I'VE weeks ago, 81 hope had
been given up for carraway. con-
victed and sentenced in 1881. A
date for hig execution has been set
nine times. Twice he was saved by
intervention of the governor. Sew
en- times, different state and fed
eral courts came to his rescue.
Then tenth date was set, Fri
day, May 81. carraway's lawyers
had exhausted their court pleas,
and death stared the doomed man
in the face.
But proof that CalgaWay has ten
lives was found in the fact that,
as the tenth death date approached
the judge who presided at the trial
where Carraway was convicted and
eleven jurors who heard the testi-
mony, joined In a petition to the
governor to commute carraway's
death sentence to life imprison-
ment.
The trial judge wrote the gov
ernor that new evidence had been
discovered since the first trial
which would lead him to give Car
raway another trial, II II were in
his power to de- 50.

HIGH TRIBUNAL
REFUSES HEAR
RED DELEGATION

WASHINGTON Baked in the.r
efforts to present in person pc
tition to the U. s. Supreme Court
Monday asking for a re-hearing
for Angelo Hernon's case, a citi-
zens' committee drew up resolu-
ton and dispatched 1t to the trib-
unal by messenger.
A Gordon of police guarded the
high court chamber at it's final
session in the old building, and de-
MED admission to the delegation of
thirty, composed of out-of-town
and local representatives among
the Mrs. Lillian Evanti, interna-
tionally known singer.
Plans called for seven members
of the delegation to present the pc
tition while the others picketed the
Capitol ysth signs requesting the
court to reconsider its decision of
two weeks ago.

The banners, however, were con-
fiscated by Capitol police before
court convened. Eight members
were finally admitted to the build
ing. Officers made them stand in
one corner of the lobby, but per-
mitted two spokesman. James Ash
ford, white, New York, and Rob-
ert E. Roy, white. Of Washington,
to enter the office of Frank K.
Green, court marshall.
Green told the two delegates, ac-
cording to their story later, that
It was impossible for them to see
the Justices since they were "bus-

touch with the Supreme Court JUS
tees at their individual homes.
When reminded by the two that
he had made the appointment for
them, after having been told ear
lier that the attempts to reach the
Justices at their homes had failed,
Green merely shrugged his shout
ders, they said. The petition was
left with him.
The petition protested the "atti-
tude of the Justices of the Supreme
Court in not receiving the delega-
tion, and in doing so, denying our
constitutional right to petition"
Say Police Interfered
It further protested the action of
the police who "interfered with
and attempted to intimidate those
persons who came on the delega-
ton" and the decision that was
reached by the court in not review
ing Herndon's case.
Before going to the Capitol, the
delegation met at the YWCA and

LET Us ANSWER

Public service of an unselfish charac-
ter, Is the badge of good citizenship and
none serves this community better or
more unselfishly than the members of
the Ell Centre fire department, who to-
night will be hosts at their Goth annual
ball in Veterans Memorial hall.
El Centre has every reason to be proud
of its fire department, which has come
down from the pioneer days as an out
standing organization dedicated to COM
munity service. The majority Of the de-
partment members are volunteers. Many
Of them have given one and two decades
of service to FL Centre.
When the emergency is sounded they
answer. Whether the weather be terri
fically hot, or bitter cold, whether it is
bright day or the dark hours of the night,
whether the alarm comes To interrupt
their privacy with their families or their
association with their friends-they an

None of them are men of affluence.
Many times they expose themselves to

protect the lives and property of Others

Their annual Washington's birthday
ball is the one time in the year when the
people of Ell Centre are given a chance
TO show their appreciation for this band
of good neighbors who serve them so

vice is not forgotten for the firemen offer
full value for the price of the tickets

They are hosts who know how to en-

doing so over the past 26 years is high
ly commendable one.
Tonight they combine patriotism with
entertainment Their 26th annual ball is
dedicated to patriotism and American
ism and to the nations heroes, for when
patriotism calls the firemen do as when
the alarm rings-they answer.
The success of tonight's affair does
not depend entirely upon the firemen.
They may do their best, and they will,
but their success is based on the response
which comes from those they serve.
Heretofore the people of El Centre have
given the finest kind of support to the
firemen. We feel certain that they will
do so tonight-that when the curtain is

can say of their fellow-citizens-they an

rather deep, dark. dismal place in

trees and where, because the
branches of the evergreens were sc

to run away.

funny animal beneath the bush.
a'Oh, what is it?'' asked Jingle
as she came back
"It's a little lost puppy dog, :"
said Uncle Wiggily Aren't you?" "
Yes. am, - was the answer.
"'I'm a little Poodle Dog. I went
away from my kennel house and
I couldn't find my way back. I
got wet in the snow. I cot muddy
in some dust. Briars and brambles
stuck in my fur until l guess 1 look

afraid of you now. Can't we take
Poodle home. Daddy?" she asked.
"Yes,' said Uncle Wiggily, SO
they did And when Nurse Jane
had washed and combed Poodle he
turned out to be a little dog as white
as snow and he was very cute. At
