	Miss Peggy Norman, 21-years-old, had recently left Kentworth and returned to the affections of Hansen, after two years. Prior to that, Kentworth and Norman had lived together as husband and wife at the LaVelle Hotel (284 Third Street), although they were not married. After a Tuesday night fight, that turned out to be his final career bout, Hansen had gone to a party, where he met Norman. The two returned to the LaVelle Hotel. Kentworth, too, returned to the hotel and knocked on the door. Hansen, visiting with both Miss Norman and Mr. R.J. Stow, let Kentworth in. Despite Hansen's caution to Kentworth ("Don't be a fool. You don't want to commit murder."), he was shot and killed.		Miss Peggy Norman, 21-years-old, had recently left Kentworth and returned to the affections of Hansen, after two years.

	Kentworth fled, a warrant for his arrest was issued, and he was located the next day eating lunch in a Klamath Falls restaurant. He was taken into custody at gunpoint by 70-year-old deputy sheriff Sam Walker without any struggle. Kentworth was charged with first-degree murder.

He was taken into custody at gunpoint by 70-year-old deputy sheriff Sam Walker without any struggle. Kentworth was charged with first-degree murder.

			On July 2, 1932, Kentworth plead guilty to manslaughter, after the judge allowed a withdrawal of the "Not Guilty" plea to the first-degree murder charges. Kentworth was sentenced to 15 years in prison. His defense attorney John Collier had argued that the large amounts of alcohol consumed by the four people in that hotel room, along with the fact that Kentworth was in the habit of carrying a gun, made conviction on anything more than second-degree murder the best-case scenario.

	Funeral services for Hansen were conducted Saturday, March 5, 3:00 P.M., at the Miller & Tracey Chapel, (which is today still in business, but named Hennessey, Goetsch & McGee at 210 NW 17th Street in Portland). Reverend Oswald Taylor preached the services. More than 200 vehicles made up the funeral procession. The pallbearers were fellow boxers [[Wesley (Kayo) Ketchell]], [[Eston Hunter]], [[Benny Pelz]], [[Louis Nelson]], [[Ray Morgan]] and [[Eddie Volk]]. Plus many out-of-town pugilists attended the funeral -- such as [[Tony Portillo]], [[Neil Kilbane]], and Freddie Steele.
