APPEAL is REFUSED

WASHINGTON, March, 15.-To
Gerald Chapman, the mail bandit,
under sentence to die April 6, today
was refused review of his case by
the supreme court.
Tried and convicted of murder in
Connecticut, while serving a federal
sentence at Atlanta, Chapman was
given a Communication of his federal
sentence by President Coolidge to en-
able the state to execute the death
sentence.
He contended without success in
the lower federal courts that the par
don could not be enforced against his
will and insisted upon being returned
to Atlanta to complete his federal
sentence for mail robbery.
He also asserted his trial in Con-
necticut had been illegal because of
his removal for trial there against
his will and that the sentence of
death was therefore invalid.

IF WE ONLY UNDERSTOOD

If we knew the cares and trials
Knew the efforts all in vain,
And the bitter disappointment
Understood the loss and gain
Would the grim eternal roughness
SEEM wonder just the same
Should we help where now we
hinder?
Should we pity where we blame?
All! we we judge each other harshly
Knowing not LIES hidden force;
Knowing not the fount of action.
Is less turbid at it's source;
Seeing not amid the evil
All the golden grains of good;
And we'd love each other better
If we only understood.
Could we judge al deeds by motives
That surround each others lives,
See the naked heart and spirit,
Know what spur the action gives
Often we should find it better,
Purer than we Judge we should,
We would love each other better
If we only understood.
