TO profit by the Delinquent returns

APPEAL REFUSED
IN WALKER CASE
Supreme Court Denies Writ of
Error to Charles City Muir
derer-May Seek Respite.

The Virginia Supreme Court OF APP
peals yesterday refused writ OF
error in the case OF Newell Walker
convicted of the murder of his young
wife last May in Charles City County.
The condemned man is now confined in
the death chamber at the State Peni-
Tertiary, and unless executive elem
ency is exercised. he will pay the ex-
trcne penalty on September Is. He is
unaware that his last chance for a
new trial has gone
Although his attorneys had buoyed
him up with the hope of n rehearing,
Walker early after his incarceration
in licnrico County Jail, where he was
, brought following the trial for safe
keeping. did not share their optimistic
views, and continually spoke of his
approaching death. He was apparent
~ reconcilcd to his fate, but worried
over the future of his three small
children who are now in the hands
OF neighbors.
While there is now no possibility OF
a new trial, Walkers attorneys will
probably ask that Il respite of thirty
days be given their client on account
OF the short period in which he Will
nave to prepare for death There has
never been any effort TO secure a com
mutation OF sentence. as the facts in
the case clearly showed that the muir
der had been extremely brutal That
Walker was entitled to a new trial on
statutory grounds was the plea OF his
attorneys.
Walker is twenty-eight years old
while the murdered woman was in her
twenty fourth year The couple had
been married for six years. Mrs
| Walker was the daughter of sawmill
operator, while her husband was "A
wood chopper and farm hand. The
couple had many quarrels it is said
over money matters, and separated

rotary Owen received Il postal card
yesterday morning from the Governor
giving Friday rs the date Of his re-

night was complete surprise to his
official family. Both the Governor and
Mrs. Mann arc in excellent health.
Governor Mann made a careful study
of fifty miles of road built by the Colo
RADIO convicts. who work without
guards. and arrived at the conclusion
that Virginia has been more success
full than Colorado in road building with
convicts The Colorado roads are very
fine, said the Governor, but the ma
tcrial Is at hand and in many instances
the roads are literally hcwn out of the
rock 1t costs the State of Colorado
40 cents to work convict on the
roads a day of eight hours, while Vir-
ginia convicts put in Il workday of
ten hours at an expense OF SO cents
man. Some OF the Colorado ideas in
roadbuilding and penal regulation the
Governor declared to be worthy Of
emolution In the Old Dominion

Last Saturday night Governor Mann
attended the banquet of the Denver
Democratic Club and made a short
speech. He enjoyed the political SEES

the hospitable spirit of the Westernqrs
