CITY HAS SITE TO OFFER FOR
FEDERAL BUILDING

A new site for the proposed
new $135. 900 federal building in
Nogales loomed here today when
city officials and chamber Of
commerce executives discussed
the location of the proposed
structure. says Wednesdays No.
gales Herald.
The proposed new site would
be ia the center Of Grand ave.
at International street. . wide
intersection containing enough
area for the proposed building.
It is suggested that the orna-
mental building be constructed
in such q manner leaving an
arcade entrance on the street
level for the passage of pedes.
trian and vehicles.
This would be an ideal loca.
ton for the new building" said
Mayor J. E. Wise to The Herald
today. "The street could run
through the building. T is
would afford protection from the
weather for inspectors and those
who cross the border. 1t would
be unique and ornamental. The
building could be three stories
high and the inspection quarters
could be on the ground floor. Il
would add greatly to the beauty
of that section OF the city"
G. r. Michaels, secretary Ut
the Nogales chamber Of com.
merce. advanced the idea OF
locating the building in the
center Of Grand avenue directly
on the border line.
THE street at that point 10
200 feet wide," said Michaels.
What could be better than
building the structure oyer the
street, leaving passsgeway
through the building. It would
be an ideal location and would
certainly serve the govern ment."
Structure Approved
According to announcement
made from Washington the pro-
posed structure has been approx.
ed by the government. All that
remains in the way now is . suit.
able site.
According to unofficial infor.
nation he government has
tentatively selected the site owu.
ed by the heirs of the late Capt.
L. ". Mix, at the corner Of Inter.
national and Terrace. It is be.
lieved, however, that litigation
over the will OF Capt. Mix may
halt construction Of the building.
Another site the government
has it's eye on is the railroad de-
pot site ia which the immigrA.
ton department is now located.
The proposed city of Nogales
eite would be directly between
the two and at the main gate into
Mexico.
The city could we'll afford to
sell the site to the government
at a reasonable figure. say $780,
OOO." said Mayor Wise. The
could erect an orna.
mental structure which would be
ideally situated to house all gov.
ernment departments here"

KILLER OF ROY BlANKENSHiP
DENIED MERCY

Phoenix, Oct. 19.-The Ari-
zona board Of pardons and pa
roles declined today to recon-
mend Communication of the death
penalty of George J. ShauRh-
messy, 1S-year- old admitted slay.
er Of Albany, New York.
The governor is not empower
ed to act except upon recon men.
dation Of the board.
ShauRhnessy is under sentence
TO be hanged October q for
murder OF Lon Blsnkenship,
Tucson automobile dealer.
His appeal to the board of par
dons and paroles was his last re.
sort unless Warden A. G. Walk.
er OF the state prison at Florence
whore ShauRhnessy is In q death
cell. should decide to ask . sani
ty hearing.
1t was the second death sen
tence the board has refused to
commute this year. The other
was the sentence of Winnie Ruth
Judd, slayer of Agnes Ann Leroi
and Hedvig Samuelson. The
board refused to act after it
heard her plea last spring. She,
however, was saved from the
gallows when sanity jury in
Pinal county. site OF the state
prison, found her insane. She
Is now in the state asylum.
THE board has carefully con
sidered and weighed all of the
testimony" "the formal announce
ment released by Chairman Lin
B. Orme, Sr.. said.
The sorry and thoughtful
consideration of the same, to.
gether with q cheerful review of
all the facts and circumstance
attendant upon the murder OF
Mr.. Lon Blankenship. compels
the board to find that there is no
fact or circumstance reasonably
indicating that it should inter
fere with the sentence and judg
ment of the court.
Therefore, the board of par.
dons and paroles declines to re.
commend TO the governor of the
state of Arizona the commuta.
ton of the sentence and judg
meut pronounced upon George
Joseph Shaughnessy."
The boards findings were sub
stantially the same as those of
Superior Court Judge Charles L
Hardy.of Nogales who sentenced
Shaughnessy to die after hear
ing during which he. announced
be had been unable to tind any
extenuating circumstances.
The board OF pardons and
paroles 10 announcing its deci
sion did not project itself into
the possible legal controversy
over whether Shauehnessy shall
be hanged or put to death by
lethai gas. Since sentence was
pronounced on Shaughnessy the
Arizona constitution has been
amended to make lethal gas the
official instrument for infliction
OF the death penalty. The new
constitutional provision becomes
effective October % just four
days before the Albany youth is
to die. The state prison is equip
ed with q gallows but has no
means at present for inflicting
death by means Of lethal gas.
How Shaughnessy is to die is
expected to be decided by the
attorney general or possibly the
state supreme court.

Baby Dies After Doctors

NEW YORK CITY, November &c
NS)-A four months old Negro baby
died at Hampstead, Long Island
November 2 after an intestinal oper-
alton which was delayed for hours
while authorities were searching for
a hospital to which the child might
be admitted.
The trouble was that the baby had
whooping cough. None Of the eight
private hospitals in Nassau County
is permitted to accept a patient suf-
fering from a contagious disease.
1t was recalled at last that there
was an u%nequipped operating room
at the Town Home. 1t was scrubbed
out and Katherine Hurleym, superin-
tendent of Nassau Hospital, sent an
ambulance load Of sterilized equip
ment. DR.. Al S. Warinner performed
the operation at midnight, which,
ugeons had concurred should have
been performed at 7 o'clock. At A a.
M the baby died. He was the only
child of Mr. and Mrs Leon Cole

that some of the County officers pro-

man and wife met in Police Court

William said that he didn't mind an
occasional note saying he is doomed
to die, but when circulars advertising
an undertaking establishment began
to arrive it is a little too much for
him.
So William had Evelyn arrested,
charged with threatening his life.
Evelyn denied writing the notes or
sending the circulars.
Assistant District Attorney Roger
Robb had her write a similar note in
court. Both he and Judge Mcmahon
agreed that the handwriting looked
Identical and the case was about to
come to a close.
But Evelyn had an ace in the hole,
and she accused William of remail-

funeral circulars to her. The case
was continued until November IL,
