The doom of the four gunmen await
,nr execution at Sing Sing was sealed
last night when Justice Goff denied
the motion OF their counsel for ne"
trial. They will go to the electric
chair at sunrise tomorrow morning.
Counsel and relatives announced
last night that they would make
one last desperate appeal LOT

Justice Goff listened to the testimony
of the new witnesses and considered
the afidavits Of others, presented 70
hin, IN PART IS Of the Supreme Court
Yesterday afternoon. The hearing oc-
cunied six hours. District Attorney
Whitman personally cross-eXamiheo
the witnesses and succeeded IN dis-
crediting their testimony in large
measure.
Evidence Oiseredited.
In his decision Justice Con- SAID 'ha1
the testimony Of the principai WIZ
nesses who furnished the newly dis
covered evidence" upon which the mo-
ton was based was hardly worthy Oh
belief. These witnesses were william

of Waterbury, Conn.,, who sWore tha'

men. and Karl Dresner, the bartenoer'
who made an affidavit that he saw
Vallon, Webber and Schepps In tho

from the scene Of the murder.
Neither made an impressive witness.
Burwell was shown TO have a ioiC
criminal record and Dresner contra
dicted himself repeatedly on cross-ex-
animation by the District Attorney.
In his decision Justice Goff consid-
cred the testimony Of each Of the new
witnesses for the gunmen. and dis
posed OF it dispassionately. The con-
clusion in each instance was that tne
witnesses were probably prompted ny
Interior motives in giving the tes'l-

Justice Goff worked on the decision
for almost four hours in his chambers
after the hearing closed at 4 O'Clock.
"Did Right" Says Whitman.
Justice Goff did right" said District
Attorney Whitman when informed that
the eleventh-hour effort OF counsel for
the gunmen had failed and a new trial
had been denied on the ground that
the evidence submitted was too fiimsy

1.-THE INTERVENING LADY.'

HE INTERVENING LAD I.
 By Edgar sJepson. Illustrated by Han
 son Booth. The Bobbs Merrill Co.,,
 publishers, Indianapolis.
 All of the c1everness and versatility of "PolIyooly;;" all of the dash and daring of "The Terrible Twins" all of the quiet humor and delightful pleas antries that have made these two pre- vious stories from the pen of Edgar Jepson so utterly charming. are In evil dence here. For Lady Noggs-"rhe In tervening Lady" is one little charmer. and the story of her life. written in two parts. is as fascinating and whole some bit of fiction as has been our lot to read recently.
 Out of the great heap of sex fiction problem novels. exposes on politics, so- ciety and labor, it peeps out like a lit- tie wild flower-bright colorful re- freshing. It is not a weighty book-it is hammocky sort of tale that swings along gently. There Is delight in it for the reader from the very first
 Lady Nogys-the heroine-is young, very young indeed when her story be- gins. She is exquisitely beautiful-just the sort of child fond mother stops to turn and look at as she passes and determines that her own little daughter must have frock Just like the one the child in question is wearing! Besides. she Is peeress in her own right. She has an income of f40,000 a year. But these endowments are as nothing com pared to her supreme gifts-humor and common sense.
 She has a finger in every pie, but, as rH mystery and adventure. The ingredients ere those of conventional society, and the pastries are devoured in the famiry circle The latter Is large. for Noggs lives with and rules over her uncle, who Is prime minister of England, and belongs to the governing classes. The reader is introduced to the inmost clique of British aristocracy.
 Noggs is outspoken, affectionate, crisp without being curt and her

diplomacy is of the first rank. She takes advice when she needs it. likes
 to know both sides acts for the good
 of all; keeps her temper: gets rid or people by elevating them, and remains
 within the strict confines of possibil-
 ity Adventurous she is in the sense
 that every fascinating little girl who
 has a streak of the tom boy in her makeup is adventurous. She likes to
 climb fences to invade forbidden gar dens to tease a eros old squire with
 grudge against everything that savers of happiness. She is as mischievous as the twinkle in her eye. She is as bright
 as her Titan curls.
 But the Noggs grown up in book two differs from Noggs the child. That diff ference, however, lies only in her having
 more freedom and power. This serves to enhance her, to make her more cap tivating and irrisistible than before. If she were an American one would call
 her the best type of college girl. The
 assertive little miss who declares that "grammar's no good at a1l-nobody uses it," and the amazing young lady who
 makes matches Qncluding her own) and sends men to Parliament, are equally fetching. The atmosphere of it all is bright, the turns unexpected, the crisp

Alert Lad Halts Swindlc

The quick wit of a grocer's boy led to the capture yesterday of two men. Claiming to be brothers, who had worked a fam game on a Camden store yesterday, says the New York Times, The prisoners gave the names John D. and Thomas D. Salt of Edge wood, N. J., and they are locked up pending investigation. as the police be- lieve they have been operating their game extensively elsewhere. The lad who brought about the capture Is Earl Griffin, 16 years old, of S11 Birch street.
 It was an old swindle. The Childs grocery at Fifth and Berk eley streets received a telephone message calling for the delivery of goods to the value of couple of dollars, with instructions 10 send change for a SEQ bill. The mes sage purported to come from the pastor

