French President Saves

PARIS, Jan. 14.-The Partisan
sequel to the Snyder Gray case has
ended without an execution.
Pretty Yvonne Leleu and her lover,
Marceau Jacquart-who were con-
victed of killing Yvonne's husband
and sentenced to the guillotine-
were saved by executive clemency
Of President CASTOR Doumergue.
The woman must serve life i'm
prisonment while Jacquart will
spend the rest Of his days at hard
labor.
In this final respect the case of
Yvonne and Marceau differed from
the Snyder-Gray case. They were
not killed for their part in murder
that was brought about by illicit
love.
Yvonne and Marceau met and
fell in love. Court evidence was that
the pretty women completely con-
trolled her young lover. He acted
at her bidding. After numerous
meetings she took Jacquart into her
home as a friend and M. Leleu &C
cepted him.
Things went along peaceably for
a time, but the two lovers tired of
M. Leleu. One night they strangled
him to death.
They were tried, convicted and
sentenced to death on the guillotine.

John G. Brown, president of the

Monon, addressing members of the
local Chamber of Commerce in the
first of a series of talks to be given
throughout the State by his Or
ganization in an effort to crySallize
public sentiment for early and more
permanent improvement Of the
State highway system.
Indiana is not meeting traffic
demands at present" Brown as
serted. cat the end of 1927 people
of this State owned 100000 auto
mobiles. For this vast number the
State has built less than 400 miles
of first class pavements. If the pres
ent rate of increase in automobile
ownership and highway building
persists, Indiana will have 100000
cars and only about 1000 miles of
first class pavement ON State high
ways by 1880. At this rate it will
require until 1945 to complete the
paving Of the State highway sys-
tenn.
"a definite, specific State road
building program is needed. From
one end of the State to the other
the people are demanding high type
roads. They do not want to see
either vast mileages or short mile
ages of make-shift surfacing. Our
money should be invested in roads
that will last a reasonable length of

Terre Haute Boy in
Agony After Sea Rep
tiles Attack.
BIZ United Press

BIZ United Press
TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Jan. IA.
u Earl Shagley, Jr., 10, Of this
city, who has just returned from
a visit at Palm Beach, Fla, gives
an interesting account of an at
tack upon him by a "blue bottle"
or Portuguese man of war;" a sea
reptile, about the size of a fern
leaf.
Young Shagley was bathing near
the Breakers Hotel, at Palm
Beach, when his mother noticed
he was in agony. She summoned
attendants who went to his aid.
1t was found that the blue bot
tie" had clamped itself around
one of his feet. The reptile re-
leased its grasp on the foot and
f1oated away leaving the boy
writhing in pain. He was taken to
a hospital where he was in con-
vulsions until exhausted.
Attendants said it was the first
case of its kind in two years.
BIOLOGIST revealed that the ami
NAL has a peculiar way of attack
ing. 1t fastens itself on the hui
man body. 1t then exudes a slime
on the flesh which throws the VIC
tim into agony.
Should boiling oil or molten
lead be sprayed on the body at the
same time, it would only slightly
more than compare with the pain
caused by the slime, it is said.
1t was explained that victims In
other years have bitten and
lacerated their tongues in their
agony and others we're bedridden
for months.
