Joe Hillstrom has written his
death poem. The !. w. w. song
writer had given up hope today

Hiilstrom's reprieve expires next
Saturday when the pardons board
will consider his case again. The
only thing that can save him from
the firing squad. according to men,
hers OF the board, is new evidence.
OF which no hint has yet been
heard. II the board extends no
