That was at Has.
But at 1922 newspapermen had
received the news and before that
Warden William Hendry had been
told. The fact of the respites. how
ever, was not officially announced
until 11:45.
The diverse announcements from
the warden's office OF the Charles
tonw state prison and the resultant
confusion among nearly two score
newspa permen and telegra pliers
who had been assigned to cover
the triple execution, created one of
the most unusual scenes in Massa-
chusetts death house history.
At 1922 Warden Hendry burst
out of private telephone booth to
announce, We'll, boys. there's a
respite for two anyway"
He started for the death house,
apparently to tell the prisoners the
good news, was recalled to the tele-
phone for a moment and sang out,

possible court action was yet open
to their attorneys.
Mr.. Hill had made such represen-
tations to the governor and had
convinced him that there remained
a possibility that the case could be
carried to the supreme court. The
second bright spot Of the day came
when Justice Sanderson announced
after hearing both sides of the case
that he would rule today on the
question Of allowing exceptions to
his denial of the right to be carried
to the entire bench.
Under Massachusetts, statute this
is not nossible unless the justice
who has made the adverse decision
so DEGREES.
In the meantime the governor had
summoned a council of former at
torney generals OF the state. He
was closeted with them for nearly
two hours.
Shortly thereafter the executive
council met but, because the COVER
nor was not yet ready, 1t recessed
until later in the afternoon. While
the governor was explaining the
newest developments in the case.
MIR. Hill was In Beverley presenting
his plea to Mr.. Justice Holmes.
Hope Once Given Up.
When he emerged from that con-
ference, a cryptic announcement
seemed to indicate that hope was
gone. mo human power-at the
present time-can stop them" he
replied in response to a question
whether the doomed men would go
to the chair at midnight.
But later he qualified his state
ment by saying, "Of course, the
governor cay grant a respite ind
the supreme court can act"
Hill sped from Beverly back to
Boston and early in the night was
brought by the governor before the
executive council to explain his re-
quest for a further stay Of execu-
ton.
There were indications that some
members of the council were reluct-
ant to approve of any stay but
eventually all voted yes.
While at the state house the gov
ernor and his advisors were occu-
pied with the weighty problem Of
deciding whether to grant the inter-
nationally known prisoners a sec
ond respite, and at the Charlestown
state prison an army Of guards was
taking up post on the walls and IN
the adjoining streets in anticipation
of possible trouble. police elsewhere
were coping with disturbance Of an

OF them freshly arrived in the city,
took up self-assigned picket duty
along Beacon street in front Of the

day other protestants, similarly
equipped with derisive placards and
black armbands had been arrested.
As on Monday, exactly 80 OF the
pickets were taken into Gust dy and
number of others dispersed by the
police. Three Of those held on the
previous day were convicted in

Mr.. II. G. Wells, the we'll known
English writer, in his latest book has
the following to say about card players:
"Cards! The marvel of cards! All over
the world millions of people drawing
nearer to death and nothingness were
pursuing the chances of the four thir-
teens: Bridge, Whist, Nap, Skat, a
hundred forms of it. Directly they could
get in out of the wet and dark, they sat
down to that sort of thing, to being
endlessly surprised, delighted, indig-
nant, and despondent by chances that
any one who chose to sit down to it
could work out and tabulate in a week."
While the writer doesn't know Mr.
Wells, he is willing to wager that he
isn't a bridge player. No one who has
ever played and enjoyed bridge would
write such nonsense. Cards are a diver
sion, and diversion is just as necessary
as business or religion or any of the
other serious pursuits of life. Talley-
rand, the great diplomat, once said
that the card player was sure Of a hap
py old age, and the writer agrees with
him. Bridge, the greatest OF all card
, games, is always a Joy and its endless
variety is always full of charm. But to
get the greatest pleasure from any game
you must play well and to play we'll,
you must improve your game.

How far is it from New York to Chicago?
900 miles by the New York Central Railroad.
How fast does the goth Century Ltd. traveIp
Its average speed is 48 miles per hour between
New York and Chicago
How many engines are used in drawing the
Century from New York to Chicago?
Four engines, each one costing $61,5OO, are
needed for the task. Despite the fact that these
engines have fewer moving parts than a Stude-
baker car and are driven steel rails by expert
engineers, they are less than 500 miles on any
trip, then go in the roundhouse for service.
How do Commander prices compare with
other cars of similar power?
No other car of equal or greater rated horse
power sells for less than double the price of The
Commander. To match The Commander in
power you must pay from $4,000 to $4,000.
Why are Commander prices so low?
Volume production on One-Profit basis gives
you a truly great automobile-enormous power
and luxurious comfort at a moderate price. That
is why the Studebaker Big Six outsells the COM
bined totals of all other cars in the world of
equal or greater rated horsepower.
Milford chronicle., 1927-04-22

Was it a strictly stock car?
Before and Immediately following the test, repre-
sentatives of the American Automobile Associa-
ton checked The Commander thoroughly and
made affidavit that it was strictly stock car in
every respect. Studebaker factories are working
to capacity building this identical model.
Was the car stripped
No, it carried full equipment, including a spare
tire. Practically all the records which were
smashed by The Commander had been made by
open racing models stripped to the limit.
What condition was the car in at the end of
the 5000 miles?
To demonstrate its condition, Hartz put it
around the track several times at the rate of 20
miles per hour, Immediately after the five thou
sandth mile had been run. Its condition seemed
to indicate that it might have continued indef-
initely.
What is 5000 miles?
It is substantially the distance from New York
to Constantinople; the distance from Nome,
Alaska to Mexico City; the distance from Lon
don to Bombay, India; the distance from Cali
fornia to Japan; the distance from the Panama
Canal to Bordeaux, France.
