MOVIE HOLDUP
KILLER TO DIE
Silver Sentenced For
Death of Ft. Worth
Film Treasurer

FORT WORTH, July 3O.-tPD-J. r.
Silver, 25. was sentenced today TO
die August 81 for Staying Roscoe Will
son, Majestic theater treasurer. Sill
ver's mother and wife heard the SEN
tence passed.
After sentence had been passed, the
condemned man reiterated that he
did not fire the shot that killed Will
son. He was returned to his cell in
the county jail. and probably will be
taken TO Huntville early Tuesday
morning TO await execution.
Setting the date for Silver's execu-
tion for August 81 virtually blasts
the hope he held that the court Of
criminal appeals would intervene in
his behalf. The court already had
denied a rehearing in the case. At
torneys for Silver then filed a sec
ond motion for rehearing. When this
motion was filed, however, the court
had begun its vacation. and will not
reconvene until October /.
With the final hope of court action
gone Silver's attorneys are basing
their fight to save the doomed man
from the chair on the hope that Gov
ernor Moody will commute his SEN
tence to life Imprisonment. Petit
tions asking this are being circulated.

and will surely take up one or the
other.

There IS only one stipulation. sc-
cording 10 the worlds informant.
That is that the business which calls
Tunney from the ring must be Gre
ative. The champion, it was re-
marked. therefore will not consider
buying a seat on the stock exchange
or becoming a broker.
The New York Times today quotes
Billy Gibson. Tunney's manager, as
saying that Tunney is through with

and manager Of boxers.

ceived S250,000. But in the Chicago

On the last Saturday in July,

Valley crop at $4,000 bales. Refer
ence to the files Of The Herald
shows the forecast.
Last Saturday-the last Saturday
in July. 192s-Mr. Boyd found that
$4,000 bales had been ginned. He
estimates the 1928 crop for the Val
ley as about one-third ginned. indi-
eating a yield for the season OF
something like 100000 bales. barsng
