ARIZONA STATE COMEDIES
 STILL AMUSE REST IF STATES

Florence, Arizona, May 2S.-After every legal recourse had failed, the mercy plea of William J. Bryan, sec retary of state, which had been re- jected by the state legislature, proved potent today to save the lives of the five Mexicans who were to have been hanged at the penitentiary here. At the last moment the state board of pardons and paroles, taking cogniz- ance of Mir. Bryan's request for de- lay, ordered reprieves of nine weeks for all of the condemned men and re- commended that they be executed sep arately and not together, as intended today.
 Whether any will be executed at all depends, however, on the success attending future moves in Governor George w. P. Hunts five-year strug- gle to abolish the death penalty in Arizona.
 The condemned men were bound and made ready for the plunge through the gallows trap, when the board of pardons and paroles made known its decision to grant delay. The de- cision was expressed in a resolution adopted after a session lasting all morning. This resolution stated that as the secretary of state had seen fit to recommend reprieves in view of the possible effect of the executions upon American interests in northern Mexico, the board had concluded to recommend delay "out of respect due Mir. Bryan's high and responsible Office."
 Announcement of the decision came just after Tucson had reported that Judge H. w. Sawtelle, sitting in the United States district court there, had declined to grant writs of ha- beas corpus. Attorneys for an anti capital punishment society had rid den all night in an automobile from the Florence prison to Tucson to file the habeas corpus applications. These were considered the last chance, as the board of pardons and paroles had previously declined to interfere with the executions.
 R. B. Sims, prison warden, had de- tailed man to cut the rope which would have sprung the trap on each of the condemned men in turn. When the board members reported their de- cision to him, Sims promptly tele- phoned to Governor Hunt, who at the
The Coconino sun., 1915-06-04

capitol in Phoenix, anxiously awaited the outcome.
 "My God, l am glad," said the gov ernor. 'That was a fight. I have never had fight like that in my life."
 The governor announced, however, that he was not in accord with the suggestion of the board of pardons and paroles to scatter the executions.
 eff they have to occur, want them to be all at the same time so we can get over with it," he declared.
 This was taken to mean that Gov. ernor Hunt still adherd to the belief that if lives have to be given up "horror" would be best to swing sent iment finally against capital punish ment which was approved in the last election when a plurality vote de- prived the governor of his pardoning and reprieving powers and vested them in the board of pardons and pa roles.
 Under the law, as it now stands, the governor can grant reprieves only on recommendation of the board and reprieved the five prisoners until July 10, 1915.

QUEER MIXTURE OF CATH
OLIC PRIEST AND MASON
PREACHER

Dear Sir: A wolf in Sleeps
clothing, Catholic priest, dismissed
. the audience at Methodist revival
by the request Of the Rev. Brewer,
pastor Of the M. E. Church, after a
short talk. He then dismissed the
audience on the night of April IA,
1915, during the time that Miss
Anna M. Lowry was delivering a
lecture at the opera house at De-
Queen, Ark.
Catholics have the nerve to try to
throttle the free press and destroy
our public schools and intimidate
the public by assassination when
they have the support and encour-
agement of the weakened Protest
ants? What are the Protestants
afraid of? Is it the boycott, the
Black Hand, or do they prefer the
priest in preference to Christ?
There were also members of the
Roman Catholic Church in attend
ance at the Methodist Church on the
night Of the 14th inst, when the
worthy Father made short address
and then dismissed the congregation.
Were they good Catholics, or were
they at this Methodist church for
purpose? Yours truly,
Ark. J. w. WORRELL.
P. S. In addition to the above,
will also state that this Methodist
minister, Mr. Brewer, is a Royal
Arch Mason, and I want the Masons
of the world to know this.

PEOPLE WALKED OUT ON THIS
BAPTIST PREACHER.

Dear Sir: I will write you a let
ter in regard to the stand the preach
ers have taken in this town relative
to the Frank case.
was present last night at the
Baptist Tabernacle, and heard DR.. J.
IL. White speak on this subject. I
never in my life saw the people so
wrought up over thing, and leave
a church like they did when he be-
gan to urge that Franks sentence
should be ccmmuted.
| met him on the street Monday
morning, and I asked him if there
had not been other parties hung in
Georgia, since Frank was arrested,
and he acknowledged that there had
been. | further asked him why he
did not make his spiel for those par
ties, as he was opposed to capital
punishment. He could not answer
me satisfactorily
He was strongly advised by dea-
cons and others in the church not to
speak on this subject.
He read the Sunday mornings
Journal editorial in the pulpit Sun
day night. | consider that it was a
disgrace to any c11urch for any
preacher to use the pulpit with such
filthy and vile paper as the Atlanta
Journal. They even allowed a Jew
to circulate a petition right there in
the church, but, so far as I know,
he did not get any -signers.
My opinion is that DR.. White has
lost his influence in the church, and
might as we'll resign and leave. [
believe the people here are as much
wrought up over the case now as
they were the week Frank was on
trial Your true friend,
Atlanta, Ga G.. w. SEALS.
