SEEK TO COMMUTE
H||10OC|NS' SENTENCE

Little Rock, Sept. 25.-That Ar
thur Hodgins, the 19-year-old youth
who is sentenced to be electrocuted
in November for the murder of the
marshal at Amity, is a pervert, is
the opinion Of the penitentiary off,
Gals. Hodgins, instead of showing
remorse for his crime, and fear of
the electric chair, spends the most
of his time drawing lewd pictures. He
does not express regret for his crime
and apparently does not realize that
he stands in the shadow of death.
An effort will be made to have Hold
gins sentence committed to life i'm
prisonment, for those who have ques-
toned him say he is mentally weak,
and has little sense of right and
wron. Hodgins shot the officer after
he had been arrested for a minor Of
Tense, using revolver he had con-
cealed in an inner coat pocket.
