windows. One thing that makes
the open car 50 free of annoying

him from death on the gallows.
Martinez had been sentenced to
death for murder at Pinar del Rio,
Cuba. Judges who had sentenced
met at 10 o'clock at night and went
over new evidence presented them.
At IL o'clock they arrived at de-
cision to appeal to the President to
commute the sentence to life i'm
prisonment. Over the telephone
from Havana the President said he
would have to have q personal
representative 90 over the evidence
at first hand before he would act.
Pinar del Rio is 10 kilimeters from
Havana, however. There were no
trains no airplane was available and
heavy rains, It was thought, had
made the roads almost impossible.
The execution was scheduled 70

and there seemed no way out OF the
dilemma. The Cuban department Of

balance and fell upon the blade,
making painful cash in his knee.
The wound was dressed by DR.. H.

able to hobble around on crutches.
