poRR DOOMED TO DIE THIS WEEK.
Te Be Eiectreeuted for Murder of 1
 0eeFae E. Marsh of Lynn.

Boston. March 22-His appeal for executive ciernency having failed, Will liam A. Dorr of Stockton. Cal, tonight awaited at Charlestown state prison fuIfillnent of 8 sentence of death
 Dorr's crime was the murder on April Il, 1912, of George E. Marsh, a wealthy retired soap manufacturer. Of Lynn. Marsh NaS trustee of a fund of s1oc,ooo for Miss Orpha Marsh of Stockton, an aunt of Dorr, who lived at her home. The contention of the government was that the motive for killing lay in Doris knowledge that this fund would go to his aunt on the death of it's custodian. and that event. ually it would revert to him. He came east early in April. 1912. A diary, in troduced at the trial, purported to have been kept by him from the time he arrived here to the day that Marsh was killed. It described in detail how he had trailed the aged millionaire day by day. In it references were made to doing the job" and to the satisfaction of the writer that it was 'all over" The last entry was dated the day of the murder. Dorr fled after the killing and was captured 8 week later at Stockton. On the way west he had mailed the diary to his aunt He as serted in court thai it was all written after Marsh's death. with the idea of placing himself in a more favorable light with his aunt. The defense ad-
 
 unsound mind.
 It appeared in evidence that Dorr invited Marsh -D take an automobile ride with nlm. After they were speed ing over the boulevard, adjoining the West Lynn marshes, they quarreled, according to Dorr's testimony. A struggle followed and Marsh was shot to death. Dorr contended that he act ed in setf-defense. He set up a fur ther plea of lack of Jurisdiction by Essex county, in tfe courts of which he was tried, maintaining that the shooting took place in Suffolk coun- ty. But the finding of the body in the West Lynn swanps. of Dorr's cap be- side it. and his revolver in the Saugus river, all within the limits of Essex county, were held sufficient for over ruling the plea.
 He may bs eiectrocuted any night this week In accordance with the law, providing for secrecy, the date has not been announced by the state prison warden.
 Dorr expressed the wish tonight that after the execution his body might be creanlated. In a long interview with his spiritual adviser, Rev. Arthur H. Hartman of Lynn, promised the clergyman that he would be brave to the end. He wrote two farewell let ters to his sisters one of whom lives in Maine and the other in California.

the character of Senor Portiilo by Charge Algara. The latter has pointed out that While SenOr Portillo is a member of the clerical party, he is very liberal in his views
 ConstitutiOnalists here have said, however, that while they thought high " of Senor Portillo y Rojas personally, his affiliations with the clerical party would prevent his being accepted by General Carranza as provisional suc- cessor to HueTUa.
 Administration officials here, whiie deeply interested in new parIeys, think that little can be accomplished until the battle of Torreon is over. The prestige and strength of one or the other of the two Mexican factions admittedly will suffer as a result of the contest, and the moral effect throughout Mexico, it is believed here, will be tremendous
