Thoughtful or not, its common decency to let people know about tragedy concerning people they have known and loved. Dean and Rich are making arrangements to come back to Utah for the funeral. The viewing will be Monday six to eight and the graveside service will be Tuesday. How ironic. Last Tuesday at Unconditional Support Darrell was alive and full of laughter and fun and now he will be buried this Tuesday. I tried calling John Reeves in Boston this morning but he’s probably at work. There was a small blurb in the local section of the Tribune about the murder. It didn’t mention Darrell’s name. I wasn’t sure all day whether I was going to attend Affirmation’s dance tonight; but after remembering what Darrell said about supporting it, I decided to go. As I was walking over to catch a bus to the Unitarian Church I saw Doug Fenstermacher in the parking lot of Burger King with his limo. He offered me a ride up to the dance in the limo and he wanted me to ride in the back but I said certainly not. I am no celebrity. I wanted to sit with him and visit in the front where I gave him a little neck massage and a hug. When I stepped out of the limo at the church, I kissed Doug goodbye and Chuck Thomas and Dave Malmstrom were out front, who had come to the Affirmation dance in a limo! They looked so shocked when I stepped out and they asked me, “How do you rate?” Malmstrom teased and said “I’ve heard you were good but not that good!” and I simply replied, “Well I am!”. The dance was fun but there was a small turn out. I only stayed until 10:30 myself, about an hour. I danced some not to be a wet blanket but my heart wasn’t in it. I think Rick Eden, Jim Hunsaker, Derek Streeter, and myself were the only ones from Unconditional Support. The rest were too upset over Darrell. His death has cast a real pall over our little community. When Derek left I got a ride home with him. At home I just stayed up watching Saturday Night Live and taking phone calls from people as they heard the news and wanted someone to talk with. I’m so glad I made arrangements to take Monday, my birthday, off from work. {Journal of Ben Williams]

2003 Chad Keller to Royal Court Subject:
Rainbow Fund Dear Bob, [Childer] Wow! Coronation is almost here. The 27th Reign
is to be commended for exceeding the expectations of the community, and
importantly raising the standard. Each
year it amazes me of the many works that the RCGSE does to better our
community. It will definitely be one for
the history books. I write to you today on behalf of the Utah Stonewall
Historical Society. In October the Utah Stonewall Historical Society will join
with other national Lambda history groups around the nation to host National
Gay and Lesbian History Month. We would like to make application
for funding from the RCGSE from this fund or other disbursement alternative. The RCGSE will be considered a Founding
Sponsor for the 2003 USHS Conference. The Utah Stonewall Historical Society is
established to promote the recovery, preservation and understanding of the
history of the Lambda people. Our history is best served by preserving the
records and cultural artifacts of our people and our events and by recording
our observations. The USHS is dedicated to preserving and interpreting all of
these as part of an important historical record and legacy to the state of Utah.
Our primary focus is on Lesbian and Gay history and culture along the Wasatch
Front in Utah. We are an all-volunteer and nonprofit organization governed by a
volunteer Board of Directors. We are
also interested in partnering with the Court to insure that the history of our
community is talked about and reflected upon as much of the history of the
community is also part of the RCGSE's history.
It principals of excellence and standards can be seen in our communities
many organizations that the court influenced from its inception. I know as we have looked to find board
members the first place we looked was the RCGSE. We would be honored to receive assistance
from the Court for this mile marker of our community. Also as part of the conference we are in the process
of designing a special event, Coffee, Conversation & Community, which would
focus on the collective stories of our community through the eyes of the RCGSE
College of Monarchs. Final details and
presentation are still in the works, but this event would be a special one time
recorded interview featuring as many past monarch's that are willing to
participate and insure our history. Please let me or Ben Williams know what the
application process is. We will be happy
to meet with you and the Board of the RCGSE to discuss the Conference. Sincerely, Chad Keller co-Chair, Curator Utah Stonewall Historical
Society
2003 Chad Kelller to Charles Milne - Subject:
Kiosks Charles, I have not heard from you regarding the topics that you would
like discussed on the History kiosks for Pride Day. USHS is happy to move forward, but we need to
get to Ben the possible subjects for each of the 36 Panels. The clock is ticking for us, and we would
like to have information prepared, and panels designed and printed by May 31,
2003. As you are aware, due to USHS sponsorship agreements, advertising on the
kiosks for people other than USHS Sponsors was to be limited. I have several inexpensive options for you
for Pride Sponsors and Stage line ups, which will help you meet the obligations
of the Pride Sponsor, and us keep our arrangements. Please let us know what's
up, or call me and we can discuss the list of possible subjects. I will send to you a word document today with
the tentative subjects ones I have come up with that I think Ben will have
information on. Missed you at LGSU last
night. Thanks! CK USHS

2009 Sandy to study adult dependent benefits This suburb could follow the lead of Salt Lake City and Salt Lake County
and be Utah's next local government to extend health benefits to their
employees' adult financial dependents. The Sandy City Council this week
directed staff to research adult-designee benefits and report back in late June
or early July. In the capital and Salt
Lake County, employees who live with a domestic partner or another dependent
relative, such as an aging parent.
