pecially those who look with favor upon the art

Johnson which has been scheduled for July in
California, hence the sports are for him.
"As long as they keep within the law and
believe they intend to do so, l shall not interfere
with the bout no matter what the church people
may urge" said the governor few days ago. 1t

like that, but Governor Gillett has shown before

sMYTH MUST DIE
IN ELECTRIC CHAIR
COURT OF APPEALS REFUSED
WRIT IN CASE OF MAN DOOM.
ED TO DEATH FRIDAY.

1 John J. Snayth, the Norfolk bar
tender. who killed his wife and nine.
year-old daughter with revolver
while drunk on the morning OF Sep
TENDER |. must die in the electric
chair at the State penitentiary FRI
day.
The Supreme Court OF Appeals
| Tuesday reviewed the doomed mans
petition for IL writ Of error and re-
fused it.
Smyth was sentenced to death in
the electric agency of destruction on
December s. but few days before
that Governor Mann granted him a
respite that his final appeal to save
hts life might be heard by the highest
State court.
The Smyth case is particularly dis
tressinE In view OF the fact that the
doomed man has three children, the
eldest Of whom is eight years old. who
was made motherless by his drunken
rage and will become utter orphans
when the Law claims its due Friday
morning.
In his appeal Smyth assigns whiskey
as the cause OF his awful crime. On
the night of August 81 he had a
quarrel with his wife, and the follow
Ing morning began to drink heavily
Immediately after opening the bar
where he was employed. BY nine
O'Clock on the morning Of Septem Der
he had taken sixteen drinks and
was in bad humor when he return
ed home.
Without warning to bis wife he
seized revolver and opened fire on
her. As the mortally wounded wo-
man struggled with her drunken and
Infatuated husband. her nine-year-o old
daughter. Rita May Smyth. rushed to
her side and begged the slayer not to
shoot any more. Smyths reply was
bullet from the revolver which kill.
ed the little interceding girl.
Smyth's petition for I writ OF error
was based on the grounds that the
corporation court OF Norfolk erred in
allowing a letter from Smyth's sister
TO a friend. in which the woman II
said to have expressed her belief that
Smyth premeditated the murder, to
be introduced as evidence; that the
court erred in allowing the eight
year-oid SON OF Smyth. and the most
important witness. to testify against
the accused father: that error was
committed in refusing to compel the
attorney to withdraw
certain remarks before the jury: that
the court erred in refusing to give
to the Jury about bring
ing in granddaughter verdict: that
the verdict was contrary to the law
and evidence in view OF the fact that
no deliberAtion or generalization had
been shown.
