Boy Murderers to
Hang Friday

Denver. June 15.-Governor Nc

would not interfere further with the
carving out of the death sentence on
Frederick Arnold and Newton An
lrews. known as the Youngblood
murderers. However, attorneys for
the condemned men will make a last
appeal to the board of pardons today
Yesterday they filed with the board
an affidavit from Sheriff Hamilton
Armstrong, who was chief of police
of Denver at the time of the murder
In this Sherin Armstrong says it was
impossible for the youths to have
shot Mrs. Youngblood deliberately,
as the room in which she was killed
was dark.
When the murder was committed
Arnold was wrestling with Thomas
Youngblood, and the discharge was
accidental, says the statement
Both the condemned men are now
in the death house at Canon City'
The exact time of the execution is
not known to anyone except Warden
CIeghorn of the state penitentiary.
II is generally believed, however
that the men will meet their doom
Friday night, at about S o'clock.
