Random Notes

We publish today an account of the
execution of three men at His MaJesty,s
Prison, Basseterre. ST. Kitts:@John Ab-
bott age 81. Henry A bbott age 81 and
Bernard Norford, 10.
The men were sentenced to death 90
the afternoon of Saturday A prIi 18th by
His Honor Sir James Rae Chief Justice.
after being found guilty of the brutal
murder of Osiah Henderson. nicknamed
Captain, and aged 80 years. They had
stolen Captains" goat aod eaten it.
He suspected them and was on their trail
when he was murdered
The execution took place on Nav lS,
at which time 1t was found that the men
had gained considerably in weight:
John Abbott: AT sentence: 129 10.
at execution 14l TO- increase lib.
Henry Abbott Az sentence. 146 10
at execution 159 ID; increase l3 10.
Bernard Norford: AT sentence 15S
Id: at execution, l49 Id; increase II 10.
Under our present criminal code the
death penalty is prescribed for murder,
with the alternative of imprisonment for
life.
Public feeling 10 our municipality has
always been opposed to the death penal
ty; the jury usually recommends life I'M
prisonment and in one case. when the
Court passed the death sentence the Gov
ernor, n response to popular request
commuted the sentence TO life lmprlson-
ment. On the other hand public feeling
would always be hardened according to
the circumstances under which the crime
ia committed and would be just as ready
to see the death penalty imposed whe
the circumstances do not warrant mercy.

THE thrills of bobsledding come to .
climax with the pictute of a bob
sledder tearing at his goggles in the
middle Of a dizzy curve. Champion
Stevens had just started out in two
man race when the right eye of his
goggles began to grow dim and cloudy;
he doesn't know why, but thinks he
must have struck a current of warm
air. He thought it would clear in a
second or two; but the disk Of glass
grew foggier and DINNER. He could
not see thing out of his right eye.
The rushing sled was approaching q
couldn't steer the bob safely with only
one eye-but he didn't dare take his
hands OF the steering wheel. 1t re-
quires an iron power of hands and
arms to keep a speeding sled on a safe
course on a plunging mountain run;
even your knees are used to grip the
wheel. The champ was in tough spot
ahead
Then the other eye of his goggles be-
gan to frost over. The icy mist gath
cred swiftly on the glass and froze in a
thick, cloudy layer He was blind now,
blind in both eyeststone blind at the
steering wheel of a sled taking those
whirling turns at 20 miles an hour.
What would you do?
Stevens didn't hesitate He took one
hand off the twisting wheel and tore
the goggles from his face. AS he did SO
the sled gave a mighty lurch. One
hand of the Wheel and the other hand
couldn't hold it. Of the course and
up the ice bank-right to the brink of
1t. He had completely lost control And
the sled went over the brink.
But that was Stevens lucky day. The
sled didn't 60 flying out into space BY
the merest chance it steadied and ran
right along the top of the bank, con-
tinuing the race on that narrow, rough
strip that crowns the upper edge of q
bobsled run. The sled bounced and
jerked and jumped. Then it hit a rock.
The two men were flung headlong. They
took wild dive and landed on their
noses in the snow. They weren't hurt.
How did they feel7 They Just felt
ridiculous.
You may prefer skiing or skating
may be your favorite sport But for
stories, yarns to spin, bobsledding takes
the cake Of ice

