After it stops raining today, I will search for Lily's husband Elmer's gravestone.  I don't believe there is yet a photo of it on the web, (and every comment I have found in people alluding to it, has been that of "it is on the other side of the cemetery..."--I don't know if anyone has actually found it...) so I will be excited to have the image to share.  I am hoping against all hope that there is some inscription, information, or intriguing adornment or symbology to be deciphered.

I am also waiting on the criminal pardon application for Elmer L. Gray that I have ordered.  I have never viewed one, and have no idea if it will allude to the actual crime.  If it is the same Elmer Gray, the pardon may have been granted, since he was married to lily 3 years later.  I am hoping it contains a personal plea or something in his own words, rather than just a form. 

The Nevada marriage records site seems to be down.  Too bad, because it looks as if the actual copies of the documents are viewable.  Will be working on that.  I desperately need Lily's maiden name to further research her birth and family.  I have requests in on several genealogy website discussion boards--no replies yet.

UPDATE: It didn't stop raining, and didn't seem like it would ever stop raining, so I headed over to the cemetery to find Elmer's grave.  I obtained a map of the cemetery from the library, actually, an amazing little pamphlet/guidebook entitled  The Famous and the Infamous: A Guide to the Salt Lake City Cemetery by Linda K. Hilton. Lilly and Elmer's stones are not listed, but there are directions to many famous graves and monuments.  The map is very simple and easy to use, and between it and the sexton's records, I parked my car and walked directly to Elmer's grave.  It is a small, modest, flat stone like Lily's.  Unfortunately, it did not have an inscription or any information other than his birth and death dates.  There are flowers engraved on the stone, and I will attempt to identify the type and any symbology.
