sees At to admit them on the day Of
the hanging.
MIR. Woodfn says 1t Is the opinion
of members of the board OF directors
that there has been too much notoriety
In connection with the case, and that
they will do everything in their power
to keep the sensational stories in con-
nection with the case down to min
lmum in future.
There will probably be no reporters

doubtedly be witnessed only by the
number OF witnesses required by law.
