Perdue at VeIcan, w. Va. some year and
a half before, A jury returned a verdict
of guilty without recommendation of mer-

of West Vir ginia makes imposition Of the
death sentence mandatory.
Convinced that the man was innocent
and that his conviction had been obtained
upon perjured testimony, Judge Bailey
sentenced Beale to life IN the state peni-
Tertiary at M~oundsviIle instead of death.
An application for a writ of mandamus
almost Immediately was asked by Prose-
cutting Attorney LATE B. Chain of Mingo
county, compelling the trial judge to
pronounce the death sentence.
The supreme court ruled that no excep-
ton could be made IN this case-that the
law was clear and that death must be
the penalty. 1t so ordered.
Judge Bailey replied that rather than
have the blood of whom he believed to
be an innocent man upon his hands, he
would resign. His formal resignation, he
said, was but a matter of a few weeks,
probably with the opening OF the NOvem.

RESERVATIONS OF
BOARD MEMBERS
ARE ACCEPTED

Few matters of Importance were
brought before the city council at
its regular session at City Hall last
night. The meeting was marked by
the acceptance of designations ten
dered by Ray Edgar and Joe Foss
as members of the library board
and by Mrs. +. d. Jacobs as chair
man of the rest room committee.
The designations merely set forth
that the incumbents desired to re-
sign from these offices .and gave
no definite reason for such action.
The board accepted the designations.
A discussion was held on the open.
ing of state treet to the east side
Of the city. The street at present
ends at the railroad tracks. 1t was
brought out that the railroad com.
mission has asked for maps and
briefs calling for an expenditure of
approximately 5000 in their prepara.
tion. The street commissioner and
city engineer were authorized to
investigate the matter to determine
whether or not the expenditure
would be merited.
The ordinance granting the Inland
Empire Gas Company franchise to
furnish gas to all parts of the city
was given its final reading. The
council passed the ordinance with
unanimous vote. The right gives
the company free franchise for a
five year period but two per cent
levy on gross profits of the COM
pany is made after that time.
A letter from the California Lea
que of Municipalities was read in
which the city officials were invit-
ed to attend conference of the
league to be held in San Francisco
from October 8 to II, inclusive.
The board directed City Clerk j.
G. Neale to attend the conference.
Harry Behney, milk inspector,
gave detailed report on the work
carried on by his department dur
ing the month.
The council took up the matter of
the State and Seventh street inter
section. With the erection of the
iheater building this intersection
has become a dangerous one be-
cause of the narrowness of Seventh
street and the parking privileges
there. 1t is expected that no park
ing will be allowed between the
alley and State street on Seventh
street, thus decreasing greatly the
danger. The matter was referred
to Chief Oswalt of the police de-
partment.
