SANDS 0F LIFE RUNNING SWIFTLY
Chapman Sees Outside for What
 Probably Is Last Time

Wethersficld Prison, Conn, April 5 PI-The sands In the life glass of Gerald Chapman, murderer and mail robber. were running swiftly, per ceptibly and almost surely to their end today. Measured in hours there were but 14 left when the board of pardons, his sole earthly hope for mercy. met to hear counsel for the condemned man plead that life sim- prisonment should be the measure of atonement to state and society for Chapman's crime of murder.
 Chapman himself was there, Gov ornor John II. Trumbull having or dere1 his presence. Yesterday the governor had said that Chapman would not be produced before tho board which has been a time-hon- ored custom in Connecticut. Shortly after the board met the governor ordered Warden Scott to produce the man. that he might in person hear his counsel and possibly make his own plea for mercy. For the condemned man the early part of the day was no different than the many which have preceded it in his years stay in the prison. In keeping with , prison discipline, no information was given out as to Chapman's condition. This morning there was oppor- tunity for Chapman 10 have his usual walk with a guard. Then his | breakfast, as usual. was brought in 1 from the officers dining table. | There were no cares on his mind as 10 his possessions within the cell. because his sole article of personal property was book of synonyms. q gift to him months ago and which was his most used book.
 But the loneliness Of the morn ing vas broken by tho summons which took him before the board of pardons.
 From his cell on the second floor of the hospital wing in the west cell house. down through the chapel and into thc guard room and up into the board room came tha man in his prison Farb 1t was possibly his 'as. opportunity 10 look out npon he world which is nuttinE on thn
 carb of sprinetlm". From the bo2rl room Chapman couId look out into 'ho oImr of the prison grounds.

COLD and Rains
DELAY THRESHING

HELENA.-Cold weather charac-
terized the week ending September
IL, which, while favorable for growth
of winter wheat and rye, was detri-
mental to corn and flax needing rip
ening weather and generally delayed
late harvest and threshing operations,
according to the weekly crop report
issued by the state and federal de-
partments of agriculture.
Light to heavy rainfall was noted
from practically all counties report
ing with sub-normal temperatures.
Threshing was delayed generally and
in Blaine, Pondera, Saltwater and
Teton counties damage by sprouting
in shock is feared unless weather
clears. The bean crop is about three
fOurths pulled in Yellowstone, but
very little has been threshed to dSte.
Late corn and flax in northern couh-
ties were likewise delayed by the un-
favorable growing weather, although
have as yet escaped any serious frost
damage.
The week was favorable for fall
plOwing and seeding as well as for
growth of winter wheat and rye. The
sugar beet crop generally is reported
good with harvest drawing close.
