NEW YORK, July 16.-President
Roosevelt has Cancelled the 15-year-
old conditional pardon Of Ignazio
Saietta-"Lupo the Wolf" in police
records-and sent him back to the
Federal Penitentiary at Atlanta to
serve the remaining 20 years Of his
term.
The President acted at the request
of Gov. Herbert H. Lehman, based on
report from District Attorney Will
liam F. X. Geoghan of Kings County
Geoghan said he had received COM
plants from Brooklyn bakers that the
59-year-old Saietta. described by
Geoghan as the successor to the rackets
of the murdered frankie Uale (Yalel
in 1928, was terrorizing Italian bakers
who refused to pay him tribute.
The district attorney said he was
convinced the stocky, gray-haired
Saietta was practicing extortion and
invoked provision of the conditional
pardon that stipulated Saietta must
''be law abiding and not connected
with any unlawful undertakings.
President Harding granted the par
don after Saietta had served 10 years
of a 30-year term for paying corpo-
rations dividends with counterfeit
money. He was released to go to Italy,
but later returned to the United States.
He was arrested secretly Tuesday.

POISON SLAYERS
WILL DIE TONIGHT
Mrs. Creighton, Hysterical,
May Be Carried to Chair.
AppIegate First.
ry TIE Associated Press.

OSSINING, N Y, July 16.-Sing
Sing Prison officials made preparations
today for the double electrocution Of
the convicted poison slayers of Mrs.
Ada Applegate, facing the prospect
of carrying Mrs. Frances Creighton
from her cell to the electric chair.
The 36-year-old woman, scheduled
to die sometime tonight, probably
about 10 Eastern standard time) with
Everett c. Applegate, husband Of the
slain woman, ate practically nothing
for breakfast after a restless night.
Prison ofiicials decided that Apple
gate should die first, reversing the
usual procedure Of deferring the
electrocution Of the strongest until the
last. Nervous and devoid Of the con-
fldent attitude he displayed up to
two days ago, the 39-year-old con-
demned man was moved to the pre-
execution chamber which is but q
few steps from the chair.
Woman Unprecedented Problem.
Mrs. Creightons case presented an
unprecedented problem to prison off,
cials, who said that If she is electro
cuted tonight she will be the first
woman who did not walk the last
mile"
II the electrocution Is not stayed
by action of Gov. Lehman or court
order, prison attaches indicated Mrs.
Creighton probably will be removed
from her cell, where she has been
bedridden for eight days, to the death
chamber in a wheel chair. They also
considered having prison attendants
carry her.
Suffering from hysteria and insist
ing she is unable to walk, Mrs.
Creighton had not been advised of
the report of the special commission
appointed by the Governor that "her
condition is the reaction to the situ-
alton in which she finds herself" and
that there was no evidence of dis
ease.
Clipping her hair for the electrode
and dressing her was to be deferred
until shortly before the time set for
the death march.
The man and woman likely will go
to their death without seeing each
other. They have had no glimpse
of each other since they were brought
to Sing Sing more than five months
ago.
Poison in Eggnog Charged.
Mrs. Creighton and Applegate were
convicted of murder in the death last
September of Mrs. Applegate, 268-
pound woman. The State charged the
defendants gave her poison in an egg
nog. Both families occupied the same
house at Baldwin, Long Island.
On June 80 the Governor heard
clemency pleas for Mrs. Creighton and
Applegate, but reserved decision. Both
have lost appeals to the Supreme Court
for new trials.
A letter from Ruth Creighton, 16-
year-old daughter of the condemned
woman, saying that Applegate had told
her he was "going to kill" his wife was
offered as basis for Mrs. Creighton's
plea. 1t was dated last April.
