GRAY BEGS TO SEE
 FORMER PARAM0UR
Asks for Chance to Say Goodbye to Mrs. Snyder

New York, May Il PHHenry Judd Gray would like to bid fare we'll to his former sweetheart, Mrs. Ruth Snyder, before they die in the electric chair for the murder of her husband.
 Twice since his conviction Mon- day. Gray. whose story of the trage- dy as told from the witness stand directly involved Mrs. Snyder and contradicted her plea of innocence, has expressed a desire to jail at tendants to be permitted to sec his former mistress.
 Wants To Say Goodbye.
 q didn't want to hurt her." Gray told Henry Masser, under sheriff. 'The least you can do is let me see her and say goodbye.
 ''The states doing what it wanted with her and me-" Gray continued. "What reason is there for not let ting me see her now? I tell you don't want her to suffer. I'm sorry the verdict went so hard against her. I just couldn't do anything else. I told the truth. I got so I had to tell it. And now I feel bet ter. But I've got to see her once again. Can't you let me?'
 Extremely Unlikely.
 It is considered extremely unlike ly. however. that the corset sales mans wish will be granted. He and Mrs. Snyder will see each other in court Monday when they are to be sentenced. After that they will!

 Gray Is Satisfied Long Island City. N. Y., May Il
 tR - Judd Gray regards the ver-
 dict of first degree murder returned against him and Mrs. Ruth Snyder
 a just one. he told Under Sheriff
 Desmond today. If I had been sitting on the jury under similar circumstances, said the slayer Of
 Albert Snyder. T would have been
 forced to return the same verdict.
 The evidence warranted it." l Gray told Desmond he had found
 solace in reading the Bible and
 was resigned to the death sentence which Justice Scudder will impose
 Monday. Only the fact that he has
 been denied permission to see and talk with his former mistress. Mrs.
 Snyder. disturbed his tranquility. Mrs. Snyder was calmer today and more cheerful. Three matrons
 continued to guard her constantly. especially at meal times when it was feared the woman might harm herself with table instruments. She was handed her mail which had assumed tremendous bulk since the
 verdict. Many of the letters were sympathetic.

MAKE YOUR CHOICE

Discomfort comes often from

ii, too. Decision is hard. To make
a choice is frequently the last
thing we want to do. We put off
decision. We want what we want
without going through the process
of making a definite choice and
sticking to it. 1t is best to carry
water on one shoulder or the other.
1t never quite works to try to carry
water on both. The avoidance of
decision indicates a lazy mind and
a clear lack of courage.

We have new note in the
Christian world today, and that is
the note of unity. There never was
a more earnest effort than that be-
ing made now to find some way
which would enable the Christions
of different faiths to work to-
gether, live together, and, if ! may
uta the word, believe together.
The movement today is the reverse
Of that among early Christians. 1t
is not so much toward theological
unity as toward moral and relig-
ious unity
Tolerance is often mere snobbish-
ness. That is not enough. There is
something more than that needed,
and that something is cooperation
for major enthusiasm, for the
yoking of secondary enthusiasts
in order to further the primary en-
thusiasm. The way to get together
is to work together and live to-
gether.
The majority of people are relig-
ious tourists who look over other
persons belief and say, How
strange"

individual The purpose of the
conference is, not to make us be-
lieve that we are all identical, but
that the way of Christ is practica
ami that His message is divine.

pLEASANTVILLE

Someone may ask just what interest he or she is ex-
peced take in any movement lnaugiraed Tor the Dehe
fit of the City of Pleasantville
Whether we realize it or not, movement can be
inaugurated the City Of Peasanvle without affecting
in some manner, directly indirectly every man and
woman in the city.
That a movement for the betterment of
dton or other starts and fades for the lack of attention
and noursment any credit to the community Some
movements Of this have been started organi
cations perfected and much good work done and then
everything TO stop.
One of the real difficulties is that people who
should do take the interest their city that they
easily could and should.
AS a matter of fact organization start in the
City Of Pleasantvie and carry for short time
without making Feasanville better city in which to
reside result OF this effort.
This is not gainsayng the fact that PIeasantville is
splendid little city is 1t constantly growing larger
and constant need Of cooperative attention interest
support and personal sacrifice the part of
siderable number of people
Take for instance the discussion pecpitated by Mayor
jackson in the of the overhead ways from New
road Decatur and Verona All that needed
get these overhead crossings cooperation among
the people of the city, county and state who have the
authority to order these over heads built.
Ii might be said right here that of the drawbacks
the city the Indifference of the people toward efforts
made in behalf of the city whoenegect to express
appreciation of what has been done and is being done and
holders and other representatives further good work.
We may suspect that in some quarters there is absence
of cooperation due personalities which do not seem to
bendat least tremendously for the benefit OF the
city It is wise get who will work together, but 1t
is even more important keep them working.
Even in the matter of Peasantville Community
Week A PleasantvilIe Community Week will benefit just
about every person in Peasantville Community
Week will shake things up Bit and show that the business
men and businesswomen of the city and will work to-
gether.
Any effort the part of Pleasantvile business
man or busnesswoman to make Peasanville Community
Week success will be selfish effort either Shoppers
will save money the result of the merchandise sales
That opportunity much to every resident OF the
civ But ON the whole the entire community will be
bettered through cooperative undertaking.
The time of no man. woman too valuable, nor his
