EXECUTIVE OFFICES
 ARE MOVED INTO THE NEW CAPITOL WING
State Officials to Occupy Quarters MagnificentIy Furnished in New
 Addition

Montgomery, December G. Special ) After several months delay in waiting for furniture and other furnishings, the executive offices of the governor of Alabama were moved today into the new capitol wing, on the north side of the building The executive offices are now complete in every detail The floor of the governors private office is coy cred with heavy Brussels carpet and elegant mahogany furniture has been placed in the room. all of which is in thorough keeping with the mahogany finishing of the office.
 The governors office is probably one of the handsomest in the south or in any state of the union, and is in keep ing with the importance and dignity of the state of Alabama. Great care was exercised in selecting the furnishings for the office. and the wisdom of the careful selection has been shown in the results achieved.
 The office of Private Secretary Mc- Neel is also furnished In mahogany, and the floor is covered with a carpet simi- lar to that in the governors office.
 The other rooms of the executive of fices are also handsomely furnished, though they are more in keeping with the purpose for which they will be uEed.
 The private office of Secretary of State Cyrus E. Brown is furnished very much like the governors office, just across the hall, though MT. Browns of flee has a blue Brussels carpet on the floor instead of green carpet, which covers the floor of the executive of. flee.
 The new wing has been handsomely furnished, and the furniture is in keep ing with the general appearance of the building and the importance of the of fees. But the capitol commission was not extrayagant In furnishing the new wing, as evidenced by the fact that they did not use s5000 or $6000 of the s100, 900 appropriated by the legislature for the erection and equipment of the new wing.

PROSECUTOR ASKS FOR DEATH
 SENTENCE FOR WILL OAKLEY

The case will probably go to the jury to- morrow morning. Attorneys completed their arguments this evening and Judge Brown will make his charge early in the morning.
 Solicitor Seibels in his argument declared that if verdict of not guilty by reason of insanity is returned every juryman will live to see or read about Oakley being discharged from the insane hospital and being sent to his people in Bibb county. "Gentlemen. you can't render a verdict for life sentence" stated MT. Seibels, "it must either be death or freedom. He has no defense. State witnesses have told you that the defendant shot an unarmed and defenseless man. Gentlemen, do not believe you can acquit this man on his plea
 At another time in his argument the so- licitor declared that Some one has sug- gested to me that we have an open season for killing men. Why. killings are so frequent you can count on at least one |s week"

Montgomery, December 6.-tspecial.)- Scoring VIII c. Oakley for disregarding
 the sacredness of the state capitol and shooting an unarmed and defenseless man, Solicitor William T. Seibeis tonight pleaded with a jury in the criminal di-
 vision of the city court to throw aside
 the defendants plea of not guilty by reason of insanity and render verdict of guilty of murder in the first degree with a death penalty attached.
 Witness after witness told the jury to- day that he did not believe Oakley should
 be held accountable for the murder of his
 stepfather F. A. Wood, who was shot to death in the state convict department Oc-
 tober 31. They enumerated his many pe- culiarities and referred to the times when Oakley thought there were hogs under his bed. to his sullenness, to his idea that
 every person was his enemy and no one was his friend, and the many indica- lions that he had never been sane.

 WHAT WAS MEANTbY SEVEN WORD PHRASE
McNamara Demanded In formation About Con- structiOn Work at
 Clinton, Iowa

Indianapolis, December 6.-seven words embraced in the phrase pretty hard to do anything to it," were pro- duced by the government at the trial of the accused bomb Ilotters' today as its evidence that Herman G. Seifert, Milwaukee, was implicated in the Me- Namara dynamite conspiracy.
 Seifert as one of the fl accused union officials, had waited weeks to testify and he was on the stand less than 20 minutes explaining what he meant by that phrase. About a month before an explosion in Milwaukee on March 16. 1911, when a 'job" was dam aged by dynamite with $50,0O0 loss, Seifert took the place of William E. Reddin, business agent of the Iron Workers union, who was sick for four days. During that time Seifert wrote q letter to John J. McNamara at In- ldianapolis.
 Using that phrase, the witness said he referred to efforts to unionize the job. Seifert asserted he first learned of the explosion from newspapers. Me
 Manigal confessed to having actually placed the explosive.
 Reddin, also a defendant, testhed that in response to demands from the Indianapolis headquarters he sent in formation about construction work at Clinton, la. which afterwards was blown up. He said MeNamara also re- ouired him to forward newspaper ac- counts of explosions at Milwaukee and Green Bay, Wis.
 Whether the defendants helped raise a fund for the defense of the McNa- mara brothers at Los Angeles and whether they attempted to ascertain whether the McNamaras were guilty. were made points of inquiry In the governments ross-examination of Reddin. Seifert, Charles N. Reum of
 Minneapolis Daniel Buckley of Dayen- port la, and Murray l.. Pennell of Springfield, III.
 All replied they had urged contribn- tions to the fund, but they did not make an investigation believing the IMcNamaras were innocent until they
 pleaded guilty"
 This line of inquiry was permitted by the court on the ground that the Los Angeles Times explosion was party Of the geenral conspiracy in which the present defendants aie alleged to have
