In this photo taken, Dec. 7, 1963, T. Eugene Thompson waits in the prison reception room for the processing of his internment in Stillwater State Prison in Bayport, Minn.  Thomson — a lawyer convicted in one of Minnesota's most notorious murder cases — died on his 88th birthday on Aug. 7 at his home in Roseville, Minn., apparently of natural causes, his son District Judge Jeffrey Thompson, confirmed Wednesday, Sept. 2, 2015. Thompson was a successful St. Paul attorney who was convicted of hiring a hit man in 1963 to kill his 34-year-old wife, Carol Thompson, the mother of their four children, so he could collect more than $1 million in life insurance and be free to carry on an affair with his mistress.
