Another Story
The Globe in another story today
says:
Recent organized effort of the
big booze interests to induce the On
tario liquor control board to sell d.
rect for the export trade has met
with fiat failure"
The board refused to have any
thing to do with the proposition and
gave warning that it would not be
approached on the matter again.
The Globe adds: THE booze men
also assured the board that under
their proposed arrangement they
would take care Of all shipments
from the boards storehouse to points
of destination and the expense per.
tanning thereto; and that they would
lay off the Quebec booze which IL
now said to be coming into Ontario
into large quantities ana being short
clrcuited In many instances to nnd
ready sale, particularly along the
Detroit waterfront"
Fabulous Prices
According to the Globe the man
who approached the board said that
"American customers" were pre-
pared to pay fabulous" prices for
"good safe brands" and that the
Ontario liquor control board would
be paid more than regular prices.

STATUS IN DOUBT
Governor Issues ReprieVe But
Later Cancels Il
WERE TO HANG TODAY
Situation Further Complicated by
Refusal of Sheriff to Execute Man
and Woman Until Instructions
from Court Are Received.

Franklin, La, Jan. up - The
scheduled hanging of Mrs. Ada
Bonner Lebouef and Dr. Thomas E.
Drehcr became still more confused
today when Governor Long an
nounced at Baton Rouge that he had
cancelled his instructions to Sheriff
Pecot not 10 proceed with the exc

court for Instructions in the mat

Sheriff Pecot said today, when in

that he had not decided whether to
proceed with the hanging later to-
day as originally ordered.

tions from the governor and the

sociate justices directed the sheriff
to carry out the executions.
A reprieve granted by Governor
Long early today, however. seemed
to clarity the situation, but 1t be-

Franklin, La. Jan. 5.-lR1Gov-
ernor Hpey P. Long early today
granted reprieve for Ada Bonner
Lebouef and DIR. T. f. Dreher. who
were to hang today for the murder
of James J. Lebouef. her husband.
and shortly after announced that he
had cancelled the reprieve, thereby
throwing the famous case into great
confusion.
The governor telephoned Sheriff
Pecot from Baton Rouge to cease
preparations for the double hanging
until after court litigation over
legal snarl involving appointment of
sanity commission is disposed OF.
Later his announcement of can

status Of the couple at an undeter-

Prior to the reprieve issued by this
governor dramatic disagreement
as to whether the couple should be

The disagreement was among men,
bers of the supreme court. Chief
Justice Charles A. O'Neill ordered
that the executions be stayed, while
four associate justices notified

set for three o'clock this morning.
RIFT In Court
The rift in the supreme court
seemingly had shifted the fate of
Mrs Lebouef and DR.. Dreher into
the hands of Sheriff Pecot. The
sheriff early today prior to the re-
ceipt of Governor Longs reprieve
had said he had not decided whether
or not the executions would be car

make up his mind until he received
official copies of the orders from the
