And his legal adviser listened to a final
plea from ex-Judge Wahle and H. L.
kringel, who reviewed the evidence sub.
mitted TO Judge Gof yesterday In the APP
piication Tor new trial. Gov Giynn
listened to everything Mr. Wahlc had to
say and then retired to his private room
with his attorneys. After half an hour
the Governor told Mr.. Wahlc that he was
sorry. but that nothing had been pre-
scented to him that had convinced him
that he should interfere with the electro
cution OF the gunner. John o. SAKE. the
Governors counsel. later gave cut this
statement.
Judge Wahlc renewed the application
and the Governor heard him for an hour
and a half. The application WAS renewed
on the same facts that were before the
Governor originally and the afildavits
and testimony NJ the new witnesses pre-
scented TO Justice Con- yesterday after
noon.
The Governor replied that there was
nothing before him to Justify his inter-
ference with the course OF the law
Judge Wahle left for New York city
on the I 40 o'clock train tonight. ut IL
all over" he said as he left the Executive
Chamber. THE Governor has been very
good TO us and gave us all the time we
desired. but announced he could find no
reason which would warrant him In inter-
fering. The Governor asked many ques-
lions about Dago FRANK ana we enught-
ened him as far as we could.
III political ambitions were not mixed
UP In this case we would either have had
q new trial or a reprieve lf II was an
ordinary case and II the minds Of the
people were not SO centred upon II We
would have been granted a new trial.
Unless I am shown to the contrary con-
clusively am satisfied that four innocent
men will be electrocuted ON Monday
morning"
Although Gov. Glynn reiterated several
times to-day that he was through with
the gunmen's case. Deputy Secretary OF
State Jose Il. Pidgeon was constantly
within call of the Executive Chamber II
II became necessary for the Secretary OF
States office to authenticate "a respite.
The Governor spent the afternoon and
evening with Mr.. SAKE, owen L. Potter,
special LEGAL adviser on pardons. and
State Superintendent OF Prisons John Il.
Riley. These three dined with Gov. Glynn
At the Executive Mansion tonight.
eupt. Riley's visit to Sing Sing prison
on Friday night was for the purpose OF
endeavoring to learn from DagO Frank
II the three other gunner had been
Justly convicted OF the Rosenthal murder.
Gov. Glynn will not give up hope OF
confession from Dago Frank until the
last minute, and upon the character OF
the confession may depend whether or not
all four or only three Of the gunner will
10 electrocuted.
For some reason rot apparent plain
clothes men kept close watch on the
Executive Mansion to-day.
"All hope is gone. nothing will be done
here to save the gunner from the cleo
tric chair" said Supt. Riley tonight. II
don't see how the boys are to escape pay
ing the penalty. A confession from the
men themselves is now the only thing
that can stay the execution"
Hopeful to the last the mother and
sister OF Dago Frank Cirofci came to
Albany tonight to plead with the Gov
ernor for n reprieve. They were met at
the Executive Mansion by Supt. Riley and
Mr.. SAKE. They appealed for an audience
with the Governor. When this was de-
MED they wrote out a note. which was
taken to Gov. Glynn.
When they were told that the Governor
could do nothing the frantic women went
10 the nearby house OF a clergyman to
appeal to him to use his influence with
Mr.. Glynn. Again they were informed
that nothing could be done to influence the
Governor.
