Pleas Judge Charles Bell today de-
MED the petition Of George Remus,

NEW YORK, Jan. 6.-Counsel for
Mrs. Ruth Snyder today paved the
way for a last minute petition in
Supreme Court for a stay of exc
cution designed to delay the sched-
uled electrocution of the murderess
next Thursday night.
The unexpected move came in a
stipulation arranged by Edgar F.
Hazelton, her chief counsel, with an
attorney for the Prudential Insur-
ance Company, which is seeking
cancellation of policies aggregating
$95,000 on the life of Albert Sny-
der, who was slain by his wife and
her lover, Judd Gray.
Hazelton has applied for a Jury
trial Of the Prudential's suit. The
stipulation, filed quietly with the
Supreme Court clerk, adjourns argu-
ment on the application for jury
trial until Jan. IS. Mrs. Snyder and
Gray are condemned to die during
the week Of Jan. 8. The accepted
date is the night of Jan. IL.
Hazelton now is prepared to go
before Supreme Court Justice Levy
and ask for a stay of execution on
the ground that if a jury trial is
granted in the Prudentials suit, Mrs.
Snyder will be a material witness.

Ruth Fears as Two Die
By United Press

By United Press
OSSINING, N. Y, Jan. 6.-Mrs.
Ruth Snyder entered what probably
will be the seventh remaining day
of her life after night Of fear,
during which two men were electro
cuted in the death chamber close
to her solitary cell.
Charles Doran and Louis Mason,
murdererS, were electrocuted. Mrs.
Snyder and Henry Judd Gray, her
lover, who joined her in killing her
husband, are next on the list, due
to go to the same chair next Thurs
day night.
Although there was no sound and
40 word Of the Doran and Mason
executions, Mrs. Snyder and Gray,
as well as every other Swakeful in
mate, were aware Of the second the
powerful current was turned on
that ended the mems lives.
Corridor Lights Grow DINNER
In their dark cells they watched
the dim corridor lights grow dim
mer when the electricity required
for the chair drank up the current.
Prison officials are strict at such
times, and there was no way OF
learning how Mrs. Snyder acted
during the executions.
Doran had been denied clemency
shortly after the hearing in Albany
Thursday, at which Governor AL
Smith had listened with an air
that seemed to spell doom to pleas
for clemency for Mrs. Snyder and
Gray.
Doran, only 81, went to the chair
first. He was convicted of murder
during holdup in Albany. He was
accompanied to the chair by the
Rev. John P. McCaffrey, Catholic
chaplain. Doran was wooden and
expressionleSs as he looked around
the room before being strapped into
the chair.
Good by" Says Gray
Mason, a 30-year-old Buffalo Ne
gro, was brought in a few minutes
later accompanied by DR.. Peterson.
the Protestant chaplain. AS he sat
in the chair, Mason cried:
Good by, boys, I'm innocent"
Gray had said good by to the two
condemned men earlier in the day,
although Mrs. Snyder was spared the
ordeal of even seeing them.
They were marched past Gray's
cell in the mems corridor on their
way to the prison barber to be
shaved for the death chair.
Gray reached his hands through
the cell door and said emotionally:
"Good-by, Good-by.'
The only comment heard from
Mrs. Snyder was when she remarked
to matron:
1.-TWO more going and no hope,
apparently"

CITY JUDGES CHANGE
Cameron on Whites Bench;
May Be Permanent.

Possibility Of one Democratic and
one Republican judge sitting on the
municipal benches at the police sta
ton, where all arrested are first ar
raigned, loomed today when newly
appointed Judge G. r. Cameron,
Democrat, took the bench in Court
Three Of Municipal Judge Dan v.
White, Republican.
Governor Jackson appointed Cam
eron to the two-year unfinished
term in Court One to succeed Judge
Thomas E. Garvin, who resigned to
accept a four-year appointment to
Court Two. The bench in Court
Two was made vacant when Judge
Fred McCallister killed himself last
week.
White may take the Court One
and leave Cameron his successor in
trying police cases, it was said. The
other judge doing this work is Pau

and Two are at the courthouse and
deal with civil cases largely.

