RICHMOND, Va, Oct, 19.-Told that his wife, Mrs. Mamie Blackmon, 23. had but little chance to recover from pistol shot wounds which he IS alleged to have inflicted at their home here Friday night in fit Of jealousy, Milton Blackmon, mechanic, 27, former ly of Eufaula. Ala, pleaded today with attendants at the hospital, where he is also under treatment for wounds which he is alleged to have inflicted upon him self after shooting his wife, that he be permitted to see her, just for a little while before she passed away.
 The two are in different sections of the hospital and the doctors deemed it best not to yield to his plea.
 In a dying declaration to police early yesterday, Blackmon insisted that his wife shot him as well as herself, hut when examination of her wounds disclosed that one pistol bullet entered her back, they put little stock in his story.
 In addition to shooting himself in the head several times, Blackmon is alleged to have stabbed himself around the heart twice with ice pick, pune turing his left lung. Doctors hold out hopes for his recovery. None of the bullets fired into his head pierced the skull Examination disclosed jealously of another by Blackmon was behind the affair. Police in quiry indicated Blackmon came here a few years ago from Eufaula. his parents, Mir and Mrs. Eugene Black mon. coming with him. His wife is n former Petersburg, Va, girl.

CHURCHES URGED TO HELP BETTER LIFE IN PRISON
Pastors Asked To Talk On Subject On
 October 26
lBy Associated Pressl

ALBANY, Oct. 19.-Appealing to the churches of the United States to exercise a greater and more constant influence upon the moral and religious work of penal institutions, Frank Moore of Railway, N.' J., president of the American Prison association, today sent out a request that every minister in the land have prison work as a sub iect of at least one service on Sunday, Oct. 26. The action of the ass0cia- tion's president, made public here, was in accord with the resolution passed at the 54th annual meeting of the organ ization which reaffirmed previous ac- tion in designating the fourth Sunday of October of each year as Prison Sun day.
 In his message President Moore quoted statistics to show that crime in this country is increasing to an alarm ing degree. He pointed out that the census shows that from 1904 to 1922 this increase was at the rate of 5O per cent, and that every year approximate ly one out of every ,666 citizens of the country greets the New Year in prison
 If men in prisons are going to be free from sin and from the letters that bind the1l," MT. Moore said, "the churches must take an interest Tn the prison problems of the country. It is not a question that must be worked out in the prisons.
 "There are many men in charge of the prisons of the country who are anxious to do moral work with their charges, but are not able because they do not have men and women who would be willing to work with them in reach ing the individual offender. The head of a penal institution with hundreds, and it may be thousands, under him has so many duties that personal work with each individual is physical i'm. possibility. The church could be of valuable help to him if it would only offer it's assistance.
 "A new light is needed in prisons. It is the light of religion, the fourda- ton of morality, that should be more fully let into prisons to dispel moral darkness"
