Must Hang in Chicago
Friday.

Springfield, ILL.,, July Coy
ernor Small today denied commu-
tation or further reprieVe to An
tonic Lopez, sentenced to hang to-
morrow for the murder of Antonio
Varchetta in Chicago in May, 1870.
The denial was made upon a unan-
imous recommendation OF the d.
vision of pardons and paroles.
Lopez asked for Communication OF
his sentence to life Imprisonment
He was saved from the gallows
April Is, when Governor Small
granted a reprieve to May ID.
Again on May II, the governor
granted a reprieve to July s, to give
the division of pardons and pa
roles further time in which to in
vestigate new claims of Lopez in
nocence by his attorney, State Sen

Varchetta kiIling-Joe Costanzo and

of a gang of Chicago gunner.
The Lopez case was carried to
the supreme court separately from
the cases of the other convicted

life of Lopez was made on the
claim that he was a victim of cir
cumstances who dropped into the
bakery, where Varchetta was shot
and was an innocent witness to the
killing.

looking.
He was a good pianist, a clever
cornetist. an expert with the bag
of sleigh bells and such musical para

Also, he could tell a joke in unique
way.
As youngster Frank one day
lured his bI other Joe into the field

Their mother taught them the tech
n!que Of the piano; a delicatesSe:!
dealer instructed them in the mys-
teries Of the flute and a Salvation
Army eXhortcr impaired the rud.-
ments of cornet playing to Frank.
But there was still something miss
ing, and a Scot, who boarded with
the family, taught Frank to play the
bagpipes.
One day the manager Of a vaude-
Vile theater wedged him into a bill
