murder of the woman's husband, to-
day pinned their final hopes Of saw
ing the lives of the condemned pair

action.
Governor Alfred e. Smith has
indicated that he will not grant.
clemency to Gray and the widow,
but Assemblyman Christopher c.
McGrath, New York Democrat, will
introduce a bill in the State legisla-

capital punishment in New York
State.
Not Much Hope
AS soon as the measure has been
introduced, Edgar F. Hazelton,
counsel for Mrs. Snyder, and Will

plan to petition the Governor to
reprieve Mrs. Snyder and Gray
until such time as the legisla-
ture has taken final action on the
abolition proposal.
The attorneys will point out that
this bill will inaugurate a new
State policy If it passes and will
argue that the Governor could make
the bill retroactive in respect to
Gray and Mrs. Snyder.

is absolutely vital.
The appeal for the stay, 1t In

ground that the date now set for
the hearing Of the argument on the
Prudential case is set for the day
following the date of the execution.
