OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -- The US Supreme Court denies a stay of execution for a man accused of killing four people during the robbery of a fast-food restaurant in Tulsa.

Corey Duane Hamilton's request for a stay of execution and certiorari review were denied yesterday afternoon, clearing the way for his execution.

In a three-sentence order, the court said Justices David Souter and John Paul Stevens voted to grant a stay of execution.

Hamilton is scheduled to die at 6 PM for the execution-style slaying of four employees at Lee's Famous Recipe Chicken Restaurant in Tulsa on August 17th, 1992.

Hamilton received four death sentences after he and three others were convicted of killing Joseph Gooch, Theodore Kindley, Senaida Lara, and Steven Williams.

The robbers took $2,200 and then forced the victims into the restaurant's walk-in refrigerator, where they all were found shot once in the back of the head.
