TOM SLAUGHTER TO BE ExE-
 CUTED FRIDAY, DECEMBER 16
Circuit Judge Overrules Motion for New Trial and Sentences Con-
 vict to Chair.

Pine Bluff. Nov S.-Circuit Judge w. B. Sorrels today overruled mo- ton for new trial for Tom Slaughter, bandit, who was charged with the murder of prison guard in an at tempt to escape from Tucker state farm on September IS, and sentenced Slaughter to death in the electric chair on Friday, December 16.
 Motion for new trial was denied following denial under oath by A. c. Huckleberry, a convict, that he had stated that he killed the guard and would testify to that effect rather than see Slaughter electrocuted. Huckleberry told the court he was not at the camp where the guard was killed on the day of Slaughter's at tempt to escape. Two witnesses for the defense testified they had heard Huckelberry make the statement that he killed the guard.
 Slaughter, in statement to the court before sentence was pro- nounced, declared he did not kill the guard and said his sentence was the result of prejudice against him on the part of officials at the farm.

Miller, who is head of the commission, At the suggestion of Dr. Miller, who is to be in Beaumont, Tex, on November Is, it is planned, if possible, that he will come to Mena on the 18th, view the proposed site, then discuss the details with the local com mittees at luncheon in the evening.

WEEKS CALLS ON
 LEGION FOR HELP
Secretary of War Urges Organization to Obtain All Facts of Hanging and Shooting of Soldiers, as Charged
 by Senator Watson of Georgia.

Washington, Nov. 7.--The Ameri- can Legion was asked by the war de- partment today to lend it's assistance in obtaining all facts relating to the charges made by Senator Watson of Georgia, that soldiers were shot and hanged, frequently without court martial during the war.
 Secretary Weeks appealed to Han ford MacNider, commander of the American Legion, asking the assist ance of his organization in order to make public all records and informa- tion relating to the Senator's allega- tions.
 After quoting the senator's charges as printed in the Congressional Re- cord on October 31, the secretary said:
 "The foregoing statement coming so long after the commission of the alleged crimes, constitutes, refiec- tion upon the entire personnel of the American Expeditionary force consider the public entitled to all the facts which it is within the power of my office to, produce. If there possi- bly, exists any basis for such allega- tion, the responsible persons should bear the odium. Otherwise definite refutation is desirable.
 "The war department will make available all of it's records and such information as may come from per sons under it's control. However, such persons constitute but a small percentage of those who served over seas, and who have been attacked.
