Walker, of the Arizona State Prison; Assistant Warden E. H. Shute and four matrons told the sanity jury Saturday they believed the condemned woman was insane.
 Time Grows Short
 As the second day of the hearing closed, MT Judd, confessed slayer of Agnes Anne LeRoi, nurse, and Miss Hedvig Samuelson, teacher, both of Juneau, Alaska, had only five more days of life unless the jury decides she is lawfully a sub ject for confinement in an asylum instead of death on the gallows next Friday.
 Jury Called Gangsters
 Mrs Judd called the jury twelve gangsters. As their names were called she suddenly half rose in her chair, eyes fixed on the men, and exclaimed: They're gangsters, all of them"
 Her prison matron told the jury: "She told me nobody is going to take me out of here I won't hang. I won't go to an insane asylum. I'll stay right here. I'll fight. I'll choke myself, bite into the veins of my arm so air will enter my hears and kill me"

NEW GOVERNOR DUE TO ARRIVE
 EARLY TUESDAY
Juneau Man, Named Ex- ecutive, Arriving on
 Yukon, }: 30 AM.
LEGISLATORS SUGGEST
 PLAN OF INDUCTION
Desire Ceremony to Take Place Before It Possibly
 Tuesday Afternoon

At informal sessions held this afternoon, members of the Senate and House voted unanimously to m eet early tomorrow morning and pro- ceed in a body to greet Gov ern0r John w. Troy on his arrival at 3:30 am.
 John w. Troy, incoming Governor of Alaska, whose candidacy for the office re- ceived Territorial : wide en- d0rsement of all political par- ties and whose nomination and confirmation was greeted with widely expressed grati- fication, will arrive here at 3:30 am. tomorrow on the Alaska Line steamer Yukon, preparatory to assuming the duties of that office.
 Just when he will officially take the oath of office had not been decided today, al- though there was a desire among members of the AL aska Legislature to have it occur without delay. In this line, telegram was sent him last night at Ketchikan ask ing that the ceremony take place in the presence of the Legislature and that the oath be administered by :. mem- Der of that body.
 Leaves It to Juneau
 MT. Troy, himself, has made no definite plans for the ceremony. This was revealed in a special press dispatch received today by The Em- pire from it's Ketchikan corres- pendent which quoted him as say- ing his formal induction into office would be left to the judgment of his friends here. It is believed he will be pleased to accede to the suggestion of the Legislature that the ceremony take place be- fore that organization.
 The Legislature had suggested that it meet MT. Troy on his ar- rival here and escort him to the Capitol for the induction without delay. Owing to the inconvenient hour of arrival of the steamer on which he is a passenger it was generally believed that this plan would not be carried out. Most of the Legislators, however, have signified their intention to be at the dock to greet MT. Troy when he arrives tomorrow morning.
 May Occur Later
 Some of the members of the Leg islature expressed themselves today as favoring inducting MT Troy into

Deer Slayers Return

Jens Jensen, local oil baron, Or
val Johnsop and DR.. Hall are
among those from here who brot
back a deer apiece from along the
Missouri this week. 1t is reported
there are far more deer along the
river than people think but due
to the dense brush getting good
shot at one is rather difficult. 1t
is whispered about, confidentially,
that several of the go-getters from
here suffered from buck fever or
endeavord to talk the deer to
death. A tale is told of one fell
low, a prominent member of the
upper stratum, who was observed
with out-stretched arm pleadingly
calling "come bossy, come bossy'
to a fine big buck. After listen
ing for brief spell the antlered
king turned his caudal appendage
toward the zenith and with a dis
gusted snort fled unframed from
the scene.

AUTO LICENSE LAW REVISED:
GENERAL SALESTAX DISCUSSED

AT the special session of the
legislature, which is to take place
the middle of this month, raising
OF additional tax for relief funds
VIII be the most ticklish question
coming up.
No doubt governor Cooney would
like to see a general sales tax inn
posed on all the people of Mon
tana. In that way even the peo-
pie who are on relief would have
to pay back a goodly share of it
in the form of tax.
But the governor saw how the
sales tax idea was showed so
completely under by the people in
North Dakota and he knows the
same thing would happen in Mon
tana if taken to vote. So the
governor takes the easiest way
out and plays neutral. He is go
ing to leave it to the legislature
and pass the buck to them.
HELENA, Oct. Ex-Governor
Cooney said today it is apparent
that means of raising additional
tax money to provide relief funds
must be devised at the special ses-
sion next NORTH of the Montana
legislature.
Explaining that he does not in
tend to make any specific recon-
mendations as to what form the
additional taxatiop shall take, the
chief executive said he viii "leave
the matter to be worked out by
the legislature"
Although the governor said he
will not recommend any particular
taxation measures, discussions at
the statehouse conferred about
sales tax. 1t remains to be seen
what action the assembly will
take if it is uninstructed on this
point when it meets.
Governor Frank H. Cooney an
nounced yesterday that he would
include in his legislative call \
provision for the revision of the
motor vehicle license act to re-
duce the fee on light cars to SIS
as intended by the 1888 session.
The act was passed and approved
by the legislative assembly but an
error by an enrolment clerk Kept
the license fee on smaller cars Of
2,750 pounds or under at $40. The
case was taken to the state SUI
preme court which held that the
enrolment act must stand.
-Four Definitions
The following will be definitely
indicated in the call of the ex-
traordinary session, the governor
has said:
Creation of a water conserva-
ton board so high that federal
furds may be secured for flood
control projects.
Taxation measures to the extent
of at least $1,5O0,O0O so that fed
eral relief funds may be obtained
by the state.
Appropriation for the state
liquor board to launch the state
liquor business and possible re-
visions in the form of the pres
ert law.
