 GARRY FIGHT ONWARD
Rattle to Save Condemned Couple Ff0m Moose to Co to Federal
 Court

(OAHJ
 New Orleans, Jan. 29 R-The contemplated move on federal courts now has materialized in the legal fight to save Mrs. Ada Bonner Lebouef and Dr. T. E. Dreher from hanging February l at Franklin for the murder of James Lebouef. hus- band of Mres. Lebouef. the night of July l. 1927.
 Thrice saved from the gallows, the physician and tho widow were dis appointed but not surprised when in- formed in their prison cells that 8 state supreme court late yesterday refused . ninety day stay of execu- ton.
 Counsel today intended to carry their battle into federal court later in the week. and to seek . stay from the United States supreme court. if necessary.
 The defense will contend that the state supreme court decided constt- tutional questions not before deter- mined by the supreme court of the United States in refusing mandamus writs to compel Judge James Simon. the trial judge. to appoint a lunacy commission.
 The death date was stayed by Gov crnor Hpey P. Long from December 19 to Jahuary s. Further reprteves came on January 5 and January l2 when the supreme court became muddled over . writ issued by Chief Justice Charles A. O'Neill ordering the execution stayed in conflict with opinion of the court. Tho O'Neill writ was overruled.
 Today with the case again off, cially before Governor Long. who fiatly has refused communication. the execution machinery again was set in motion for . double hanging that may or may not occur next Friday.
