SHAUCHNESSY TO KNOW SOON
If Be GRANTED NEW TRIAL

Whether George J. Shaughnessy.
18-year -old Albany. N. Y. youth,
layer of Lon Blankenship, will be
granted a new trial will be decided
within the next two or three weeks
by the Arizona supreme court.
Shaughnessy. who killed Blanken-
ship on the Tucson road few miles
north of Nogales last July, made
another plea to the state tribunal
Tuesday to escape execution at the
Florence penitentiary.
His attorneys, G. A. Little and
James v. Robins of Nogales, based
the move to save him from death
by hanging CT asphyxiaticn in the
statcs new lethal gaa chamber. on
the grounds the information filed
against him was not sufficient.
At that time Shaughnessy plead
ed guilty.
"Thc information fails to state
that {Shaughnessy) killed Blank
enship-it merely alleges the con-
clus.on that he murdered him the
attorneys declared.
They asserted the charges should
have been worded in the language
of the statute-"that the defendant
unlawfully killed a human being
with malice aforethought.
Asst. Atty Gen. John Francis
Connor upheld the sufficiency Of the
information, contending there was
"no abue of discretion under the
facts and circumstances is assessing
the death penalty"
H. also asked the high court to
decree the administration of lethal
gas as the method of executing
Shaughnessy although the youth was
sentenced to "hang by the neck un-
til dead"
Since he wac sentenced the meth
I'd of execution was changed from
the gallows to lethal gas.
Little and Robins declined to re-
ply to Conncr's argument on lethal
gas, contending it was moot ques-
ton"
Connor, however, contended thc
lethal gas question Immediately be-
comes all issue in event of the af-
firmance of this case"
Glen Blankenship Of Tucson, bro
ther of the slain man, was in at
tendance when the arguments were

High School Track
Prospects Uncertain
(By G.. C. Elliott

Nogales High School track pros
poets appear to be uncertain this
spring as practice which entered in
to the second week failed to bring
out any outstanding performers tn
date. There is only one experienced
performer; Roy Catchings. a dash
man, in the entire squad of thirty
seven boys who are reporting for
practice every evening. This means
that Coach Bill Kerr is confronted
with the task of constructing his
third team of the season out of en-
tirely green material.
A great majority Of the candi-
dates out are underclassmen with
quite large percentage coming
from the freshman class. Most of
the material out is showing good
possibilities, but much of it will re-
quire season or two of experience
before it can give full accounting
for itself. Most of the boys report
ing to date have shown q decided
leaning to the dash and jumping
events, with some of the runs and
field events having few candidates
out.
Three meets have been scheduled
to date for the Apaches this spring.
The first will be an Inter Reporting
Room meet on April 5th and 9th.
The second meet will be at Douglas
on April 14th in the Fourth Annual
Douglas High School Invitational
Track and Field Meet. The third
will be the Southern Conference
Meet which will also be held at
Douglas ANY boy who places in an
event in the Southern Conference
Meet will earn the right to part;ci-
pate in the State Meet which will
be held at Tucson on May 5th.

For the year ending June 80. 1898
this organization travelled 1924 ,702
miles on Patrol duty. Of this dis
tance 382 800 miles were traversed
On foot. That is a truly Gargantuan
hike-equivalent to something like
SIS roundtr' ps between New York and
San FranciIco.
Patrolling-even seven million
miles CT it's not as significant as
the revelation that, from June 50
1882, to June 80, 1888, inspectors
questioned 1,313,120 individuals
