Condemned for Murder of Arthur

Emery Gets Three Years

Louis Galvano, 20 years old, of
Brooklyn, n. Y, private soldier in
Company E, 1st Engineer Regi-
ment, Fort dupont, Delaware City,
will be hanged at New Castle
County Workhouse, Greenbank,
some time in Friday, March %,
for the murder of Arthur c. Cline,
a felloW-soldier, last Christmas
Eve, unless the State Board Of
Pardons grants the appeal of
James r. Morford for the COM
mutation of the death sentence to
one of life Imprisonment for his
client Chief Justice James Penne-
will, sitting with Judges Herbert
L. Rice and Richard S. Rodney, in
Oyer and Terrniner Court, impos-
ed the death sentence at 1.16 We'd
nesday afternoon, last. Galvano is
the first white man to be sentenc-
ed to death in this State in thir-
teen years. After the death SEN
tence was imposed upon Galvano
sentence was passed upon Alonzo
Emery, 27, of Huntsville. Tenn,
who was acquitted upon a first de-
gree murder charge when tried
with Galvano. Emery later plead
ed guilty to charge OF being an
accessory after the fact. Emery
was sentenced to the limit, provid
ed by the law; namely, three years
Imprisonment and a fine of $1,000.
Furthermore, the sentence passed
upon Emery provides that should
he fail to pay the fine he will have
to serve another year in prison.
In contrast to the three people,
who were in the court room when
sentence was imposed upon Gal
vano, was the capacity crowd
which heard sentence passed upon
Emery. Before sentence was i'm
posed Mr.. Morford asked the court
to set the execution date far
enough ahead to allow him an op-
portunity to prepare an appeal to
the State Board of Pardons. He
stated he will go before the par
con board either next month or at
its March meeting and ask that
the death sentence be commuted
to life Imprisonment. The appeal
to the pardon board is the last
move that Mr. Morford can make.

impossible for a physician to pre-
scribe liquor for patient, some
thing which is allowed by the Vol
stead act itself. If the Klair law
was repealed it would not mean
that liquor could be sold in Della
ware as it would in no way affect
the Volstead act. Physicians in
this State at various times have
made an effort to have the law
changed so that they could pre-
scribe liquor for patients who
needed it. They pointed out that
they were allowed to prescribe
narcotics but not liquor. So far
they have been unsuccessful in Sc
curing a change in the law. AT
the last session of the legislature
an effort was made to make the
the law more drastic but the SEN
ate buried the amendments in a
committee and they never appear
ed. In 1928 when a QUESTIONABLE
was sent out on the question of
Prohibition itself. about 90 per
cent of the $4,000 people who re-
turned answers thought that much
harm had been produced by prohi-
bition and some change should be
made. Mr. DUPONT in making the
announcement concerning the
QUESTIONABLE pointed out that Del
aware had been a leader in a large
number of matters concerning the
welfare of the State and nation
and suggested that here was an
opportunity for Delaware to be the
first to express real opinion on
this important subject.
