Fargo, N. D--When Myron r. Kent
was informed Tuesday afternoon Of Gov
Allin's refusal to commute his sentence
to life Imprisonment, his nerve did not de-
sert him. There was no more Indication
of nervousness than if he was not the man
concerned. All hope seems lost, but the
condemned man has not lost heart entirely
and seems to feel that something will pre-
vent his execution. The new appeal by his
attorneys may delay the proceedings
somewhat, though it Will not have any
effect on the final result. Kent's greatest
desire seems to be to see his son who is
with his uncles, Frank and Bruce Laird.
They have positively refused to allow him
to be brought to Fargo under any condi-
ton. Their action has created consider
able adverse comment. The governors re-
fusal to commute the sentence is a dlsap-
pontment in Fargo and over the state,
where the sympathy Of the people IS large
ly with the condemned man. u.
