President Expected to Act Upon 1t To-
narrow

| Frank Funk, the condemned murderer,
will not know what he may expect before
tomorrow afternoon. There was some I'M
easiness at the Department of Justice for
awhile over the matter of the return Of the
President in time to dispose of the case,
but 1t has been definitely learned that the
President will be back here tomorrow
morning. He will some time during Thurs
day take UP the case of Funk, and an
nounce his opinion. This will be guided
entirely by the recommendation Of the head
OF the Department of Justice. Attorney
General Griggs will probably not pass upon
the case, as he Is not expected to come
back to Washington in time. Assistant At
torney General Hoyt has already received
the evidence, but as Solicitor General Rich
ards got back from Ohio this morning and
is the ranking official, the matter OF
recommendation in Funk's case will most
likely be in his hands. The recommended
ton of the acting attorney general will go
to the President tomorrow morning, and he
will pass upon the petition as quickly as
possible.
The Department of Justice has been in
formed that Judge Cole declines to make
any recommendation in Funks case, SO
that the recommendation of District Attor-
ney Anderson is the only one on file from
the officials who tried the case.

ment Of Justice today and made an appeal
to Solicitor General Richards to save the

Funl<'s Friends Discouraged.
Friends of Funk feel somewhat discour-
aged over the adverse reports on his petit
ton for a Communication of sentence made
by District Attorney Anderson. In view of
this it is believed that the Attorney Cen
erals office will not make a favorable
recommended ton to the President.
The condemned man continues to hold up
well under the strain and still believes that
he may be saved from the gallows. If he
is to die on Friday he says he is ready to
go. Two days ago the death watch was
placed on the condemned man, and guard
looks after him all the time. This morning
Fun IS father called to see him, and the
Rev. Father Mcguire. his spiritual adviser,
