was in the chair Mt the meeting. 1t was
his first official visit to the prison since
his appointment.
Gondorf whose real name Is Mac
donald and who was known as the 'king
of the wire tappers." served four years
and one month Of an indeterminate' sem
tence OF between five and ten years for
grand larceny. He was eligible for parole
because OF the time allowance for good
behavior.
Gondorf annoyed former Warden
Thomas NJ Osborne so much In the
stormy days OF the Mutual Welfare
League that he was transferred TO Clin-
ton prison. The convict's friends found
the Journey from Broadway to Danne-
mora a tedious one and within four
months he was back in Sing Sing play

and his gang had obtained $4,000 in
one year.
Eugene Adams, a caterer Of London,
once met Gondorf on a steamer coming
TO New York. Adams was taken by Con
dorf to poolroom In West Forty-ninth
street. HIS comparatively small roll OF
$4,000 was not sufficient TO cause Con-
DORIS gang to 80 through the compli-
Gated schemes that had been employed
with success In big cities OF the United
states In addition to London and Paris.
When Adams insisted on combining his
wagers to small sum he was robbed and
thrown into the street.
A detective was in tho neighborhood
and two arrests were made Adams
lodged complaints against them The
police In searching for Gondorf kept an
eye on Adams. The latter led them one
evening to Broadway and 1880 street,
where Gondorf was arrested after he had
returned to Adams his $4,000.

BOY SLAYER LOSES;
NOW FACES DEATH
Court Of Appeals Refuses to
Halt Execution Of Paul
Chapman, II.

ALBANY, Nov. 1s.-Executive Gle
mency is the only barrier that stands
now between Paul Chapman and death
in the electric chair at Sing Sing Pris-
on. The Court OF Appeals decided to-
day that the conviction for first degree
of St Bartholomew Episcopal church

convicted Of a capital crime in this State
was the result Of Just verdict and
affirmed the sentence OF death.
That there will be an eleventh hour
fight to save Chapman. now q little
more than seventeen years old. there Is
no doubt From the moment of his ar
rest on the murder charge Chapman has
had the aid of organizations opposed to
capital punishment. Chapman's moth
er. Mrs. Louise Barenburg, has been at
work for months marshalling the forces
which she believes eventually will re-
suit In saving her sons life.
So far the fight to save Chapman
has been based upon his youth. This
contention the Court Of Appeals de-
clined to entertain. "Our duty and
power in capital cases." the decision
states, ARE clearly defined and cstab-
lished. They are not changed, they are
neither less nor more rigid or compelling

ord does not disclose any errors preju-
