Archbishops Refuse To Meet Mrs. Simpson
Prelates of Canterbury, York Told King Edward Kea- son-Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin Also
 Made Known His Opposition
Ru VIRGIL PINKLEY

(COpwright, 1936, by Unlted freSsl
 London, Oct. IS - luPe~- The Archbishops of Canterbury and York recently respectfully requested to be allowed to decline an invitation to Q royal function at which Mrs. Ernest Simpson was scheduled to be present, trustworthy court circles revealed today.
 The Archbishop of Canterbury is the primate of all England, and the Archbishop of York ranks next to him in the Anglican church.
 Disclosure of the incident caused speculation over whether the two church dignitaries, backed by other high members of the peerage, might not put indirect pressure on the king, by their disapproval, to make his association with Mrs. Simpson less noticeable.
 This might be especially true now that Mrs. Simpson is about to be divorced. The American woman'S suit comes up in the Ipswich as- sizes within two weeks.
 King Distressed
 The incident involving the two archbishops, court sources said, in- volved a personal interview with

Hartford, Con-, Oct. 16-(U.PJ- The Sunday driver has lost his place Eo the Saturday motorist as the greatest highway menace, according to the governors commission on street and highway safety.
 A survey since 1923, showed the Saturday driver responsible for IS per cent of all accidents, while the Sunday operator was credited with 17 per cent.
 Responsible, the commission re- ported today, was the increase in lntra-city traflc on Saturday, a greater number of weekend travel CTS and the fact that flaw enforce uaant iS stricter on Sundays"

But it was emphasized that there was no reason for hurry. Instead, compact columns of seasonal na- tionalist troops, regulars, civD guards, foreign legionnaires, Moors cavalry and infantry, were march ing in toward the capital slowly and it seemed irresistibly.
 When they met a loyalist defense force they surveyed the situation deliberately. If the loyalist force was small, they stormed the posi- tion and took it. If it looked strong they went on, skirting it to either side, leaving the mopping up for the rear guard.
 For a time the nationalistS ex- tended their lines dangerously long The loyalists had hope, by a coun- offensive, of repelling them. But now with every mile the nationalists advanced their columns were mcv- ing in toward each other and toward the capital. 1" s
 The nationalist airplane fleet, su- preme in the air on all fronts, added to the demoralization fast growing in the loyalist ranks.
 All day the planes flew back and forth, refueling at improvised air ports near the battle lines, and raked the loyalistS with machine gun fire and bombs.

WHEEL CHAIR
TAKES B0RG|A
T0DO0M

OSSINTNG, N. Y, July II GIN.
SO.-FiniS was written today to
the sordid story of Mrs. Mary
Frances Creighton, Long Islands
modern Borgia, and Everett C.
Apologize, convicted of poisoning
Applegate's wife, Ada, so that
Apologize might be free to wed
Mrs. Creighton's adolescent daugh-
ter. The pair went to the electric
chair at Sing Sing Prison last
night vowing even to their con-
feSSors that they were innocent.
Mrs. Creighton, so paralyzed by
fear that she had to be wheeled
to the chair, Spurned an eleventh
hour plea by her attorney that she
take all blame for the poisoning
upon herself. In one of four diff
ferent confessions since her arrest
she had taken all the blame for
the poison Staying upon herself,
but later declared the Long Island
Legionnaire forced her to give the
poison to his wife.
Processes Innocence
Applegate, who met his doom
almost defiantly, made a parting
thrust at District Attorney Mar
tin w. Littleton, the prosecutor
who sent him to the chair. Turn
ing his face toward the 80 wit
neSseS in the execution chamber,
he said in a steady voice:
Before God, gentlemen, I am
innocent Of this crime, and"
he drew a heavy breath-"may
God have mercy on the soul Of
Martin w. LittletOn, of Nassau
county"
BORGIA IN FAINT
Mrs. Creighton, who had lain
inert on her prison cot for weeks,
never knew what happened. She
was in a dead faint when she was
wheeled into the death chamber.
Her eyelids did not so much as
flutter as two guards lifted her
out of the wheel-chair and depos-
tied her in the electric chair.
The woman, the first of the two
to die. was pronounced dead in
three minutes, at 11:04 p. M;
Applegate at 11:08. She was given
two shocks, Apologize three.
No Farewell
No word of farewell was ex-
changed by the pair as the near
unconscious woman, screened by
matrons, doctors and guards, was
wheeled past the cell of her
poison-partner. Apologize, had
he wished, could have called out
to her.
Mrs. Creighton was the first
person in the history of Sing Sing
to be wheeled to the chair. She
seemed already dead as the
guards clumsily lifted her into
the electric chair. Her eyes were
closed. Her head was hanging
on a loose, bent neck.
AS the guards lifted her, a
black rosary fell from her lap
to the concrete floor. She had
embraced the Catholic faith only
a few hours earlier.

REPORT DETOURs UPSTATE
Due to Canal and Other Bridge
Work EnrOute to Wilmington

Due to work on the canal bridge
at st. Georges and the three new
bridges between Blackbird and
Middletown, a number of detours
will have to be made. Next week
the road from Blackbird to Middle
town will be closed so that Cat
Tail Bridge, washed out two years
ago, at the same time the railroad
bridge washed out, resulting in a
train wreck, can be reconstructed.
This will not seriously interfere
with through traffic. During the
two-weeks' period the State High
way Department is constructing
Cat-Tail Bridge the government.
has agreed the St. Georges Canal
bridge will not be closed. 1t will
be open to one line of traffic all the
time during this period. During
the past several weeks. the canal
bridge has been closed entirely at
intervals. The work has taken
longer than was expected, result
of a Golfer dam giving way. A
good detour around st. Georges
bridge which is unknown to visit
ing motorists and apparently to
many Delaware motorists is by
way of crossing the canal at Reedy
oPint Bridge, below Delaware
City. Although that bridge is be-
inge nlarged and is open only to
one-way traffic, there is little de-
lay at the bridge due to light traf-
fic. Another detour for north
bound motorists turn left at Boyd's
Corner on the DUPONT Boulevard,
go to Port Penn, turn left follow
ing the river up to Delaware City,
and then can return from Della
ware City to the dupont Boule-
ward. Going south by this route
they would turn left at Wrangle
Hill on the road into Delaware
