Lovelady intimated that the board would get busy at once looking to the final disposition of the convicts The contract with the Pratt Consolidated has not netted the county as large a financial return as the previous con- tract netted, and for that reason the board is desirous of making new ar engagements if possible.

New York, November 26.-"Gyp the Blood" "Whitey Lewis" Lefty Louie" and "Dago Frank the gunmen con victed of the murder of Herman Rosen- thai. were sentenced by Justice Golf today to die in the electric chair at Sing Sing during the week of Jan uary 6.
 Each of the prisoners were sentenced separately and in each case c. F. C.. Wahle, their counsel, moved that the verdict be set aside and the judgment be arrested Each motion Justice Golf successive1y denied.
 One of the grounds for Mir Wahle's motion was that the verdict was the re- suit of passion prejudice and other in fluences. None of the condemned men gave any visible sign of his inward emotions.
 Accompanied by Sheriff Hamburger and 12 deputies the four men were forced through a big silent crowd out side the criminal courts building, thrust into the prison van and taken to the Grand Central station where they boarded train for Sing Sing. There with Charles H. Becker, former lieu tenant of police, condemned as instiga- tor of the Rosenthal murder, they will await execution.

What was he about to say? They
all recognized instinctively that his
forthcoming deliverance would be a
final one. Would good or evil domin-

made her plea and 1t had been a pow

the woman who urged him; there was
nothing left for him but chance that
she should think better of him than
he merited; he had come to the end
of his resources. And Enid Maitland
