within few doors of his home. On ar

with the brake in his frantic efforts to
bring the car to a sudden stop, then all

not hear the warning bell which the motor
man of the street car says he sounded.

Governor Durbin Goes Over the Evil
dence Carefully and Decides Not
to Interfere.
CONDEMNED MANS INSURANCE
FATHER-IN-LAW WILL BUY TEAM
OF HORSES WITH 1T.
Eugene Sheehan, I'm an Amdavit, Says
Such a Proposition Was Made
to Him Recently.

The relatives and legal representative Of
Ora Copenhaver. of this city. condemned
to death for the murder of his wife. made
renewed efforts yesterday to induce Gov
ernor Durbin to stay the execution, which
is set for Friday morning, or to commute
the sentence to life Imprisonment Henry
Seyfried, the attorney, succeeded in per-
suading the Goevrnor to consider the case
again, hear the mother and sisters of the
condemned man and go over the evidence
haver's sanity.
The Governor gave the relatives a hear
ing yesterday forenoon and during the day
he examined the evidence submitted by
Mr.. Seyfried. bearing on the question of
the sanity of the murderer. Last night at
9 o'clock shortly before leaving for Chi
cago on a business trip, Governor Durbin
announced his final decision that he would
not interfere with the execution of the SEN
tence. The Governor stated that the evil
dence of Copenhavers insanity was not
sufficiently conclusive in his opinion to
warrant his going behind the verdict of
the jury that had tried the case.
Among the evidence laid before the Gov
ernor by Mr.. Seyfried was statement
from DIR. H. NJ. Lash, one of the experts
who examined Copenhaver at the time of
his trial and who testified then that in his
opinion the murderer was insane, reiterat-
ing this declaration. DR.. Lash said he is
satisfied that Copenhaver is a paranoiac
and not responsible for criminal acts
Mr.. Seyfried also produced another inter-
esting document, an affidavit by Eugene
Sheehan. an Indianapolis contractor, set
ting forth that a short time after Copen-
haver murdered his wife a Mr.. Ferguson,
the father of the murdered woman came to
him (Sheehan) to purchase a team of horses
and desired to make an arrangement to pay
for the horses when he received the life in
surance money which would come to them
from the policy on Copenhaver's life. Mr.
Seyfried supplemented this by stating yes
terday that Ferguson has recently sent a
blank form to Copenhaver at Michigan City
for him to I'LL out and sign, assigning the
insurance money to Ferguson.
.An effort was made yesterday to have
Judge Afford and Prosecutor Ruckelshaus
sign a petition TO the Governor for Glenn
ency. but they refused.
