MVAY IS TO
HANG FRIDAY
DEATH WARRANT ISSUED
JURY SUMMONED BY SHERIFF
TO PASS ON SANITY OF
CONDEMNED MAN.

Little Rock, Jan. Ex-Governor Don
aghey Wednesday evening instructed
that a death warrant be sent to Sher-
if Edgar Brewster at Pine Bluff, call
ing for the execution of John McVay
between sunrise and sundown Friday.
Sheriff Brewster was in consultation
with Governor Donaghey for quite a
while Wednesday afternoon, and re-
quested that respite of an additional
30 days, but it was refused.
McVay is very i'll in the Pine Bluff
jail, and the physicians who have en-
amined him state he is suffering from
insanity of a nature which will cause
his death in few weeks, if not days.
Sheriff Brewster once before summon
ed jury to look into the sanity of
the condemned man, and acting upon
its report, failed to hang McVay up
on the day first set for his execution.
Governor Donaghey then granted a
respite of week in order that the
physicians could study the case, and
reach a definite conclusion as to Me
Ways sanity The action of Cover
nor Donaghey makes it necessary for
Sheriff Brewster to summon another
jury to examine McVay, and this will
be done today Should this jury de-
eide McNay is sane, the sheriff will
proceed with the execution Friday.
McVay is charged with the murder
of J. w Ethridge in the courthouse
at Pine Bluff, where Ethridge was on
trial for the murder of a brother.
Two brothers Of McVay are now serv-
ing terms in the penitentary for their
part in this crime, and they declare
John McNay, who is a cripple, had no
part in it. McVay was incarcerated
in the penitentary while his case was
being fought through the higher court
and was recently taken to the Pine
Bluff Jail to await his execution. He
became violently i'll, and then lapsed
into state of coma, arousing himself
at intermittent periods, Nduring which
he would fight his jailors. 1t was at
first thought he was shaming insanity.
If the jury declares McVay insane to-
day, Governor Donaghey will probably
grant an additional reprieve.

GOVERNOR ELECT
FOR SENATOR
CAN SERVE STATE BEST"
SAYS JOE T. ROBINSON, WHO
WILL RESIGN AS GOVERNOR
AFTER BEING INSTLLED.

Little Rock, Jan. 9.-The untimely
and unfortunate death of Senator Da-
Wis has created exceptional conditions
in the political affairs of our state,
which, automatically, work changes in
the plans and purposes of many per-
sons. The states equal representa-
ton in the United States senate is
involved, and | now submit my can
didacy for the long term, which does
not BEGUN until March l.
Deeply sensible of the obligations
imposed upon me by the generous con-
tidence Of the people who elected me
governor, | would not seek or accept
Tthe senatorship ii did not believe tn at
in doing 50 my usefulness To the state
would be Increased.
The constructive work of my ad-
mnistration as governor must be per-
formed during the session of the leg
islature, which will have completed
its labors before service in the senate
under the long term VIII begin. The
measures that have championed will
have been either approved or rejected
before the senatorial duties will be
assumed in the event | am elected.
No one can question that after the
legislature has adjourned, service in
tho IT,i+oJ S+oro@ roro+o vii e.
broader opportunities for usefulness
than continuation in the governors
Office The duties of the governors
office, when the legislature is not il
session, are largely administrative.
1t is well known that an extra ses
sion of congress will be convened
probably the 18th of April, to reor
ganize the government under Demo
cratic administration, and to revise
our tariff laws. This will constitute
in some sense, a crisis in the affairs
of the Democratic party, and of the
nation. My active service, for lC
years in the house Of representatives
during which time our tariff laws
have been twice revised, have famil-
liarized me with congressional duties
and the training thus obtained may be
an indispensable asset to effective
service in the senate at this time. II
happens, also, to be true that by the
generous favor of the electors who
sent me to congress, have been able
to form a personal acquaintance with
all the members Of both houses OF
congress and the other principal off
GERS Of the government,
After hearing the counsel of my
friends throughout the state wh(
concur in this conclusion | offer my
self as a candidate for the long tern
to succeed the late and lamented Sen
ator Davis in the United States sen
ate. JOE T. ROBINSON.

FL Paso. Tex, Oct. 9.-Federal
General Alvarez and his staff and I25
| federal soldiers were executed in
Iorreon. Mexico, under orders of Gen
eral Francisco villa of the Constitu,
tionalist forces. according to informa-
ton from reliable sources brought
here. With the city of Torreon, the
rebels captured practically all of the
Federal arms and artillery The bat
tie lasted four days, with heavy losses
to both sides.
From Mexico City comes the report
that with the capture of Torreon by
the rebels, rumors became current OF
massacre of Spaniards which, if CON
firmed, would approach the horror of
the massacre of Chinese in tho same
city in the Madero revolution in 1910.
1t is estimated that there are be-
tween sixty and one hundred Span
iards in the city of Torreon. Refugees
who have communicated with the reb-
els in that district declare that it has
been common boast that they would
slaughter the Spaniards if they sue
ceeded in capturing the town.
Besides Spaniards, there are num-
Der of French and German residents
in Torreon Their diplomatic repre-
sentatives here are making efforts to
learn their tate.
Three hundred refugees, many OF
them Americans, left Torreon before
the capture of that city by the Con
stitutionalists and are making their
way overland to the border, according
to dispatch received here. They are
expected to reach Laredo tomorrow.
So far as can be ascertained, none
of the foreigners was injured either
while the street fighting was in prog
ress or during the reprisals which fol.
lowed the rebel victory, the Constitu-
tionalist commander providing pro-
lection for them, especially the Amer
leans.
Americans who returned from Pie
dras Ncgras reported that one of
those executed was woman. Federal
officials denied this.
