and on the way 60 jail, jerked q re-
volver from the pocket Of the officer
and killed him. II would be q
burning disgrace for Arkansas TO e1-
ecute this afflicted youth. Yet, no
one has petitioned from the far north
or from the state either, for the
commutation Of Hodgins' sentence.
Joe Strong, the swartby little
cellmate Of Hodgins was convicted
of the murder of Benton, for which
Dewein was sentenced TO death.
He is all boy, effervescent, cheerful
and boIsterous. Even the close
proximity of the electric chair does
not get upon his nerves as it does
upon the other three of the quar-
tette.
The good women of Arkansas
should interest themselves in the
cases of these four boys. They
should not be put to death at the
age when most boys are still saying
their prayers at mothers knee. Pc
titions from all sections Of the state
should pour in on Gov. Hays, ask
ing for commutation Of the sen.
tences. The people of Arkansas
should at least show as much inter.
est in these striplIngs as did the
people Of the north in a burly negro
brute, who was guilty of far more
dastardly crime. The people OF
Arkansas can execute or save these
boys just as they desire-a lack oil
ipterest will denote they want e
see the boys executed.
