Reflections for Correctional Officer James Milton Holman

 

Officer Holman,
I would just like to say thank you to you and your fellow CO for your service and sacrifice for the citizens of the state of Oregon. It took another three years, but your murderers finally got the justice that they deserved.

James Milton Holman was my grandfather, whom I never knew. After he was murdered, my father, Robley Milton Holman, had to drop out of high school at age 16 to support the family.

My grandmother, Myrtle Holman, told me that her last conversation with my grandfather before he went to work was about dinner. His last words to her were "Be sure to make plenty of gravy." She never spoke to him again.

After the escaped convicts were captured, tried, and sentenced to death, the governor of the state of Oregon heard that my grandmother wanted clemency for them. She had a meeting with the governor. He asked her what her wishes were. Grandma Holman said "Hang 'em." And they did.
