Governor Gynn Hears Final Appeal of Attorneys but Re- fuses Interfere With the Executions Still Stout y Protest Innocence of the Crime-No Confession Ex pected, Notwithstanding Rumors to that Effect.

Albany, N. Y, April 12.-The last faint glimmer of hope that reprieve might be granted the four New York sunmen passed late today.
 In the executive chamber of the de- serted state capitol Governor Glynn heard the final appeals of two attor- neys, C. G. F. Wahle and H. L. Krin- gle, for d stay of the death sentence and then for the last time refused to interfere with the executions.
 For two hours-from about three o'clock until five-the attorneys plead ed with the governor. They made no appeals to his sympaIhieS- Only the new evidence that was presented be- fore Justice Golf in New York yes terday was presented When they had finished. the governor and his legal adviser, John c. Sake retired to a private room and considered all the evidence.
 Then the gunmen's attorneys were sent for. Pale and trifie nervous, but with a firm voice, the governor sair:
 "Gentemen, | am sorry. butu I can- not see my way clear to change my deicsion.''
 With their last chance to save the gunmen from the electric chair gone, the attorneys walked slowly from the chamber
 Tt seems the boys must die,' MT. sWahle said. Unless the governor CnanSES nlS ueclSlOn ptIOTe morning, they are doomed
 Did he hold out any hope?" was asked.
 'No,' he replied, "on the contrary, he said his decision was final
 Mir Wahle then told of the nature of his appeal emphasizing the fact that he thought the governor was very pr.tient
 '4TFg governor seemed anxious to knov/ every new fact in the case" he said and I tried to explain them fully. We presented all the evidence and afidavits produced before Judge Golf yesterday set forth verbally the sa- Hent fea lures of the evidence and then gave him and his counsel the af- fdavits for their own examination
 There is nothing left for us to do but continue our duties as bearers of bad news We shall telegraph to Ossining and later return to New York to report the governors decision to the relatives of the condemned men"
 Statement from Executive Chamber.
 A written statement issued at the executive chamber follows:
 Judge Wahle renewed the applica- ton and the governor heard him for one hour and q half.
 The application was renewed on the same facts that were before the governor originally and the affidavits j Golf yesterday afternoon.
 The governor replied that there was nothing before him to justify his in terference with the course of the law
 The final plea was made in the ex- ecutive chamber with only the gov- ernoT, his legal adviser, John e. Saxe. the gunmen's two attorneys and Frank A Tierney the governors secretary, present The governor did not appear after the attorneys had left the cham Der. MT. Saxe gave out the statement and said that the governor would have nothing more to say.
 While the attorneys were with the governor a report became current that the mother and a sister of "Dago Frank CirOfici were coming here to see the executive. One rurnor was that they bore a confession from the eunmen. Another was that they thought a last personal appeal to the governor might save the gunmen's s lives.
 When the governor heard this re- port he said positively he would not grant the women an audience He de- cided several days ago not to talk with any of the relatives Of the con- demned men
 The women did not arrive however and A1r Wallle said he did not think they ever had any intention of com ing
 If they should have come,'' he
