and while for q long while it looked

SLEW HIS RIVAL IN LOVE
Jesse Whitley Sentenced to Peniten-

Des Arc.-Twenty-one years in the
Arkansas penitent tiary will be the pun
ishment for Jesse Whitley, the young
Des Arc merchant, who murdered Wes-
ley Mum, his rival, for the hand of
Miss Bessie Baty on January 2.
After deliberating from o'clock
Thursday night until / 80 o'clock the
following afternoon the Jurors an
nounced they had reached a verdict
and while a crowd of spectators that
filled the courtroom silently waited,
the IL filed in.
Guilty of murder in the second de.
gree" read the foreman.
Whitley stoically smiled. Then was
read the sentence Of 21 years and the
smile faded from the face of the young
prisoner.
Immediately Whitley's attorneys
moved for new trial. The motion
was refused by Judge Eugene Lank-
ford, and the attorneys announced
their intention to appeal to the SUI
preme oCurt
The evidence went to prove that
Whitley killed Mum because the lat
ter had won favor of Miss Bessie

WILSON WEDDING IN MAY
Presidents Youngest Daughter to Wed

Western Newspaper Union News Service
WaShington.-Whil no date has
been announced for the wedding Of
Miss Eleanor Wilson, the presidents
youngest daughter, and Secretary Nc
Adoo, Washington society expects 1t to
take place within month. Dress
makers are already at the White
House and it is believed an announce
ment of the wedding date will be made
within a short time and that it will
be some time in May.
Mr. and Mrs. Francis B. Sayre, who
were married at the White House last
November, reached here Thursday
from Williamstown, Mass, and joined
the president and Mrs. Wilson, Miss
Eleanor and Margaret Wilson and
Miss Helen Woodrow Bones on their
trip to White Sulphur Springs, w. Va.
Prospects are that after the family
returns to the White House active pre-
parations for the wedding will be be-
gun. That the reception after the
wedding may take place out of doors
is not altogether unlikely, as the White
House grounds are never prettier than

LAST HOPE Of THE
GUNMEN IS GONE
GOV. GLYNN REFUSED TO GRANT
REPRiEVE FROM DEATH
CHAIR.
RABBiS BEG FOR CLEMENCY
Said Evidence Presented by Defense
Did Not Justify Him in Granting
Stay of Execution.
Western Newspaper Union News Service

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Albany, n. with tears in his
eyes and quaver in his voice, Gov
ernor Glynn denied an impassioned
and dramatic appeal by five Jewish
rabbis for a stay of the execution of
the four gunner convicted of killing
Herman Rosenthal, the gambler. Their
last hope gone, the gunmen knew posi-
lively that they must die in the cleo
trio chair at Sing Sing Monday.
The governor was so moved by the
pleas of the rabbis that he was oblig-
ed to seclude himself in his private Of
flee for more than an hour before he
could proceed with his work.
While the rabbis were begging that
he spare the lives Of the four youths,
Gov. Glynn stood nervously twitching
his watch chain. His face was drawn
and white, his lips quavered and tears
stood in his eyes.
At times he interrupted the speak
ers to say that evidence before him
did not justify him in granting the gun
men longer lease of life.
'If it were my heart alone that was
considering this case. you know what
| would do he said. ut is a choice
between sentiment and justice, and |
must side with justice. Gentlemen,
would give every cent l have in the
world if l could be relieved from the
duty of having to pass upon this case
finally"
The rabhis argued that new evidence
in behalf of the gunner might appear
at the second trial of former Police
Lieutenant Charles Becker.
Rabbi Jacob Goldstein, chaplain of
the Tombs and Sing Sing prisons,
pleaded that the governor at least post
pone the execution of "Dago Frank"
Cirofici. He said the other three
all Jewish boys-had assured him "in
all solemnity that Cirofici was not
there at the time of the shooting"
