Mel Carnahan rejected Alan Bannister's bid for clemency Tuesday afternoon, clearing the way for the execution of a man whose case had become a rallying point for opponents of the death penalty. Bannister died by injection at 12:05 a.m.
today, four minutes after the first of three drugs were administered at the Potosi Correction Center in southeast Missouri. Carnahan said he had carefully reviewed all of the earlier court proceedings and determined that the jury verdict and the subsequent appeals rulings had been correct. "It is my firm belief that Alan J. Bannister is guilty of first-degree murder in the death of Darrell Carnahan said in a prepared statement. The plea to the governor had been Bannister's last hope.
Earlier in the day, the U.S. Supreme Court, without dissent or comment, denied the condemned man's application for an emergency stay of execution. Bannister, 39, originally from Chillicothe, had been on death row longer than any other Missouri prisoner. He was convicted of killing Darrell Ruestman of Joplin in 1982. His case drew international notice after a 1992 documentary aired.
Celebrities such as TV star Ed Asner have championed his cause. "I had some pretty noteworthy people taking my part in this," Bannister told The Associated Press by tele- Shedd Aquarium staff awaits birth of whale Associated Press CHICAGO Whale watchers at the Shedd Aquarium are keeping a close eye on Mauyak, a beluga whale that got pregnant within months after arriving in Chicago. The Mauyak, 16, and her longtime mate, Inuk, were traded in March by the Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium in Tacoma, to the larger Shedd for Naya, an 8-year-old female beluga. If all goes well, Mauyak will produce the Shedd's first beluga calf. Veterinarians hope the new environment, in which Mauyak became pregnant almost immediately, will result in a healthy birth this summer.
In two previous pregnancies, Mauyak's calves died shortly after birth. Deaths Deaths Monday, Oct. 20, pending at See East St. Louis died Friday, Oct. 17, 1997.

Arrangements For The Last 12 "We believe this program will be a significant deterrent against undocumented workers attempting to get hired by our company," said Ken Kimbro, IBP vice president of human resources.
"However, it is not foolproof. Some people will still seek and find other ways to circumvent the system." IBP was the first meatpacking company to voluntarily participate in an agency pilot scheme called Employment Verification Pilot. It gave the company access to an agency database and electronically verified the documents of new noncitizen employees. The program has been an effective tool, but it does not verify the documents of new employees who claim to be U.S. citizens, company officials said.

Please call for holiday hours. BAILEY, Rev. Ivory Lee, 76, of Had the Grip on In 1985, the Arthritis Service of Southern Illinois was introduced at Memorial to put you in touch with professionals who can help you get a grip on your pain. For the last 12 years, this outpatient diagnostic clinic has helped a large number of residents' from all over Southwestern Illinois who suffer from musculoskeletal and joint problems. Convenience, personalized attention and experienced professionals have differentiated the Arthritis Service from other look-alikes which have come and gone since 1985.
The service includes: Your visit to the Arthritis Service includes an examination by an orthopedic surgeon and an internist. It also may include examination or consultation with a physical therapist, orthopedic nurse, occupational therapist, dietitian and social worker. X- rays and lab tests may be ordered as well.

"We participated in the trade with the intention of seeing it come to fruition," said Ken Ramirez, director of marine mammal training and husbandry at the Shedd.
"However we didn't anticipate the pregnancy so soon. It's very pleasing." Shedd officials confirmed the pregnancy with ultrasound. The aquarium trade was arranged because beluga breeding has been more successful in aquariums with more than one male in the group. It is unknown whether Inuk impregnated Mauyak this time. The other possibility is Naluark, the Shedd's longterm male resident.
Aquarium officials say it may be years to determine because they want to avoid any unnecessary medical procedures until the calf's health is well-established.

Stay phone from his cell Tuesday. "I'd certainly like to thank all the people who have taken an active interest in my case. It's actually been kind of overwhelming. It's been great to know that so many people care." Bannister was within two hours of being executed in 1994 when the Supreme Court stepped in and ordered a review of the evidence in the case. Federal courts have ruled that the conviction and sentence should stand.
Ruestman was killed Aug. 21, 1982, by a single shot to his heart after answering Bannister's knock at the front door of his mobile home. Prosecutors said a man in Peoria, hired Bannister for $4,000 and gave him the pistol to shoot Ruestman because Ruestman was living with another man's wife. Bannister admitted killing Ruestman, but contended that the gun went off accidentally during a scuffle on the porch. He said he should have been convicted of nothing worse than second- murder, which isn't punishable by death.
Earlier Tuesday, Bannister was visited by his wife, Lindsay, and other family members in his holding cell not far from the prison's execution chamber. He ordered a last meal of ribeye steak, baked potato with butter and sour cream, salad with ranch dressing and a large cola. Bannister had remained hopeful Tuesday morning, saying he believed the governor would be swayed by the facts of the case and by the attention i it had drawn.
