BLACK HAND LETTER
DEMANDS 100000
OR LIFE WIDOW GUILD

Boston, May 4.-(P--Mrs. Curtis
Guild, widow Of former Governor
Guild of Massachusetts,, has received
a letter demanding 100000 or her
life, 1t was learned today. Mrs.
Guild was understood to have left
her Back Bay home and the police
declined to comment. Although the
entire affair was shrouded in mys-
terry, newspapers have learned that
the note was typical "black hand"
demand, typewriter by person
apparently possessing little knowl-
edge of English.
The missive was sent through the
mails and directed Mrs. Guild to be
on hand at a certain time and place
with the money in large bills. The
writer warned of dire consequences
if the police were informed and stat
ed that Mrs. Guild was wealthy
enough to pay the sum demanded
without suffering financially.
In addition to her prominence as
the wife of the late Governor Guild,
who prior to his election was am
bassador to Russia, Mrs. Guild has
been active in The social and politi-
cal world. When former Senator
Walsh was governor he appointed
her to the state board of charities.
In 1920 she was presidential elector
and she is a member of the National
and the Massachusetts Women's Re-
publican Club. the Society of May
flower Descendants, the Colonial
Danes of America, and the Daugh-
tiers of the American Revolution.

danger of the bishop becoming "a mere
magistrate in administering discipline

Little Affected
BY London Strike

New York. May 4.-(By The As
ISOLATED Press)-The New York
securities market received the news
of the beginning of the general
strike In Great Britain with COM
parative calm.
Stock prices sold off to points
at the opening, but later rallied and
actually closed higher on the day.
Bond prices yielded only slightly.
Trading in stocks ran just above one
million shares, or 100000 less than
that of yesterday.
Wheat prices, always the most
sensitive to disturbing foreign news,
because of the huge exports of that
commodity. broke 2 IL to 4 IL
cents a bushel. and then rallied
slightly. Reports of favorable
weather likely to benefit the spring
crop, also were factors in the SELL
ing.
Wall Street generally was of the
opinion that the strike would be of
short duration, two weeks being
widely regarded as the limit. Private
cable advices received here from
foreign bankers indicated that the
news during the early part of the
strike might be disquieting but held
out hope that the British govern
ment would quickly develop and In
dustrial organization capable of
dealing with the situation.

James, another negro. He was con-
victed of shooting James in his
sleep in Wilmington last August

ton in this state, and the first time
a negro paid the death penalty.
Stewart. escorted by two officers,
entered the death chamber at two
minutes after midnight. walking I'M
supported. He gave a frightened
glance when placed in the electric
chair. and asked:
where's my friend, the sheriff?
want to shake hands with the sher-
iff."
Sheriff John r. Fairbairn of Mid
dlesex county, one of the official
witnesses, then shook hands with a
murmured exchange of good-byes.
The doomed man then shook hands
with Warden William Hendry. with
few words of thanks for every
thing you have done for me here"
The straps were then adjusted,
three successive charges were sent
through the wires, and a little more
than nine minutes after the first
shock the attending doctors pro-
nounced Stewart dead.
The body was then removed to the
Northern mortuary to await claims
of relatives.

testant chaplain of the prison. spent
half an hour in conversation with the
prisoner.

an appeal for a reprieve for Richard

occasion to decry what he called "a

one can commit a crime nowadays
and escape punishment" The need
of the hour is obedience to law. he
added.
