FIVE KILLERS
 ARE REPR|EVEL)
Expected Executive Procla- nation Extending Lease on Life of Campbell, Per cz, PeraIta, Chavez and Rodriguez Issued

|hc expected reprieves for the five murdorcrs now incarcerated in tine stat" prison under sentence of death, which was extended by former cXecu- tive cicmency until today, was pub lshcd from the governors office yes terday. The. extension this time is only until May 16 next, at which time Gover~or Hunt hopes by reason of the then expected size of the ini- tIated petitions to abolish the death pona!ty, that the legislature will have taken some action satisfactory to him or If least will have passed the amendment to the constitution and submitted the matter to the people.
 The five murderers are William Campbell. Edwardo Perez, N. B
 Chavez. Misuil Peralta of YaVapai county, and Francisco Rodriguez of N8ricopa county. The hideous nature

of their crimes is too well known to need repeating here. All have been tried and convicted each in turn ap- pealed to the supreme tribunal of the state where after d thorough ex- animation of the cases the judgments of the lower courts were affirmed.
 Stripped of the first several where ascs which set forth the trial and sentencing of the prisoners, together with the statement of the former eE- ecutive action, the repreive reads as follows
 WHEREAS, the purpose of the is suance of the reprieves referred to herein was to give the state legisla- ture and the people of Arizona an opportunity to act upon the proposal for the abolition of capital punish ment which purpose is as yet only partially fulfilled; and
 WHEREAS. there are on file with the secretary of state. initiative pcti- tions bearing hundreds of signatures and proposing that the issue involved in the death penalty shall be voted upon by the people If Arizona at the next general election with d view to determining whether the law provid- ing for capital punishment shall be retained in or excluded from the legal code of this state. and
 WHEREAS. the circulation and fil- ing of the initiative petitions referred to above indicate very cOnclusively that a large proportion of the people of Arizona is opposed to capital pun ishment, and gives rise to a legiti- mate doubt as to whether or not the execution of the prisoners confined under sentence of death at the state

against it. He pitched very
clever ball last fall, yet he could
not win, and he's year older
now.
Marquard is a bit erratic and
requires more coaching and aid
from his mates than Mathewson.
He is there, though, when he is
right. / have found that it's a
good thing to smash away at the
Rube.
OF course, I use a different
system against the various New
York pitchers, just as do
against all other teams. You al
ways figure ON q mans control
when you are facing him. A
twirler like Matty, who seldom
gives a base on balls, can only
be beaten by hitting at his early
pitches. By that mean not
waiting until he gets you two
and three, for he will exert him
self to the limit then and he's
likely to fool you. Hitting the
first one is good stuff against
Matty. Waiting them out is the
proper caper against Tesreau II
he Is as wild as usual. He has
more trouble getting the ball
over in pinch than either
Matty, Marquard or Demaree.

l wouldn't be surprised to see
AL Demaree fool the Athletics
about as badly as any pitcher on
McGraN's staff. The Athletics
have batted against both Mathew
son and Vanguard and may have
learned something which will help
them solves their deliveries. Dema-
re is a newcomer, though he Is
not a kid by any means. He has
a delivery which has fooled me
often this season. He puts on
speed when you would swear he
is pitching slow ones. ! watched
him swarming up before one of
the games he pitched against the
Pirates, and 1 thought he had no
smoke at all, but when stepped
to the plate he was shooting them
over like cannon balls, yet he was
not using a motion which indi-
Gated much exerti0n.
OF course, Mathewson's head
will help him in the big series,
but the chances are against
Christy being as effective as he
has been in similar series in the
past. Age tells on the best of
players. Matty has not been so
successful lately as he once was,
but he uses his brains about as
much as any pitcher in the busi-
ness, and he is likely to get by
when a man with more stuff
would fail.
My opinion is that the hitting
in the worlds series will depend
very largely on whether one or
the other teams is suffering from
a slump. BY that mean to ex-
press my belief i'm the conviction
that when q man is batting at his
best he can hit any twriler i'm
the world and when he is off his
stride q novice can fool him. I've
studied slumps, but I've never
been able to explain them, and I've
never heard of a recipe for curing
one except pegging away till your
eye comes back.

MAJOR HAD AN.
AWFUL Time ON
WITNESS STAND.
FORMER MEMBER OF Gov
ERNOR OF LOUISIANA'S
STAFF FORCED TO READ
POEM DEDICATED TO WIFE
OF CAPT. II. @. MERRIAM, u.
s. A. ON THE STAND YES
TERDAY AFTERNOON.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 25.--
There was moonlight on the
meadows,
There we're shadows in the lane
AS l went along with Bessie
At the grinding of the cane.
1t was drip, drip, drip
Oh, the cane was sweet to sip,
But nothing to the sweetness
OF her dewy, rosy lips"
And that's only part of it-part
of the poem Mai. Clarence MUIR
ply, formerly of the governor of
Louisiana's staff, wrote and dedi-
Gated to Mrs. Bessie G. Merriam,
wife of Capt. H. G. Merriam of the
United States army.
His face purple, his brow cov-
cred with perspiration, and his
voice husky with rage, the major
had to read the entire poem to a
crowded court room yesterday
afternoon at the trial of Capt.
Merriam's divorce suit against his
wife, whom he accuses among 9TH
er things of indiscretion with Maj.
Murphy.
The reading of the witness
poem threw the court room into
such paroxysms of mirth that
Judge Graham, himself ON the
broad grin, could not restore or
der for some time, and laughingly
suggested that the major take his
lyric to the Orpheum.
The dapper, but wrathful ma
jor, finally reached a point where
he could contain himself no long
er. and exclaimed, regardless Of
court etiquette:
II have been brought here un-
der false pretenses and ought to
be allowed to protest. l was in
Paris when / received word that
had been named as correspondent
in this case, and came across an
ocean and a continent to defend
the good name of this woman and
myself-only to be made game of.
So / wish to make a statement
Linforth would not consent,
however, and, apparently against
his will, Judge Graham, who look
ed as IL he would have liked to
hear what the major had to say,
was obliged to refer him to the
newspapers. Aside from annoy
ing the major, Linforth accom-.
plished nothing. His poems were
the worst offense the witness
would admit. AS for his relations
with Mrs. Merriam he declared
emphatically and with every ap.
pearance of truth, that they were
perfectly innocent.