 "DR. MONTEssoRrs OWN HAND BOOK"
 By Maria Montessori. With many illus trations and diagrams. Frederick A. Stokes & Co, publishers, New York This book, "Dr Montessori's Own manual of the system has been specially written by Dr. Montessori herself as guide to teachers and parents. It con- tains full and clear account of the method, and includes description of the Montessor apparatus. with instructions for its use. It answers practically all the questions that are likely to arise from time to time. It is meant as a supple ment to 'The Montessori Method"--not to take its place in any sense, but merely to add such information as will aid in the daily classroom or in home classes.
 Some have imagined that Montessoris materials are playngs which if given out indiscriminately will perform the work of education automatically. This is not true, no one is fitted to undertake Mon tessori class without the most careful study and a real understanding, not only of Montessoris spirit and her funda- mental principles, but of the practical means of putting them into effect. which can be gained only through the reading of her handbook
 Dr. Montessori writes. "I wish to state definitely that the present work, the English translation of which has been au- thorized and approved by me, is the only authentic manual of the Montessori method. and that the only other authen- tic or authorized works of mine in the

The Two Voices

From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
 General Funston over d pink ice that finished luncheon in Vera Cruz, said of war:
 War is horrible and the world will bo a happier place when universal peace obtains.
 There are two ideas of war, the TO. mantle and the realistic. Both ideas were well voiced by Bill
 "Every time l see grandfather's sword and medals said Bill I long to take part in a universal war
 "Then, in an after thought. voicing now the realistic idea, Bill said:

4THE BOYS CAMP BOOK"

By Edward Cave: Doubleday Page & Co.,.
 publishers. Garden City N. Y.
 "The Boys Camp Book" by that clever author, Edward Cave, whom every boy reader likes and feels very near to. is a fitting successor to his Boy Scouts Hike Book
 '"The Boys Camp Book aims to give all the information boys are likely to need who go camping. Camping in the backyard or in the real wilderness are both covered in Mir. Caves book.
 MT. Cave gives list of '15 hints'' for boy campers which are very valuable, among them being the following:
 l. Do not store tents away so long as there is any question about their be- ing perfectly dry. even if they are guar anteed mildrew proof.
 2. The clothes line, for drying bathing suits and towels, should not be in rcn- spicuous place; have it among the trees pride in the appearance of the camp win hang things to dry on the guyropes of his tent.
 g. "A small milkcan makes the best water cooler. Good to pack things in, going to camp and returning. Wrap burlap around it, wet the burlap, and place in the shade where the breeze will strike it, to cool by evaporation.
 {. Never go into the water immediately after a meal or when overheated: to do so is to invite cramp.
 5. One of the advantages of pitching the camp in a circle Is that on a rainy day, any one, in any of the tents. can see into two thirds of the others; pro- viding, of course. the tent flaps are tied up.

GAY MORNING"

By J. E. Buckrose. George H. Doran
 company. publishers. New York. ]. ID. Buckrose. the author of "A
 Bachelors Comedy" has a well estab-
 lished reputation for the tenderness | or her love story and the wholesome quality of her humor. In new povel, Gay Morning. she has main tafned these qualities and combines with them .drollness which is likely to make highly popular appeal. Like a witty story teller who sets q diner party roaring with his account or an absentminded friend. so here the author with her tale of the worthy basset's endeavors to live up to a newly acquired social position Yet the author at the same time inspires so much fondness for the bewildered family that their loves and longing be- come our very own.
 Gay Morning" is the story of tha Bassets. The Bassets were well es- teemed by all their neighbors. "'Pa" Basset had an excellent egg importing Business he never failed to catch the 7;49 train. and his morals were ire proachable-but. nevertheless, the lift |of the Bassets was scarcely such as to fit them for the complications of high society.
 When they came into fortune, they bought huge country place and tried to live up to the quirks of the coun- try club set. The droll complications ensuing are not merely humorous they have a homely naturainess which makes them appeal to the heart.
 The most realistic and yet the most amusing of them all Is the endeavors of Emma, the sturdy little daughter of the Bassets. to be fair to two lovers at once. to the younger of whom she had been engaged before the fortune came, and to the stately rich man whom she met afterwards. She really cares for the latter and yet she does not wish to be snobbish as to change her heart with her bank account.

FOOL OF APRIL.

 By Justin Huntley Mccarthy. The John Lane Company. publishers, New York.
 Mr. Justin Huntley McCarthy's new novel. Fool of April Is story of the present day. but it seeks to show that even the most modern conditions may be touched with something of the wons der and the humor of an Arabian tale. Its hero Is an unusual figure, a man who is suddenly and unexpectedly sum moned from the ordered quiet and method of an obscure and routine existence to share in all the enjoyments and excite ments that the command of wealth can offer to the man of the world. But if whimsical fortune compels him, like Faust to reel from pleasure to pleasure in defiance of his native disposition he retains in spite of altered circumstances the loyable qualities which enable him iri the end to gain his hearts desire.
