MURDER ON MONTANA'S HI-LINE

Clarence Pellet was murdered after he offered a teenage hitchhiker a ride during a spring blizzard in 1951. The teen, Frank Dryman, twice sentenced to hang, escaped the noose and was paroled into the custody of his brother after serving thirteen years of a life sentence. Eighteen months later, he vanished, hiding in plain sight for 40 years. Illus.
