Governor GRANTS
Condemned BOYS
RESPITE To JAN. 3

Gervis BloodWorth and Willie
Jones, both of Taylor county, who
were sentenced to be hanged Novem-
Der % for the murder of Howard f.
Underwood, a travelling salesman, in
1928, have been granted a respite
until January 8, 1925, by Governor
Clifford Walker.
The respite, signed Saturday noon
was granted because OF the illness
Of Homer Beeland, chief counsel for
the condemned youths, who had
planned to make a final appeal to
the governor for Communication of the
sentence to life Imprisonment.
The men are confined il the Mus
cogee county Jail at Columbus, Ga.
Evidence at their trial and state
ments from the boys show that Mr..
Underwood picked them UP on the
road in his automobile when they
asked for ride, ana that they shot
him from behind and robbed him.
The respite granted by Governor
Walker came following Il brief petit
ton presented to the chief executive
by attorneys for the defense, Homer
Beeland, C. w. Fay and w. E..
Steed, which petition reviewed the
case briefly, and revealed that a pc
tition was now before the Georgia
prison commission asking for a re-
view of the case, and that the sen

The petition further showed that
Beeland had been confined to his
bed due to illness for the past ten
days, and that he was unable to pre-
pare the petition as fully as it
should be-"
The two boys, Who were arrested

lonely road in Taylor county on De
cember 8, 1928, were indicted jointly
on December 10, and on December
IL were placed on trial in the lay
lor county superior court and found
guilty of first degree murder.
Attorneys for the defense filed mo-
ton for a new trial shortly after
wards, but this was denied by the
trial court, and later an appeal en-
tered in the supreme court, which
tribunal sustained the conviction of
the trial court The two youths
were resentenced before Judge

set for November %.

What's more, says Wegener, the

shown Greenland to be moving west
at the rate of 1 5 meters a year.

Wegener is sure it is gradually shift

to prove it.

Everything for the convenience of
the motorist has been looked after as
East Lake park makes its bid to break
the crowd record this afternoon. A
sprinkling and oiling system has been
Installed which will allay the dust in
front Of the park entrance, and ample
parking space for several thousand cars
will be found along the curb and in,
vacant lots which win be turned over
to the, Automobiles for this afternoon.
OF course it would take acres after
acres to handle all the cars which will
unload the happy thousands at the park
this afternoon, but it is pointed out by
the management that park visitors may
park along the curb looking down First
avenue, on either side, toward town.
The same applies to First avenue above
the park. Then there are many vacant
lots in which motorists will park, and
any number of side streets that motor
cars may be parked in while the occu-
pants thereof decamp for the afternoon
an enjoy the fun program IN the park.
1t is understood that in order that
the crowds may be handled to best adj

will put into service many extra cars

that some Of the. specials will carry

STAR AT STRAND
Supported BY Richard Dix
And Tully Marshall In
The Stranger

Critics and theatre-goers, who have
been clAmorihg for something different
in the way of motion picture story ma
terial and plot development are certain
to welcome Joseph Henabery's produc-
ton. The Stranger -
The original story from which the
screen play of "The Stranger" was
adapted by Edfrid Bingham. was writ
ten by no less an authority of novel
plot construction and characterization
than John Galsworthy, famous British
novelist and playwright under the. title
.sThe First and the Last"
1t was the first publication of 1t in
the Cosmopolitan Magazine that at
tracted the attention Of Joseph Hena-
berry and paved the way for its present
presentation on the screen.
If GaIsworthy had deliberately set
out to avoid all Of the conventions Of
story telling he would have difficulty
in finding a better theme or more
gripping series Of situations and the
adaptors Of the story have utilized all
three OF GAlsworthy's treatments of the
basic story in constructing their screen
play. Situations that are intensely
real and vital but startling, at variance
with the situations Of the conventional
drama were the things that attracted
Henabery's, attention at the time OF his
first reading and the same UNIQUE quail
ity is destined to be one OF the salient
features of the finished picture.
