ASK
FOR CLE|NENCY IN
SATTERF|ELD CASE

A respite for J. B. Satterfield until
after the Christmas holidays was
asked of Governor Walker Thurs
day by George e. Cryer, mavor of
Los Angeles, Cal. where SatterfieId
formerly lived. The governor will
take no action in the case at the
present time, as it is still in the Full
ton superior courts on a motion for a
new trial. Satterfiell was sentenced
to be hanged November for the
murder of his brother-in-law, B. Fl.
Hart, but the motion for a new trial
automatically postpones the date of
execution
The telegram of the mayor of Los
Angeles was as follows:
"In behalf of Los Angeles rela-
tives Of J. B. Satterfield, under SEN
tence of death, please allow me to
urge that you grant a repricve in
this case until after the holidays, to
give time for friends to present GER
tain eXtenuating circumstances that
might call for executive clemency or
cause the court to grant new trial.
From representations made to me
here, I believe you would be fully
justified in such action"
"Mr. Satterf1eld's many friends
here join in a heartfelt plea for
him." reads another telegram re-
ceived by Governor Walker, signed
by Mrs. Laura Seagraves and Miss
Margaret Uhde, Of 3409 West Slau-
son street, Los Angeles. There is
no future for his little girl without
the one she loves best in the world
her dad The thought of facing
the long years without him caused
her. to disappear and when she
heard of his sentence, she tried to
end her life. Even in her pain, her
one thought is: oh, won't they
save my dad?'"
Elizabeth Satterfeld, the girl re-
ferred to, is in the county hospital
at Los Angeles, recovering from the
effects of taking poison. She also
telegraphed Governor Walker
Wednesday. pleading for stay of
execution, and the governors sec
rotary wired her that the courts had
held up the infection of the penalty.
Murphy M. Holloway, attorney
for Satterf1eld, stated Thursday that
the motion for a new trial in the
case probably will be argued next
week, as he will not be ready this
week

Stephen N. Weld: Despite our expecta-

remains that purchases seem advisable only
on fairly substantial downward reaction
or in case of definite revival of trade.
Hubbard Brothers: 1t is our feeling that
we have not vet reached the figure which
will entirety discount the situation.
Hentz: The market looks stale and with
out some new buying incentive a further up
turn now seems improbable.
Orvis Brothers. Cotton's inherent strength
