Woman Denies Intent

sentenced to thirty years imprison-
ment for an assault upon a white
woman and pardoned after nearly
thirteen years upon the sworn state
ment OF the woman herself that he
was innocent, Zen Bess, q negro, was
back behind the bars today while
state officials considered what could
be done about a pardon issued under
a Misrepresentation.
Taking the woman's affidavit in
good faith, Governor John G. Rich
ards said he felt he could not have
acted otherwise. but now, the woman
declares in a second affidavit that
she never intended to say Bess was
was not guilty. She cannot read or
write, beyond signing her name, and
says that in the original instrument
she intended merely to convey her
forgiveness to Bess and thought that
was what the document said when she
signed IL.
The second affidavit was presented
in the course Of a grand Jury investi-
cation ordered by Governor Richards.
The jury reported yesterday that
there was nothing in the evidence"
to support the contention made in
the negro's appeal for clemency that
he had been wrongfnlly imprisoned.
County authorities have referred
the case back to the governor and
the attorney general of the state ask
ing advice as to what steps should
now be taken. The pardon, which
was issued two months ago, Is held to
be irrevocable, and il is contended
that to bring Bess TO trial again
would constitute double jeopardy"

smouldering issue, brought at times
to a flare of flame, series of de-
velopments both here and in New
York state has served to center at
tention on the question at a time
when the Smith men particularly
we're hoping to avoid any open rift
on the subject.
IL was one OF Smiths foremost
supporters, Norman Z. Mack, ma
tional committeeman from New
York, who inadvertently opened up
anew the prohibition discussion. Less
than a week in advance Of the gath
ering of the national democracy, he
issued a statement in which he de-
clared that Governor Smith was op-
posed to prohibition and stood for
temperance.
Discussions Grow
This was accepted in some quarters
as an expression of the governors
own views and, while Mack denied
this, explaining that he voiced only
his own opinion, the discussions had
gathered headway with full prospect
that they would increase In intensity
as convention time approached.
The governor himself got into the
controversy during the day, deeIar-
ing in New York City in response to
a question that his belief that there
should be amendment of the present
prohibition provisions had not chang
ed. This was seized upon by the
drys, who already are arriving here
in force to demand an ultra-dry
plank in the party platform and to
oppose the nomination Of any wet
candidate.
While this turn OF pre-convention
events appeared to give some con-
Germ TO the Smith supporters, they
still expressed full confidence that
their favorite would be nominated
early in the balloting. In contrast
with their confidence, Smith oppon-
ents clung to the hope they could
prevent his nomination.

Smith to muster 733 1-3 Of the l.1O0

BLAME DEATH
ON Cash LACK
Woman Killed Chicago
Druggist in Anger,
Police Aver

LOS ANGELES, June 22.-CP)-
Chagrin and anger Of a wife at hav-
ing married a man whose wealth fell
short Of the million she had ex-
pected, was the motive advanced by
police today for the mysterious slay-
ing Of John I. Glab, former Cicero,
ILL.,. druggist.
The theory was advanced by Cap
tain of Detectives James Bean, in
charge or the homicide squad, in
summing up the results Of the po-
police investigation into the life of
Glab and his young wife, Hazel Glab,
who is accused of his murder.
"The murder was the result OF
anger when Mrs. Glab learned the
man she married was not the mill
lionaire he had led her to believe" /"
said Captain Bean. "Our investiga-
tion has shown that motive present. -
Bean said that several persons
were sought in connection with the
killing and that there were 'three or
four others Of whom we have not
laid hands yet"
II wouldn't be surprised" he con-
tinued, IF two or three or a score
OF people who would be glad to see
Glab killed hadn't already left
town.
With Mrs. Glab accused OF the
murder is her 17-year-old niece.
