TO HEAR BoswoRTH PETITION.
Gov Fletcher to Hear Lawyers Arguing
for Reprieve.

| Gov. Fletcher came to Montpelier to.
day to give an opportunity this after.
noon to counsel to present reasons why
they believe he should grant a reprieve
to Arthur Bosworth, who is awaiting
execution at the state prison on Janu-
airy 2, 1914, for the murder of Miss Mae
Labelle at Essex Junction in 1911. When
Gov. Fletcher told Bosworth's attorneys
that he would be ready to-day to hear
their arguments on the petition for a re-
prieve, they asked that the hearing be
delayed because they were not prepared.
In reply to that Gov. Fletcher called at.
tention to the fact that several months
had elapsed since Bosworh's execution
had been stayed last January and so he
could see little consistency in that ex-
cuse.
While at Rutland yesterday on his
way to Montpelier to give the hearing,
Gov. Fletcher, while refusing to express
himself as to the probable outcome of
the petition, did say that nothing has
been presented to the executive warrant
ing any stay in the order made by the
court for Bosworth's execution.
In discussing the matter of Bosworth's
constitutional rights" upon which the
condemned mans lawyers lay particular
stress, Governor Fletcher said that he did
not believe that there had been any in
fringement by the state. he said, chow
ever, the executive will give Bosworth's
lawyers opportunity to present their
evidence"
Governor Fletcher said that the re-
ceipts of the petition from Bosworth's
counsel was not a surprise, as he had
that such move was to be
made. Governor Fletcher also said that
should it transpire that the hearing did
not result in securing stay Of exc
cution, he understood that Bosworth's
attorneys intend to make move along
another line. Though the executive
would not say what he expected Bos-
worth's lawyers to do as final resort,
he said that he was convinced that de-
effort will be made to delay the
execution.