STEPHENSON OPENS FIGHT
FOR NEW MURDER TRIAL

Based on the plea that fear kept
D. G. Stephenson from testifying
in his own behalf when he was con-
victed Of murder at Noblesville in
1925, another fight will be waged to
gain Stephenson a new trial, At
torney Olin r. Holt of Kokomo an
nounced today.
The new move will be filing of a
petition for writ of error, coran
nobiS, in the trial court at NobleS-
vile.
The petition for a writ Of error,
coran nobis, is an old common law
action, Holt declared, which has
been used only two or three times
in Indiana, but which has been
recognized by Indiana courts.
"The petition will be based on the
contention that Stephenson, owing
to the sentiment and prejudice
against him at the time, was pre-
vented from taking the stand to eS-
tabliSh his own innocence through
fear and duress," Holt stated.
A number Of af1davits will be filed
to support the petition, he said.
Certified copies of a number Of
resolutions condemning Stephenson
adopted by various women's and
civic organizations will be included,
he said.
Record Of a rebuke Of Judge Fred
Hines to Special Prosecutor Charles
E. Cox for an alleged statement of
Cox that if he were relative of
Madge Oberholtzer, the Indianapolis
girl, for whose death Stephenson
was sent to Indiana State prison
for life, there would be no need to
invoke man-made law against
Stephenson, also will be offered,
Holt said.
Cox made the statement, accord
ing to Holt, at a hearing on

Slight Hope for CIemency

BN Ontted Press
ALBANY, N. Y, Jan. 6-Only the
slimmest hope existed today that
Governor Al Smith would extend
clemency to Mrs. Ruth Snyder and
Henry Judd Gray and commute the
death sentences of the pair to life
Imprisonment.
Refusal of the Governor to con-
slider the mental condition of the two
as asked by the attorneys, particu-
larly Edgar F. Hazelton, representing
Mrs. Snyder, and the Governors
declaration that he must enforce the
law, indicated very strongly that he
would not commute the sentences.
The Governor had the arguments
under advisement today and will
study them over the weekend to
determine whether he missed any of
the points made by the defense
counsel at Thursdays clemency
hearing.
No decision will be made by the
chief executive before early next
week, and it is possible that he may
not make any announcement If he
decides to let the law take its course.

MANAGUA, Nicaragua, Jan. g.
The political troubles of strife-torn
Nicaragua were forgotten today as
the population united to honor Col.
Charles A. Lindbergh and, through
him, express friendship for the
United States.
The ringing of bells, blowing Of
horns, tossing of flowers and en-
thusiastic cheering, with fire.
crackers exploding intermittently,
showed the spirit of the people in
this picturesque Central American
capital.
Lindbergh, after skirting the re-
gion where United States marines
and Sandino rebels are in conflict,
arrived from Tegucigalpa, Hon
duras, at 2:25 p. m. yesterday. He
made the trip, about 225 miles, in
two hours and thirty-four minutes.
Crowd Of 10000 Present
A crowd of 10000 to $4,000 greeted
him on the flying field, two miles
east of the city. He thrilled them
by looming sharply upward for
1000 feet after he had approached
within 100 feet of the ground, then
circled and made a typical Lind
bergh landing, lightly as a feather.
The band played the "Star-Span-
gled Banner" and the crowd went
wild.
Lindbergh was driven to the pres
idential mansion through streets
lined with people. School children
along the route sang songs of well
come and threw flowers in his path,
while cries of "Hurrah for Lind
bergh" and "Hurrah for Coolidge" /"
were heard.
Makes Brief Speech
At the presidential mansion, he
made one of the shortest speeches
on record.
II appreciate the welcome,
thanks" he said.
Lindbergh will remain until to-
morrow, when he will start for San
Jose, Costa RicaS, the sixth stage of
his Central American tour. The
distance is 210 miles and he is ex-
pected to start early in the day.

PROTEST fire
IN COAL HEAP
Smoke Pail Over Homes as
Blaze Is Fought.

Families In the vicinity of the IN
dianapoliS Power and Light Com
pany's plant on Washington Ave.
today were protesting vigorously the
smoke screen that has hung over
the neighborhood for the last month
while a steam shovel gnawed into
huge smouldering coal pile to end
five weeks blaze.
With prevailing winds carrying
the smoke and gases northward,
more than a hundred homes on
Bright and Geisendorf Sts., as far
north as New York st, have been
blanketed, to the discontinue of
residents. Frequent protests have
been carried to the power and light
company and to the city health
board.
1--WE are doing all we can to put
out the fire." said H. j. SUeeden
general power plant superintendent
For five weeks the steam shovel
has been eating closer to the source
of it, taking out ten or twelve car
loads of coal day. We hope to put
an end to it within a day or two
Sneeden would not estimate the
tonnage of the huge pile, which has
been cut in the middle to localize
the blaze, started by spontaneous
combustion, following early winter
rains.