van Hoevenberg bobsled run. That is,
I was a passenger on the first sled to
make an official run. Bobsled Cham
pion J. Hubert Stevens was at the con-
trolls, as the aviators say-or maybe you
would call 1t the helmsman's wheel on
a bobSled. Stevens holds the world
two-man and four-man championships
and all sorts of other records-these
Winter sports go in for varied and
complicated titles. We went down the
chute at breath taking speed and
rounded the steep turns at clip that
left me gasping. Afterward we had q
tanning bee about the frosty joys OF
bobbing along.
The most sensational mishap of bob
Shedding, one still talked about at Lake
Placed, came in the Olympics in 1882.
A German team had q disastrous spill
and both men were nearly killed. Not
long afterward Champion Stevens al
most duplicated their misadventure.
I'VE were going fast" he told me.
Everything went okay until we came
to Shady Turn. That Is one of the
worst spots known to the world of bob
sledders; it was shaped like sharp u.
AS we ran into it the sled went far up
the side of the bank. It slipped, skid
ded, and the next you knew I was
looking over the top of the bank. One
runner Of the sled was above the bank
we were just ready to 60 flying over.
The German team had come to grief
on that same Shady curve.
For a flickering instant We were
poised, ready to 60 hurtling over the
top. The two Of us acted instinctively.
Blind impulse Is the only thing that
can tell you what to do in a time like
that. We threw our weight downward,
to force the sled down the bank. She
edged downward. I twisted at the
wheel and steered her down the slope.
We shot at breakneck speed down to
the middle Of the run. We were safe,
but sure to lose the race II we stayed
there-you can't take a turn on the
level run; you've got to 90 up the bank.
I'VE were tearing along at terrific
gait. steered the sled steeply up the
bank again. That was just what the
German team had done. They had
come down to the middle run, and then
had hurled themselves up the slope
again, just as I was doing. My heart
was in my throat as we went climbing
to that deadly top. We were skidding
close to the top again as we whizzed
around that last curve, but we were
safely out of Shady Turn.
I'VE won that race. We won it by
just the margin Of that dizzy r1adcap
squirt around the Shady Turn The
irony of it came when a lovely young
lady rushed up to me burbling with
admiration and hero worship.
"'Oh, Mr.. Stevens she gushed, is
that the way you win bobsled races?'
II told her'I hoped I'd never win an
other one like that"
Evening star., 1934-01-14

pion took a header and went sliding on
his nose. Then a long distance champ
landed on the back Of his neck when
he tried his most expert fling for the
benefit of the King and Queen. The
grand triumph was scored by an
American girl figure-skating champion.
Hers was triumph of nonchalance, a
demonstration of what to do in an
embarrassing moment She went ca
vorting through bewitching series Of
sliding figures, and came around with
a fling right in front of their majesties,
doing one Of her most intricate figures.
Just as she came in the full glare OF
the royal presence her feet few out
from under her and she sat down.
She sat down with vim, vigor and
abandon. It was as spectacular q sit
down as has ever been seen on the ice.
There was slight smile on the Kings
face, there was Slighter smile on
the Queens. Sitting on the ice, the
American girl champion made Q
charming curtsey to the King and
Queen-as much Of curtsey as can be
made in a sitting posture. She bowed,
posed her arms gracefully and smiled.
Then she coolly got up and went
through the rest of her act. The other
skaters, Britishers mostly, who had
taken their falls ANONYMOUSLY, made
acid remarks about yankee cheek"
JACK SHEA, the Olympic speed-skat-
ing champion, told me another
amusing one about six-day skating
race that was held recently. The six
day bike torture is an old one, of course,
but the six-day skating horror was
something new. The boys went round
and round on the ice day after day.
They were professionals, wise guys, and
one hard-bitten old-timer Of the ice
was the wisest of all. In the middle
of the race he got to thinking about
the money. He suspected 1t might be
a kind of fly-by might affair and was
worrying about the pay-off. So he de-
cided that he better get his first and
get 1t right away.
During the interval when he was re-
heved by his partner on the Lee he
started out to get the money. He went
to the promoter and couldn't get It:
he went to the bank and couldn't get
it: he went here, there and the next
place. He decided he wasn't going back
until he got the cash-meaning that
his partner would have to stay out
there on the ice until the money was
laid on the line. It took him seven
hours. and all that time his unf0rtu-
nate partner had to keep going round
and round. Seven hours is long time
to keep racing on the ice. and the un-
fortunate man was in state Of collapse
when finally the wise guy" returned
with the money, and took his turn in
the six day nightmare.
