Illinois Again Moves to
 Execute Russell Scott

Chicago, June 2S (UP)-The state will make another move for the execution of Russell Scott, former Canadian millionaire convicted ot murder, tomorrow.
 George F. German, first assistant states attorney, announced he would go before Chief Justice Will liam J. Lindsay of the criminal court and ask that sanity hearing for Scott be set immediately.
 Scott. four times saved from the gallows, was found insane and la ter found sane by sanity commits sions. The decision which found him sane was appealed and the state supreme court last week ruled in favor of a new sanity hearing.
 In case he is found sane Scott must be sentenced to be hanged in accordance with the verdict against him in 1924. He was convicted Of killing Joseph Maurer. a drug store clerk, in a holdup.
