RESPITE FOLLOWS
BAFF CASE HEARING
Governor Extends Time Set
for Execution to Guard
Against Error.

The fate Of Joseph Cohen, now in the
death house at Sing Sing for the murder
Of Barnett Baff, West Washington Mar
ket poultry dealer, still hangs in the
balance. although Gov. Smith, following
hearing at which he presided in the
Office of District Attorney Swami yes
terday, decided to grant further respite
to the condemned man.
The Governor sat for five hours listen
ing to testimony Of witnesses as well as
a recital of facts adduced at the Dis
trict Attorneys John Doe proceedings
helds last spring before Judge John F.
Mcintyre OF the Court of General Ses-
sions, through which it was endeavored
to determine whether perjury had been
committed at Cohens trial. The hearing
yesterday was granted by Gov. Smith
upon application made by Cohen's at
torneys Goldstein & Goldstein, for a
Communication of Cohen's sentence to life
Imprisonment. the contention being made
that there is now evidence to show that
Cohen may have been wrongly impli-
Gated in the murder of Ban.
After following patiently for hours
without let up all the ramihcations of
the case Gov. Smith frankly acknowl-
edged that he was getting tired of listen
ing and asked to be told the present
status OF the John Doe proceeding. Upon
being informed by Ferdinand Pecora, the
assistant prosecutor who had been pre-
senting this phase of the case, that the
ex parte proceeding had come to a halt
in July and had not yet been completed.
the Governor decided to suspend his
bearing, giving further respite to the
condemned man. urging at the same
time upon the District Attorney the inn
portance of cleaning up his John Doe
hearing.
s"Do this and give us something to
hang our hats and coats upon" said
the Governor to the District Attorney
and his assistant THAT is not Court of
Appeals language, Judge" he added,
turning to Judge Mcintyre, but that's
just what we've got to have in order
to get anywhere"
The Governor then asked Judge Nc
Intyre II the John Doe inquiry had pro .
duced sufficient evidence that perjury
had been committed to justify taking
the matter to the Grand Jury. Judge
Mcintyre replied that he believed enough
such evidence had been adduced.
Present at the hearing yesterday be-
sides the Governor. Judge Mcintyre, the
District Attorney and several of his aids
were Attorney General Charles d. New

standard of efficiency that borders on the

Mr.. Burleson said the people had been
misled into believing him responsible for
impaired postal service, which was due
to the breakdown Of the railroad sys-
tenn. In one month there were $1,000
missed train connections, he said. Part
of the trouble was also due to the Post
Office Department being overcrowded
with other work, including War Savings

Of missionaries, and aiding In admin

istration OF alien enemies.

Great activity prevails at the camps on Chititu, White and Rex creeks. On Rex everything is ready for mining, ard it is expected that the giants will be working in few days. Pipe has been put in order, and all that is need cd is the water to run, Three teams have been steadily engaged in hauling Hume and pipe to No. 2 White, where a 125-foot dam has been built. A 200- foot Hume carries the water to pen stock, and from there the pipe has been driven, starting with a 28-inch, and continuing down to No. 10 Chit itu, where it will cross the creek on new three-span bridge to No. 8, where the principal mining will be done this season. Forty men are now employed between the two camps, and more are arriving every day. Bassett is chef at the Rex camp and Mrs. McAllister at No. g Chititu.
 At the head of Rex Art Powell IS prospecting No. IF with gratifying re- suits, getting 15-cent pans and not yet to bedrock. He is experiencing diff culty in the crosscut, owing to the frost thawing and the dirt sloughing.
 At present the property of the Rex Alaska Company is at a standstill, al- though word has been received oy their agents that their representatives from Minneapolis will be in next month.
 Oscar Hansen. Carl Anderson ana Lou Anderson, on the right limit bench of Rex. are making plans Tor the big cleanup from their winter dump. Mike Molenski also has been preparing for work this season.
