New York. May If P-The New York American today quoted Flor ence Bain Raymond, New York ac- tress as saying she is the wife of Raymond, slain actor and that he and Dorothy Macakye, who claims to be his widow, were never legally married.

 Florence Raymond has retained Nathan Lieberman as her attorney, and expressed willingness to testify at kelly's trial and also at that of Miss Mackaye who is accused of concealing facts concerning the kill ing.
 A certified copy of the marriage certificate which Mrs. Raymond says was issued to her was exhibit ed in Licberman's office, together with a telegram from Asa Reyes, Los Angeles prosecuting attorney. The message read
 Please wire details of marital Ray Raymond. Date of marriage, where and when it took place. Please wire if any legal steps have ever been taken to dissolve their marriage and if so. when?"

GRAY GIVES THANKS
 FOR PUBLIC'S PRAYERS
Resigned to His Doom Wants to Help Fellow
 Men Go Right

New York, May 14 R1The sen. tences of death hanging over the heads of Mrs. Ruth Brown Snyder and Henry Judd Gray have affected them in antipodal manner. it was revealed today.
 Gray. perusing his Bible in jail in 1 Long Island City, sees himself "one of the best examples of what whis- key. lust and sin will ultimately lead one into" H eis described as re- signed to his doom.
 Mrs. Snyder. the Queens Village housewife who attracted Gray, he says, from the ways of the righteous" sees herself victim of injustice and is prepared to fight against the death sentence.
 Justice Townsend Scudder, who imposed the sentences on Mrs. Shy der and Gray, today was quoted by the New York American as opposed to the death penalty in general.
 What good" he was quoted as asking in an interview" will result from sending these people to the chair? Would it not be better to confine them to an institution where they may engage in profitable work?
 Tt is true am opposed to cap ital punishment. in any form. But. If the wisdom of the people de- mands 1t, I believe the execution should follow more closely the ver- dict.
 There has developed a coddling of criminals, and in capital cases execution is delayed for months and sometimes years, until there sur rounds the criminal an aspect of quasi i-martyrdom.
 However. believe the Good Lord gave life and do not believe we have the right to take 1t away. These are my personal views and in no sense reflect upon the verdict of the jury that convicted these two persons. I believe the jury did their duty in an admirable fashion and upheld the laws of the state as charged"
 Gray's picture of himself as q "best example" was sketched In a
 T wish to take this opportunity of thanking the many kind Chris tians from all over the country who took time to pray for me and to send me letters of sympathy and literature of faith. Would that had time to answer each one. But your efforts have not been in vain, for l have been saved through our Lord, Jesus Christ, praise be to God, amen.
 May I thank you also for the tender mercy you have shown my little family. whose suffering has been so acute.
 Tt has been deeply appreciated

The Girl Scout leaders training
course started Monday night with
goodly representation OF Ely and
Section 80 women attending. The
complete list of members of the
training class will be an
nounced next week. Scout get ac-
quanted games were played, Mrs.
Barker talked on scouting giving an
introduction to the course. Patrols
were formed; knot instruction was
carried out through these groups and
later the new patrol leaders had
ample opportunity to prove their
ability to instruct in several knot
tying relays. Several songs were
learned and the opportunity to rest
was gratefully accepted after the hill
arity of the previous games. The
training course conducted by Leona
Anderson, the director, and Mrs. W..
Barker, the commissioner assisting,
will be a practical example of Girl
Scouting in action. All the instruc-
ton, play-time and other activity will
be conducted from a scout point of
view and by route of that tested
theory-The Play Way.
The method used in a course of
this kind is that of the troop as dis
tinguished from the classroom. The
students will be given chance to
perform, to lead, and to demonstrate.
By so doing, it is hoped they will

JAMES FORREST RICH

When Jim Rich died a choice spirit
left this old earth. His splendid at
titude toward human existence in our
world indicated the lofty and sub
lime leaning Of noble soul. And
what noble creation he was; what
a great impress he made upon his
fellows. what lingering memories he
has left behind him. His life was not
SO long when measured by years, but
he lived greatly and every moment
Of his life was that of a real gentle
man.
When the sun was shining and the
weather clear for his friends he was
light-hearted, cheerful and bouyant.
But it was in the hour when his
friends were in the depths, when
gloom lowered over those whom he
loved, when the skies were darken-
ed to those that had his affection,
that he showed out resplendently,
for it was in that hour that
he rose to sublime heights, then it
was that he was at their side to il
lumine the darkness, with his sym
pathy, his wit and his optimism.
But nGw Jim Rich is no more. He
