Mrs. Antonio, mother Of three
small children, was convicted
with Vincent Saetta and Sam
Faraci for the murder Of her
husband.

ton was postponed by Governor
Lehman until next week when
Saetta, in an eleventh-hour state
ment, attempted to absolve Mrs.
Antonio Of completely in the

Daniel H. Prior, counsel for
Mrs. Antonio, based his motion
for o new trial on Saetta's state
ment. Mr.. Prior indicated he
would appeal from Judge Gallup's
decision to higher courts, if such
o step could be taken this week.
Application for the new trial
was opposed by District Attorney
John T. Delaney. He insisted that
Saetta made the eleventh-hour
statement only as means of de-
laying his own execution,
Unless Governor Lehman or the
higher courts intervene Mrs. An.
tonic and the two men will be
executed one week from tonight.

cell in the death house, and has
been under the care of a physi-
clan, according to her attorney.

hiring Saetta and Faraci for $500
to murder her husband, Sam, so
she might collect his $500 life
insurance. It was brought out at
the trial that she had paid them
$40 ION account" at the time of

P. W. A. UNIT RULES

Board of Labor Review ruled this
afternoon that striking carpenters on

The carpenters had been receiving

ing an increase to the $125 established
here recently on private construction
work.
The case was brought before the

board to direct the carpenters to re-
turn to work. This, the board does not
have power to do, but, nevertheless,
took as strong action as it could in

RETIREMENT FUND
SAVING OVER $4,000
Chairman Alcorn of Joint Confer
ence Explains Effect
of Amendment.

A saving of from SIS, 900 to 500, 900
year in the Federal retirement fund
was estimated today by Robert H. AL
ence on Retirement, as a result of an
amendment to the annuity law passed
in the closing hours of Congress.
Alcorn, who for 81 years has been
directing the campaign for retirement
legislation, explained the amendment
makes it possible for the Government
worker to save court and attorney
costs by permitting him to name
beneficiaries to whom would be paid,
upon the establishment of a valid
claim therefor, the amount of indi-
vidual credit due the employe or
annuitant at time of death, including
also the accrued annuity. If no bene-
fciary has been designated the
amount due shall be paid to a duly
appointed executor or administrator
of the estate of such employe or an
nuitant.
ITO my mind" said Alcorn, this
is a decided improvement in the re-
tirement law, because under this
amendment the widows and children
will benefit, in that they will not
have to await the action of the court
in naming an executor or administra-
tor, nor will the beneficiary, widows
or children, have to employ lawyer
to settle up their estate, in so far
as it applies to matters of retirement"
