BA1NBRIDGE, Ga, November 23.-
An lS-month-old boy lay Ill In
Bainbridge hospital today while OFF,
GERS endeavored to identify him and
the woman beside whose body he was
found in a woods near here.
The baby's cries led to discovery
yesterday of the body of the 30-year-
old woman, believed by Sheriff w. j.
Catledge to have been the child's
mother.
finger ring initiated "B," carpet
slipper on bruised foot and clothes
of medium quality failed to give Off
GERS any clear clues to the woman's
identity. The baby is unable to talk.
Catledge said her face was swollen
from fatal blow. Lack of any evi-
dence of struggle in the woods led
him to the theory she was killed else
where and her body, along with the
baby, brought to the spot where they
were found by colored youth pass
ing on his way to Sunday school.
Catledge said he was unable to find
any one in the vicinity who recalled
having seen her before.
A physician estimated she had been
dead IL hours before the body was
discovered, about 1890 am. The
baby was suffering from a cold and
running fever from exposure.
Ofhcers found no purse with the
body and considered robbery a pos
sible motive for the killing Catledge
said physician found no signs Of
q criminal assault.
The woman-brunette, brown-eyed,
5 feet or inches tall-was wearing
q black topcoat with fur collar over
. dress trimmed with red buttons
and red belt buckle. She had three
gold-crowned teeth.
The carpet slipper covered taped
heel, which Catledge said apparently
had been infected from bruise.
The child resembles the woman from
the mouth up, although he has light
hair and blue eyes, Catledge said.
At the hospital the baby was listed
as unidentified and Catlsdge 'guesses"
he is Decatur County'S baby until We
can identify the woman"
The place where the body was
found is in the southwest corner of
Georgia, near where Georgia, Florida
and Alabama meet.

DEATH ROW GROUP

After Double Execution

nv j. C. RASI< E,RNvVII

Raleigh. Nov. 19.-The prisoners on
Death Row. will not be moved to
the new cell block in the west end of
BILE execution scheduled for Friday
morning. and possible not until sew
eral weeks later, Acting Director
Oscar T. Pitts of the prison division
Of the State Highway and Public
Works Commi sion, said today. There
are now Is men on Death Row"
awaiting execution, but there will be
only Is after Willie Tate, of Pitt coun
ty and Evans Macklin of Halifax
county walk the last mile to the
lethal gas chamber Friday morning.
There are two reasons why we de-
c1ded not to move the Death Row
prisoners at this time" Pitt said
Zone is that the prisoners on the
row always get high strung and ner-
vous few days before an execution
and until several days after it is over
lit is a terrific nervous strain for
them to watch one or two men walk
through the door into the death cham
Der from which they never return. So
we thought it best not to try to move
these IS condemned men until after
the double execution slated for Fri
day morning.
"A second reason for not making
the move Is that while the work has
already started on the remodelling
and fireproofing of this central wing
where death row is located, all OF
the work is t.eing done on the cell
block on the other side of the row
so that it will probably be five or six
weeks before they will start working
on the immediate section where the
prisoners under. death sentence are
kept. So we will probably not move
the men on Death Row for several
weeks yet"

Kathleen, observing the nervous
pacing, said to Kim:
IF you ask me, Kim, what to
do about eAlix, I'd say the best
thing to do would be to take her
down to the Waldorf bar and in
trodpce her to about six Old FASH
IONS" She may not be drinking
woman but that would be one way
of bringing this marathon to a
halt. Also. she'd probably be so
Ill for the next two or three days,
she'd stop asking questions"
Then, Alix interrupted eXcitedly:
kathleen, DR.. Neville said he'd
know surely today!"
Come on, Alix, think Kath-
leen has the best idea. It's a bar
you need. DR.. Neville has assured
you that he found the condition
much more hopeful than he
thought"
Then why can't see him 2" she
demanded.
Because he has to be kept abb
solutely quiet until Monday. Be
sides, it's bad luck for the bride
and groom to see each other before
the wedding" Kathleen pressed
Alix's hat on her head. Come on,
we've plans to discuss if you two
are going to be married SOON"

secure parole Or a pardon, on the
grounds that the case had been given
to Justice Brogden to review and
write the opinion, that Justice Brog-
den had been convinced that Swan
was not guilty and that If he had
lived, the court would have either dis
missed the case or ordered new trial
by vote of three to two.
But under the law, the governor is
not permitted to go behind the record
in any case ort to take into consid-
Grafton anything that may have trans
pired among members of the Supreme
Court when they are in conference.
SO in order to uphold the courts and
the law, the governor declined to in
tervene with the result that Swan
went to prison some seven months
ago to start serving his sentence.
Since that time he has made an ex-
sellert prison record.
There are definite indications, how
ever that Swan and his attorneys
were correct In their contentious,
that if Justice Brogden had lived, he
woult have held in favor of Swan,
and that, accordingly, Swan would
never have gone to prison. There were
also indications that the evidence on
which Swan was convicted was very
fneaere. So now Swan is "a free man,
but en- parole.

way through for John Sayre and
the other hospital patients. Sit
ting there on a high stool in a
Mother Goose costume, strunming
q guitar, she sang it softly, with
husky sweetness for all the room
to hear. The song that came
straight from her heart and poured
all that was in it out to that lone
" figure sitting forward tensely in
q wheel chair
Are you blind, my darling? Why
are you here, a stranger amid
strangers, when there are so
many who love you? What mir
acle brought me here to you?
The song was ended. Alix
climbed down from her chair, un-
needing the hands that reached to
help her, not hearing the applause
for her.
She walked down through the
aisle of beds.
"John!' That was all she said.
"Ahx!" He reached out both
his hands with the uncertain ges-
ture of the newly blind.

Wilson, an independent Republican,
and others who have been leaders in
the so-called charter" movement for
good government here, men who have
the respect of the community because
of their progressiveness, are openly
favorable to the election of Gov.
Landon.
Ohio is a doubtful State in every
sense of the word, and, after a three
day observation of conditions in
different parts of Ohio, have come
to the conclusion Landon has the
edge at the moment, but it is very
narrow margin and campaign develop
ments can wipe it out or increase it.
They are betting in Ohio 10 to 9
on Landon carrying the State. but
betting is an adventure in guessing.
People who think betting means any,
thing are reminded of the betting the
day before the Louis-schnelirg fight.
There may be some justification for
backing ones judgment on the
physical prowess Of two individuals
who have performed in combat. but
I cannot see much sense in betting
on a national election in which there
are about 20 States which can swing
the electoral vote either way, and
particularly when such pivotal areas
as Hamilton County. for instance,
can swing State into one column
or the other.
Even if I were in the habit of max
ing wagers, I would be hesitant to
make any on this national election.
Frankly, I would be afraid to lose If
I bet on either Mr.. Landon or MIR.
