...Salt Lake City one dawn last week, hooded and clutching a crucifix after a last-minute shift from Mormonism to Roman Catholicism, Delbert Green was led out into a dirt courtyard, strapped in a chair against a wall. A physician pressed a stethoscope to his heart, then pinned a red target with a yellow bulls-eye over it. Green's executioners stood 26 ft. away across the court, their guns, of which one contained a blank cartridge, poked through slits in the screen that hid their identity.
