 Vay Satisfactory

Albany. Jan. 21 W-The new home of New York city's famous ''alimony club. b."-comprisins men who have been jailed becauss of their failure to pay alimony-has been formally inspected by the state commission of prisons and found fitting and satisfactory. A report is- sued today declared.
 Officially known as the New York county jail. the headquarters" of the club was moved uptown" to West S7th street last month from it's old location in Ludlow street, There. since 1881. the old jail had borne mute witness of the arrival and departure of many prisoners quite as famous individually as the alimony group which later became established there.
 The passing of the famous jail was noted but briefly in tho inspec- tion report Of the commission. It said:
 "The removal of the jail gives de- cent quarters to the civil prisoners under the custody of the sheriff, and releases the old Ludlow street Jail for much-needed school in that section"
 ''The commission does not believe that National Guardsmen should be quartered in the same jail with the alimony prisoners. and 1t recom- mends a protest to the state mili- tary authorities against the prac- tice. noting simply that "the disad. vantages of these jails and impro- priety of sending this class of men to them has been pointed out ssv- eral times previously"
 In another report covering the Westchester county penitentiary also made public today. the commission declared that on the day of its in- spection. 12 prisoners were found to be "A. w. O. L." This item being listed under 'ths distribution of population and employment" The penitentiary was characterized as one of the finest in the United States" and the county was com mended for its conduct of the instt- tuition.

ID DECIDE FRENCH MURDERER'S FATE
President Doumer6ue to Deiber.
 ate Over Weekend

Paris, Jan. 21 (UP) - President Gaston Doumergue will spend his weekend considering whether Cas- ton Guyot, millionaire murderer. must die on the guillotine.
 Guyot was sentenced to death last July for killing his beautiful mis- tress. Marie Louise Beulaguet. be- cause she wanted him to marry her.
 Guyot's lawyer, Maurice Garcon, visited President Doumergue today and made an eloquent plea for com- mutation of the~- sentence. Dou- mergue promised to consider the case during the weekend.
 "Not Premetiitatei'
 T hope Guyot's. sentence will be commuted to life Imprisonment at hard labor" Garcon told the United Press after he saw Doumergue. It is understood that the plea for Guy ot's life was made on the ground that the murder was not premedi- tated. Guyot lived in luxurious hat here with his 17 year old daughter. He had been married twice. Both his wives had died violent deaths.
 Three years ago Guyot met Marie Beulasuet, a telephone girl in little town near Paris. They fell in love, and Guyot used his influence to have her transferred to Paris telephone exchange. He installed her in . little room across the street from his flat.
 On August IF. ls7s. Guyot and Marie went by automobile to spend the afternoon at Meaux. They dined in a roadhouse at Claye-Souilly. on the Paris Meaux road. The innkeep- CT heard them .quarrelling violently during the meal.
 Next day the girls body, half burned, was found in a smouldering haystack q few miles away. Guyot was traced by means of the number plate on his automobile, which he kept in Paris garage under an as- stunned name.
 Guyot disappeared. A few days later his father surrendered him
 It was learned that after the mur- der--which he admitted at a pre- liminary judicial hearing-Guyot drove his automobile back to Paris, placed 1t in the garage and went to sleep in Marie's room.
 Killed in Anger
 Guyot claimed he had killed the girl in anger, because she had de- manded that he marry her and give her more money. But the prosecu- ton contended the murder was de- liberate. Asked why he had burned the girls body. Guyot said he drop ped a match into the haystack acci- dentally, after lighting . cigarette. Because of the burning. the jury re- fused to recommend him to mercy when he was found guilty.
