SLAYER SEEKS AID
OF JUSTICE UNIT
Thomas Jordan Files Peti.
ton for CIemency in
Fiqht for Life.

Abandoning . proposed appeal to
the Supreme Court. attorneys fol
Thomas Jordan have filed q petition
for executive clemency at the Justice
Department in an effort to save the
30-year-old former busboy from the
electric chair, it was learned today.
Jordan was convicted last Winter
Of the Good Friday murder Of Mrs.
Lizzie s. Jaynes. cashier. during q
hold-up Of the Garden-T-Shoppe in
1891.
The petition was signed by Attor-
neys Harry T. Whelan and William
B. O'Connell, who contended Jordan
should not have been convicted OF
first-degree murder and that the evil
dence indicated he could be guilty OF
nothing more than second-degree
murder.
Because Of this petition, Justice
Peyton Gordon Of District Court post
poned Jordan's scheduled execution
from January to February 10.
A prior postponement from Decem-
Der IL to January had been obtained
by the lawyers to allow them to seek
a review Of the case by the Supreme
Court. The point they wished to raise
In the highest tribunal was that q
notary public served on the trial jury.
Since then. however, the Supreme
Court has ruled that Government
employees and others whose interests
may be identified with the Govern
ment are competent jurors in criminal
trials.
