Considers Case
Far Into Night.

The governor was deeply touched by
the petition made to him by Clay's sis
ter and father Tuesday. The case came
to him direct from the home Of The
people eoncerned It never has beer
passed upon by the supreme court-it
never has been referred to the prison
commission.
The entire responsibility was thrown
upon the executive, and he sat far into
last night thinking of the case and
considering 1t.
1t was we'll after 1 o'clock today be-
fore he definitely made up his mind
what his duty is.
Clay must hang Friday unless some
extraordinary circumstance arises In
the meantime to save him. And this
seems most unlikely.
II can see no reason for interfering
in the Clay. case" was the terse and
only statement the governor gave out
for publication.
That Robert L. Clay is feigning in
sanity; that his mental condition IS
normal, and that he could break his ST
lence If he would, is the finding of DR..
James N. Ellis, alienist, who called at
the Tower today and made a thorough
examination of the wife slayer. doomed
to die on the gallows on Friday, De-
cember 10.
DR.. Ellis made his examination fol-
lowing a written request from Attorney
William NJ Smith, counsel for the con-
demned man. Similar requests were
made of DR.. James B. Baird and DR..
Samuel H. Green, who, with DR.. Ellis,
examined Clay prior to his trial, the
first part of last June, and declared him
sane at that time Whether these two
experts will make further examina-
ton has not been learned.
DR.. Ellis declined to give out state
ment. but. in report to Jailer Broad
max, Immediately following the exami-
nation, he pronounced Clay's mental
condition the same as it was when the
first examination was made

Cell Floor Uttered
With Cigarette Stubs.

He said the slayer's physical condi-
ton is not quite as good as at that time
but attributed this to his long confine-
ment, the constant mental strain under
which he Is laboring. and the smoking
Of cigarettes. Partly smoked cigar
cites and matches in profusion were
found by the doctor on the floor Of the
cell.
Clays pulse was found to be above
normal, but DR. Ellis told Jailer Broad
max this was due to suppressed ex-
element anxiety and dread.
Asked by the jailer if he thought Clay
could break his long silence and speak
Dr. Ellis replied that he could. He said
he was sure Clay is sane, and that "the
attitude of silence is merely a feature
of the role Clay is acting"
DR.. Ellis explained that he thought
as a matter of justice to the doomed
man. another examination should be
made, in order to determine Clay's men
tai condition at this time.
Clay did not utter a sound during the
examination. When told by Inside
JalleF INopeIl Is " LOIu oul MS manu- 9o
the doctor could feel his pulse, Clay
made no move, The jaiier then took
hold Of Clay's wrist and placed IL in
the doctors hand. clay apparently
took no interest whatever in the pro-
ceedings.
II clay is feignug insanity. he, IN the
opinion of jail officials, will collapse on
the galloWs aud break tile silence he
has maintained since he shot lis wife
to death on MAY H. Last.

Executive Considers the Case
Far Into Night, But Finds
No Cause for Action.
PRISONER FOUND SANE
IN THE FINAL INQUIRY
Or. Ellis Makes Thorough Ex-
animation and Reports to
JaiIer Slayer Is Feigning.

Governor Joseph M, Brown will not
interfere in the case against Robert
Lee Clay, sentenced to die on the gal
lows in the Fulton county Tower Fri
day of this week.
The governor, as he promised the
doomed mans sister and father, went
into the record of the case against
Clay exhaustively. He could find moth
ing in it by way of extenuating circum-
stances.
To the executive mind, it appears as
if Clay's crime was cold-blooded, ma
licious and premeditated murder. He
could find no justification for mercy OF
.clemency in the case.
Therefore, he authorized the an
nouncement that ne will permit the Law
to take It's course Friday.

Special 10 The Tribune
OGDEN, Sept. 9.--The attendance on
this the opening day OF the Ogden high
school, was the largest in the history Of
the institution. according to Supern-
tendent John NJ. Mills. Glasses were not
attempted today. owing TO the necessity
Of assigning the students to their varl-
Gus courses OF study and arranging
programme
When the students had gathered in the
assembly hall this morning Principal
Henry Peterson who succeeds j. O,
Cross was introduced by superintendent
Mills. In addition to brief addresses by
dent the Rev. Frank C. Brainerd gave
a brief address on the subject OF edu-
cation. 1t Is thought that everything will
be in readiness TO take up the class work
at o'clock tomorrow morning.
With the opening of the public grade
schools a new arrangement went Into
effect regarding the seventh and eighth
grades. Instead of one sub high school,
the seventh and eighth grades have been
consolidated and confined to three build
ings known AZ junior high schools. These
schools are the sub-hlgh, Dee and Pin
gree. This arrangement according to
Superintendent Mills, makes possible an
approximate saving OF $1,000 on equip
ment and at the same time securing a
maximum Of efficiency. The junior high
school plan Is said TO be gaining favor
very rapidly throughout the country,
Los Angeles having established six of
these schools In the past year.
