venture. but this he denied. His
first wife was Mrs. Eliza Weathers-

was Maxine Elliott. the noted ac-
tress, whom he married in 1898.
His third wife, Edna Goodrich, an

 TO GOV. DONAGnEY
W. s. RHEA, SENTENCED TO HANG IS TAKEN TO OFFICE OF
 CHIEF EXECUTIVE.
Spends An Hour Assuring Governor Of His Absolute Innocence of
 the Murder Charge.

Little Rock, July Ex-Governor Donaghey will leave the latter part of this week for Hot Springs fer the purpose of taking three weeks course of baths. 1t will be the loug- est cessation from the cares of the office he has had during his adminis- ;ration. He will, however, return to . Little Rock at intervals to attend to imperative duties of his office.
 One of the most eXacting duties with which he is conwonted is that of disposing of the case of w. s. Rhea, sentenced to be hanged July 12 at Arkansas City for the murder of Constable Archard. He gave an audience in his office today to Rhea himself, one of the rare instances in the history of the state in which a condemned murderer has made per sonal plea to- the governor for clemency For over an hour Rhea and his attorney, K. o. Pindall. were with the governor, and the prisoner with all the persuasive power at his command, assured the governor o1 his absolute innocence. So far a: known, the governor remains inexor- able, but his courses is matter o conjecture. At present the reques' is only for a stay of execution unti ! after trial of the negroes under in dictment for the same crime.
