eral days ago to be hanged for the murder
Of Quincy Mackel last April. attempted sui
eide at the District jail by cutting his throat
with sharpened spoon, it Is not denied
that watch has been placed. over the con-
demned man. Although the date Of the ex-
ecution is quite distant, November n next.
Thornton has become very Respondent, and
some fear is expressed that he may at
tempt to cheat the gallows. Therefore a
man has been placed in the cell with the
young murderer, with Instructions to
closely watch him day and night. The un-
fortunate man Is but little more than
tWenty-one years of age. and as his friends
claim that he stabbed Mackel in a drunken
row. the deed being without premedita ton,
they say, they will ask the President to
commute the death sentence to one Of i'm
prisonment for life or less, should the
Court Of Appeals affirm the judgment Of
the trial court. 1t Is believed that neither
Judge Cole. before whom the man was
tried. nor District Attorney Birney would
oppose such action by the President.
