ALBANY, n. Y. Jan. 5.-Gover-
nor Smith indicated little sympathy
for the insanity pleas of Mrs. Ruth
Snyder and Judd Gray as attorneys
for the pair, condemned to die in
the electric chair next week for the
murder of Albert Snyder, asked a
80 day reprieve at the executive
chamber today. The reprieve was
asked to permit time for new
mental examination.
"Stay on the law" the governor
advised Edgar +. Hazelton, counsel
for Mrs. Snyder, after the lawyer
had spoken of a psychosis' with
which he said Mrs. Snyder was af
flicted.

ALBANY, N. Y, Jan. 5.-Mrs.

gathered here with the mothers of
both of them in desperate effort
to obtain clemency from Governor
Smith, who set today for the formal
hearing of their plea.
The prevailing opinion was that
the governor would not save them.

Julian Hearing Opening
Today Promises to Last
For Weeks.
KEYES PROSECUTING
Many Prominent Leaders
Concerned in Conspiracy
Trial.
BY United Press Leased Wire


LOS ANGELES, Jan. 5.-A bitter
fight over the selection of jury to
try 10 defendants in the $50, 900, 600
Julian Petroleum corporation crash,
was in prospect today as the trial
opened in superior court.
Defense attorneys it was learned
will center their efforts on barring
from the jury any person who ever
bought or sold Julian stock, their
relatives, or any person who has
had dealings with the corporation,
it's officers or the men on trial.
Counsel for both sides predict that
s. week may be required to try the
10 men charged with conspiracy TO
violate the state corporation act by
the over-issue of approximately s.
100000 shares of stock, and conspir-
acy to obtain money under false
rretenses.
With 10 defendants, the same
number of defense attorneys, scores
of prospective jurors, witnesses,
newspaper men and photographers
all struggling for seats in the small
court room the confusion became
SO great that Judge William Dorah
ordered a recess shortly before noon
after futilly attempting to- untangle
the jam.
S. c. Lewis, former president of
the Julian corporation and the cen-
| .ral figure in J. trial, was the first
to arrive in the court room. He will
act as his own attorney. Later Jac-
ob Berman. alias Jack Bennett, en-
tered, but avoided Lewis and the
two men who were close friends be-
fore the oil crash did not exchange
greetings.
Because it is likely that a week
viii be required to draw the jury,
Judge Doran dismissed 90 witnesses
who had answered subpoenaa
Among them was John +. Barber,
banker, named in another indict-
ment in connection with the Julian
case.
Lewis Does Questioning
The jury box was tentatively
filled with seven women and five
men and District Attorney Keyes
briefly made an explanation as to
the legal charge contained in the in-
dictment.
s. G. Lewis, indicted ex-president
of the corporation, who is acting as
his own counsel and whose name
appears first on the indictment was
given the privilege of opening the
examination of jurors
His questions covered a wide
range of subjects and into his in
terrogations he brought the names
of c. c. Julian, Henry M. Robinson,
president of the First National
Bank; John E. Barber. Charles M.
Stern and Motley H. Flint, bankers.
Lewis asked each juror whether
he was personally acquainted with
any of the defendants, whether they
had any business dealings with their
banks; whether they had ever own
ed oil stock of any kind and wheth-
er they had holdings in any Of the
Julian enterprises.
The aim of his questioning was
clearly to keep from the jury any
persons who have had even the
most remote connection with the
Julian ease.
An indication Of the time it will
require to select the jury was seen
in the lengthy examination conduct
ed by Lewis. Each of the attorneys
for the other nine defendants may
follow the same procedure and ex-
anime every juror called to the box,
and if they take advantage of this
privilege, the task may be endless.

Copyright, 1928, by United Press

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-Major
General John A. LeJeune, marine
corps commander, declared today
that Augustine Sandino, leader of
the so called rebel faction in Nicar-
aqua, is a "bandit and murderer -
and that the United States expects
to eliminate' him before the
August elections in Nicaragua.
LeJeune, head of the "Devil
Dogs 1000 of whom are under or
ders to proceed to Nicaragua to re-
inforee their comrades, outlined the
history of Sandino's operations in
the state of Nueva Segovia.
He declared the United States at

of force in bringing him to terms,
but now purposes to employ large
force of marines to end what he
called the "murders' Sandino has
perpetrated under the guise of "pa-
triotism.''
cit has been learned from Off
cial reports,' LeJeune said, "that
Sandino is an outlaw and murderer,
recruited mostly from outlaws of
Central American republics, and
that SANDING committed a murder
In Nicaragua some years ago and
afterward was forced to leave the
country.

"Sandino took advantage of the

Strong Story of Senmut, Egyptian
Architect, Traced BY Excavations

The strange story OF Senmut. an
Egyptian architect who wanted king
ly burial, Is p!eced together following
the latest excavations at Thebes. made
by the Metropolitan Museums Egyptian
expedition.
While digging around the ruins of q
temple which Senmuf built for the fa-
mouse Egyptian Queen Hatchepset the
expedition discovered steps leading
down deep into the ground. H. e. VIM
lock reports Here, 100 yards below the
surface. was found the unfinished Sc
cret tomb which the architect was
building for himself while he worked
on the Queens temple
Senmut stood so high In the favor
Of Queen Hatchepset that he bore the
sounding titles OF chief guardian Of
tn Kings daughter. high steward OF
the royal household, superintendent OF
the royal slaves and superintendent Of

close association with royalty.
Two years ago this ambition was In.

that 6enmut had ordered his own por-
trait introduced behind every door in
the temple he was building.

The popular hero of the Tyrol is
Andreas Hofer. an innkeepsr. who took
command of the TyroleSe and from
April to November. 1909. successfully re-
sisted Napoleon Wordsworth wrote
poetry about Hofer. The Tyrolese
erected a monument to him. This
monument was damaged by group OF
enthusiastic Fascists, who possibly dis
liked the German name.

that their language and cultural insti-
