the four gunmen. who were convicted

MED by Governor Glynn late TO-DAY.
The convicted men nov must die in

The plea, which was made in the

he had TO retire To his private ONCE

II originally was planned that the
mother. brother and sister of Whitley
Lewis Seidenshner and the sister

Each one was permitted TO make his
plea. The governor. meanwhile. stood
nerVously twitching his watch chain.
dls lace was drawn and white, his
lips quivered and tears were in his
eyes: At times he interrupted the
speakers TO say that the evidence be

solemnity that Frank Cirofci was not

Inc governors only reply was that he
must rest on the evidence OF the four

When other appeals had failed the
clergymen finally requested that the
