GENTRY MAY NOT HANG.
Natural Death before Execution
Would Not lie n Surprise.
philadelphia Press, 2d.)

James b. Gentry. the condemned actor
confined in Moyamensing prison awaiting
execution for the murder OF Aadge Norke.
Is reported to be a physical wreck, and
II is further said that he Il not likely 10
live 70 be hanged should the execution Ne
even slightly delayed. An officer OF tho
court who assisted in the prosecution.
yesterday was told by a gentleman who
has seen Gentry within the past few
days: III there IL much delay IN having
the sentence of death pronounced. ths
Court will never get tho chance TO do II.
for Gentry will not live long"
The decline In Gentry's condition has
been marked since the trial. and at thu
present time he Is said TO be 30 weak
that he can scarcely rise from his COZ.
and his conversation is barely audible.
II Is asserted by some that the prisoner
has not slept since Saturday OF last
week, and has been unable 10 eat any
food. He sits in his cell I'm a semi -dRzed
condition, broodlng over his terrible pre-
dicament and talks Of but ll'tle else.
Those who have met Gentry since his
fate was decided by tho twelve men who
sat through the trial and heard the tes-
timony. declare that the verdict was Q
terrible blow 10 him. q shock from whica
as yet there has been not tho slightest
indication of recovery.
HAS NO HOPE.
After the close Of the trial he was
transferred from the untried depart
ment OF the prison 10 the convict quarters
and the prison uniform placed on his
gaunt form. Whatever hope he might
have had before this left him with tina
change Of cells. and rapid falling was
noticed.
On Tuesday his mother visited him IN
his new cell. and the meeting was
pathetic one. All tho consolation OF
mothers love was given Gentry. but &c
failed 10 cheer him, and when she left ne
sat with his head between his hands IN
the deepest anguish. To-day he will be
taken 10 the courtroom II he is able, ana
the arguments for the new trial Will DO
made.
