Death Penalty For Slayers
OF British Field Marshal

nounced, Dunn began:
There exist certain living eXcep-
tions to this general rule OF justice.
Captain Colthurst, who murdered Mr..
Skeffington, and Captain Hardy, who
murdered Brigadier-"
Here the Judge interrupted, saying
that he would not allow the occasion
to be used for political purposes. Dunn
continued with a suggestion that the
case should be argued by court OF
the higher powers of Europe.
O'Sullivan then arose and said IN
husky voice:
"All ! have done, my Lord, | have
done for Ireland and for Ireland l am
proud to die" -,
There was cry of "Hear, hear"
from the rear of the dock. The black
cap was placed upon the judges head
He then passed the sentence Of death
of Dunn. When he ended with the
words "and may the Lord have mercy
on your SOUL" Dunn said quietly:
"He will, my Lord"
The Judge then sentenced O'Sul-
livan. who at the conclusion cried;
you may kill my body, my Lord,
but my spirit you will never kill"
Thus, 26 days from the date on
which the noted soldier was murder
ed. the men who fired the fatal shots
were convicted and the death penalty
imposed on them. This constitutes a
record in England where murder
trials usually are completed more
quickly than in most countries.
The Attorney-GeneraPs case for
the prosecution required barely half
an hour to present.
Before opening the defense Artem-
as Jones, Of counsel for the prison.
ers, asked that Dunn be allowed to
make statement. The statement was
handed TO the judge, who declared 1t
to be a political manifesto justify
ing the right to kill and that he there
fore could not allow it to be read. The
court said Dunn could give evidence
if he wished.
The defendants counsel there
upon asked the Court for short ad-
iournment for consultation, which
was granted. When the attorneys re-
turned Mr.. Jones announced that the
defendants took the view that owing
to the judges refusal to permit
Dunn's statement to be read they no
longer wished to have legal repre-
sentation. Therefore Mr.. Jones stated
that he had no alternative but to
withdraw the case.

 Eliminating from this number, those payments, which have been made but of which receipt has not been returned by the district office at Albuquerque. there remain but 21 who have not yet made payment of grazing fees. Some of these 21 may have sent their fees directly to the Albuquerque office, in which case record of payment would not yet be on file in the Prescott forest check.
 Under the congressional resolution extending payment of grazing fees to December l, Supervisor Wales ex- plained, 30 days grace was given. If payment is not now made, the forest service hefe will be forced, under congressional ruling, to take steps to collect Permittees grazing cattle on forest ranges without hay ing paid their fees will be reported to the department of justice at However, if dclinqucnts make payment before the report reaches Washington, payment will be accepted and the report cancelled.
 It is the desire of the Prescott forest service, Supervisor Wales said, to aid the permittccs as much as possible in their present difficulties, while still conforming to require, ments of law. Thus, no reports of delinqucnts will be sent in to the de- partment of justice before mid January

DRAG THE ROADS IS
 GOOD STREET SLOGAN
CFrom Fridays Daily)

In Phoenix after rain 1t used to be the pride and joy of the news papers to carry the slogan: Drag the Roads!" in prominent places. The purpose of this was to inspire the rural residents with the gushing en- thusiasm that would bring about the cheap, widespread and much needed repair of rough roads. There, roads are usually pretty bad when the old dust has stood, on 'em for a few months between showers. ..-....i.1,.
 In Yavapai county, however, that urging is not needed, and if 1t were, it would do no good. There is no great mileage of county roads, thick ly lined with jovial farmers, each possessing team and drag.
 But now would be good time to begin thinking about some dragging on the city streets, and if the down town cannot be paved before spring, at least some of its inequalities can be combed and brushed within the next week

 The 1922 license plates are let tered in green on a white back ground. The innovation, made pub lie some months ago, of establish ing serial or class numbers for coun- ties, comes into use for the first time this year. For each county the serial number is followed by dash and the license number, running from 1 to 100 and up. The serial number for Yavapai county is 5, and the license plate of Yavapai auto mobilist would look something like the above
 Approximately 5000 automobile licenses will be issued in Yavapai county this year, according to As sessor Gentry. Automobile owners not owning real estate must pay taxes on their automobile at the, time of taking out their license, or the license will not be issued. Those owners buying and selling real estate should remember that such real es- tate is security for automobile taxes, and should make sure before buying or selling that the property is not liable to automobile tax collection.
