COUNSEL MAKING
HERCULEhN EFFORT
FOR LIFE PAPPAS

Boston, May Paul Pappas, con-
yicted murderer who protests his in
nocence, repricved at deaths door six
weeks ago. was again in the shadow
OF the electric chair tonight, central
figure in a situation without prece-
dent in this state. Although the court
has ordered his execution sometime
after midnight, and today turned
down the latest of several motions in
his behalf, it was understood that
clectrocution would be deferred at
least until tomorrow. Then Governor
Cox and his council will be asked to
extend Pappas' life again that fur
Their efforts in his behalf by appeal to
the supreme court may be made.
The unprecedented feature Of the
situation developed today when coun-
sci for the condemned man brought
out in open court that the indictment
against Pappas had been mol pressed
Saturday by District Attorney
Thomas c. O'Brien insofar as it
charged murder in the first degree.
This action, the formal motion stated
was taken after conference in
chambers by the district attorney.
John p. Feeney. counsel for Pappas
and Judge Heating, at which the
nolle Prosequi was agreed to on the
ground that Mr.. O'Brien was con-
WINGED that the killing of Alice Ar
senault, of which Pappas was con-
victed, was an act of hot blood, rather
than one Of generalization. Judge
Kea%ng subsequently refused to rati-
fy the nolle prosequi because, 1t was
understood, there was no precedent
for such abandonment OF a charge
fter jury had declared guilty.
Mr.. Feeney. however. contended
that the nolle prosequi stood. and
moved for revocation OF the death
sentence. After conferences in
chambers. in the court room, at the
state horse with the governor. and in
the lobby, Judge Heating dismissed
the motion without hearing argu-
ments. He gave counsel the custom
airy permission to file a bill of excep-
lions to this and other rulings and
arranged to sit here tomorrow instead
of at Springfield. that he might pass
on the. bill. Attorney Feeney an
nounced that whether the court al
lowed or disallowed the exceptions,
they would be taken to the supreme
court.
He made another trip to the State
house to try and obtain from Gov
ernor Cox q reprieve for the con-
demned man. The governor. however,
refused to act at this time, but 1t was
indicated that the matter might be
taken up by the council at the regu-
lar meeting tomorrow. Meanwhile It
was upofiacislly said that no attempt
would le made, TO execute the death
sentence tonight az provided in the
court order. Pappas had been moved
back to the death house during the
day.

Travels Small Brooks
from Bond Brook to
CObbOssee by Canoe

From the kennebec river around
into CobbosseeceRtee lake by canoe
over a route that 50 far as Is known
has never been traversed before, and
in all probability will not often again
be navigahle is the trip made Tues
day by Conrad Bragg of this city. 1t
was because the small streams and
brooks were swollen abnormally as a
result of the heavy rains of the last
few days, that the unique course was
possible with several short carrys
for a total Of between 2 and 2 1-2
miles.
Mr.. Bragg put his canoe into the
water at Bond Brook, where it flows
into the kennebec, then padding up
this brook and it's tributaries by way
of the Puddle Dock road to Manches-
ter, he followed down the small
stream that flows south from Man
chester to CobbOsseecontee. Bragg
then crossed the lake to Captain Per-
nette's landing completing trip that
must have been a new one amongst
Kennebec county canoe routes.

were made years ago when the duties
Of justice OF the peace were very
different and more extensive TENN At
the present time; then justices OF
tho peace had Jurisdictions to issue

Justices, but now the only duties Of
= justice OF the peace are not judi
cial but merely ministerial the same
az those Of a notary public.
1.-THE reason given in the cases re-
ferred to forbidding the offices In
compatible was that the holder could
not in every instance discharge the
duties of each. That rule establish
cd by the cases mentioned is no lon
ger q valid one because of the change
In jurisdiction OF justices of the

"A similar question has arisen re-
garding the Offices of State highway
