ohioan Has Clear Title to
Six World Marks, With
Another Uncertain.
BY FRANCIS J. POWERS.

)HICAG0 June 23.-World
a track and field records con-
Y , tinue to pile up in the wake
of Jesse Owens feather feet.
The Ohio State man now has clear
title to six-having added the 100
meters to his collection in the N. c.
A. A. games-and o good piece Of a
seventh.
In recapitulation, Owens Is world
champion at the broad jump, both out
and indoors: the 220-yard dash on the
straightaway and around one turn;
the 220-yard low hurdles and the 100
meters. He has equaled the world
mark Of 0:094 several times, doing it
again Saturday, when he established a
new mark Of 1912 for the 100 meters.
The track and field never has pro-
duced Owens equal for both brilliance
and consistency. He never has been
beaten in an outdoor intercollegiate
competition and he has won four
events in both the N. c. A. A. and
Western Conference meets two seasons

ser; an amazingly fast and clever
hurdler for no big q man. In the 100
meters Owens led Foy Draper of
Southern California by IS inches and
headed Harvey Wallender Of Texas by
the same margin in the 200. The
Ohioan is a grand judge Of pace and
usually runs just fast enough to beat
his field.
Jesse is not ready yet" Larry Sny-
der, the Ohio Coach, told me before
the preliminaries Of the N. c. A. A.
I'm going to put him to work next
week so that he will be nearing his
peak in the Olympic finals at Randalls
Island, but still have something to
spare for Berlin.
HE has been good enough to win
with one or two jumps, but from now
until the Olympics he will specialize
on that event. With consistent prac-
tice, he will do more than 26 feet
again in the Olympics."
What do you think Owens can
do in the olympics ganes?" I asked
Frank Hill Of Northwestern, a veteran
coach who has trained many winners.

By q Staff Correspondent

BY o STAIR correspondent
RICHMOND, Feb. 21.-After
two judges, one in a Richmond
city circuit court and the other
in d Federal court at Norfolk, had
refused them writS of habeas cor.
pus, John Shell and Joe Jackson,
both colored, went to their deaths
In the electric chair in the Vir-
ginia Penitentiary here early to-
day for the murder of an elderly
couple in Spotsylvania county on
April 4, 1885.
Tie two condemned men walked
the last mile to ride the thunder
bolt" as convicts term death in
the electric chair, after having
received five stays of execution
since their conviction last May IA.
Bodies in Wen
They were convicted Of the muir
der Of Joha r. Coleman and his
wife. Both victims were beaten
and shot and their bodies thrown
in a well.
Shell was the first to go to the
chair, entering the execution
chamber at 7:35. He was pro-
nounced dead three minutes later.
A second jury entered the room,
and Jackson was lead In at 7:55
and strapped In the chair. Three
minutes later he was dead. Both
men were accompanied by the Rev.
Scott Burrell, colored minister.
Both seemed calm and walked to
the chair without hesitation.
F. A. Norrell, colored attorney
Of Richmond, first sought a writ
Of habeaS corpus from Judge
Julien Gum in Richmond city
circuit court. Judge Gum refused
the plea on the ground that he
could see no reason why his court
should interfere in the carrying
out Of the sentences. Judge Gum
pointed out the attorney had in
voked the Federal Constitution in
his plea and suggested he make q
similar plea to the Federal court
for this Virginia jurisdiction.
U. 8. Court Hears Plea
Norrell left here at noon yester.
day and went to Norfolk where
Judge Luther B. Way, Of the East
ern district Of Virginia Federal
court, was waiting to hear the
plea. Judge Way declined to inter
fere, saying the case should lie
with the United States Supreme
Court.
The attorney for the men said
they had been "inadequately rep
resented" at their trial. This was
denied BY Edwin Gibson, assistant
attorney general Of Virginia, who
said:
"'This last minute plea for a
stay Of execution is an unwar-
ranted interference with the
orderly process Of the Virginia
courts and an absolutely un-
reasonable delay in the admin
iStration Of justice"
OTHERS DOOMED
Four other condemned men
watched the two take the last
walk. Three of them are colored,
two awaiting execution for q
Roanoke murder, the third for a
murder in Princess Anne County.
The white man is Thomas c.
Hart, waiting to die for killing
q guard in a Scott county road
camp in 1882 when Hart escaped,
to be captured later.
The last man executed here
was John Daugherty, who on
February 7, was executed for the
murder Of a State highway
policeman during an attempted
bank hold up.
