The search for Mrs. Annette X. Ran

information as was in his hands over

Detectives have been sent to Little

that vicinity. Mrs. Rankine's husband,
who died in Franconia while they were
on their honeymoon, is buried near
there. 1t is believed that she may go

ty-one years to be present at the exc
oution, but no other persons shall be
present at the execution"
The Governor has taken the initla-
tive in preparing to administer capital
punishment under the new law and the
state architect is now working on plans
for the death cell.
What gas will be used for execution
purposes has not been decided upon
and the advice of gas experts also is
sought. The Governor is considering
using oyanogene gas, provided the plan
is practicable
The lethal gas bill was so loosely
drawn that the Prison Board and the
Governor, with no precedent to follow,
are seeking opinions from many sources
before taking any definite steps. The
bill was passed without any special
organized effort on the part Of outside
forces. Governor Boyle has always
been opposed to capital punishment.
1t was introduced by Assemblymen J.
H. Hart, of Lovelock, and Henry Bart
lett, Of Elko, who advocated its pas
sage on the ground that it would make
the administration of the death sentence
humane and is the most effective
method known, even excelling the cleo
trio chair.
The fact that the execution can take
place at any time within week gives
the prison authorities an opportunity
to administer the gas at a time when
the prisoner is asleep, 1T was argued.
But under present plans the executions
will take place on the first day of the
week set for the execution.
Governor Boyle would not make any
statement regarding the new law, but
said he wished to wait until the plans
had been worked out. He said, how
ever, that religious rights would be
extended condemned men

Victims of divorce
Milf Must Submit
Cases to New Trial
Those Remarked Since Get
ting Bogus DEGREES Not To
Be Prosecuted, but Chill
dren Are legal Puzzle

The first definite indication as to
:. 49, s.~.i1ss ~ &c tan~n % dispose
OF the numerous bogus divorce and
annulment DEGREES issued through
Herbert f. Millers divorce mill"
came yesterday when Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Walter Ferris of West
chester County said there would have
to be retrials of those eases. Those
persons who have remarked on the
strength OF the supposed bona tide
papers will not be treated as biga-
mists, but he did not know what dis
position would be made of children
born of the second marriages. In the
case OF the latter, Mr.. Ferris said, it
would have to be shown whether there
was sufficient evidence to justify the
granting of legal DEGREES to establish
the divorces obtained through Miller.
Where collusion is proved, said the
assistant district attorney in charge
of Investigations for Westche ter
County, and the evidence clearly a
"frame-up," parties to such tactics
will be dealt with more severely.
Many Of the cases in which the un-
licensed New York City lawyer APP,
peared as counsel in Westchester
County were out Of jurisdiction and
County or other of the city counties,
Mr.. Ferris said.
Miller's confidential clerk, Jack
Bannon, is cooperating with the dis
trict attorneys Office and has reported
one additional "faked" case since Mil
ler's indictment on Thursday. This
case is that of Earl Stevenon against
his wife.
Two Of the cases investigated by
Mr.. Ferris have been placed in the
hands Of Frederick E. Weeks, mayor
of White Plains. for adjustment.
These are Peter Martini, of III Gar
field Place, Brooklyn, against his
wife, and Nellie Cullen against James
Cullen. of the Bronx. Mayor Weeks
is an attorney.
Mr.. Ferris said that his present dis
position was to allow Miller's victims
to Initiate actions to straighten out
their matrimonial tangles rather than
to cause actions to be brought
through the district attorney's Office.
