PITTSBURGH, Nov. 3.-The
hope Of 40-year-old William McKin-
ley Blackwell, q colored man sched-
uled to die November Z in the cleo
trio chair, rested today in q unique
appeal by his fellow prisoners to
Gov. George H. Earle.
The prisoners In the Allegheny
County (Pittsburgh) jail knelt last
night ut their Wednesday service and
prayed that Blackwell's life would
b saved. Then 1853 of them signed
a petition directed to the governor
pleading for communication of the
death sentence.
Blackwell was convicted of STAY
ing Richard Parker, A, q rival for
the affections of Blackwell's COM
mon law wife, on July 6, 1886, at
nearby Whitaker. He was originally
sentenced to die on October 10, but
Gov. Earle granted a reprieve until
November Z.
The petition to the governor read:
I'VE who know him, who have eaten
and smoked with him for a year and
half, beseech you to save this man
that he may live to see you lead to
the constructive expansion of hu-
mainly"
Attendance at the Wednesday
night prayer service is usually about
1875, but last night 300 men crowded
into the cell area where the service
was held and 200 more stood on the
tiers.

Fellow Prisoners Ask Earle
To Save Doomed ,SIoyer

Chaplain A. w. Stremmel asked
them what hymn they wanted to
sing and prisoner called out, God
Will Take Care of YOU" Standing
In the front row, the condemned
man sang with the others.
Warden John Mcneil, who signed
the petition also, said the demon
stration was one Of faith in q fell
low prisoner unprecedented in his
40 years at the jail.
The chaplain asked Blackwell If
he would speak, and Blackwell, ris-
ing, said:
II don't have much education, SO
! can't express myself very well, but
whether we know "A from b we
know how to ask God to save us
from the devil and lead us to Heaven
when our times comes"
AS Blackwell sat down Chaplain
Stremmel said:
I'VE all have made mistakes. You
men are being punished for yours
But I want to tell you that this is
as fine thing as you have ever done
or could do. 1t is a generous thing
and Christian thing to do"
Blackwell made a last" request
He asked a reporter to send a CODY
Of his story and a picture of the
prayer service to "the woman who
used to be my wife" Blackwell
identified the woman as Mana Mae
Blackwell of Brodnax, Va.

Gambling Sentiment Strong.
Although only five days remain
before voters 60 to the polls in
what is expected to be one of the
bitterest fights between Republicans
and Democrats, neither side would
comment for or against the ma
chimes today. Sentiment in the
county appears to be favorable to
gambling. One official said senti-
ment Is strong for legalization of
gambling since it has been found
that there is no control for it."
1t was reported that police are
poWerless to act because of fear
they will offend certain persons in
high places"
Circuit Court Clerk Brice Bowie,
who issues licenses for music boxes
and pinball machines, said these Ii
censes are being used to cover the
slot machines, of which he estimated
there are about 700 in the county.
No permits have been issued for the
money machines, as such, Mr.. Bowie
said.
Many of the machines in the
county pay of in cash, operators
putting IS, $40, $40 and $50 bills
in the glass case to entice players.

concern handling slot machine con-
cessions. He announced he will ship
the AZ machines owned by the COM
pany back to Roanoke.
He disclosed that the take" from
this group of machines has run as
high as $500 or $500 in one week and
as low as one-tenth of those
amounts. Last week, he said, the
proceeds totaled only $50. He as
serted all of this money is sent to
Roanoke, and he receives only q
salary of $50 per week for supervis-
ing the machines.
The former police officer said the
business was a "cut-throat racket"
that encouraged burglary of stores
and stealing of machines. He re-
ferred to the case of two men he en-
ployed to guard machines, only to
find they were stealing them.
He declared he will start swearing
out warrants right and left this aft
ernoon If he finds any machines in
operation.
Chester R. Venemann, reporter for
the Washington Times, said he was
thrown out of Bladensburg bar
becue today when he and a photog-
rapher attempted to take pictures of
slot machines in action. Returning
to the place, he reported, q call was
made for police and he was arrested
by a town officer on a charge of
disturbing the peace" He was
brought before Justice of the Peace
Henry H. O'Neill, who refused to is
sue a warrant for lack Of evidence,
and Mr.. Venemann was freed.

Widow 5 Early Trial
Not Opposed by U. s,
Fihe||y Declares
Government Seeks More
Than $l,325 From
Mrs. R. W. Imbrie

Assistant United States Attorney
John w. FINELY said today the
Government has no objection to an
early trial in its case against Mrs.
Katherine Gillespie Imbrie, execu-
trix of the estate Of her husband,
Robert w. Imbrie, who was slain and
accorded hero's honors while he
was serving under the State De-
partment abroad.
A supposed secret code message,
allegedly sent by the then Secretary
of State Charles Evans Hughes, in
structing Mr.. Imbrie to establish
headquarters at Angora, but without
using his official title, has never
been presented to the General Ac-
counting Office, said Mr.. Fihelly, in
order to justify the $1,325, plus in
terest, which the Government is
now claiming as due.
Authority for the expenditure has
never been shown the General Ac-
counting Office or the controller
general, in accordance with law,
although the question has been in
dispute for some years, and while
the widow and her attorney have
had extensive opportunity to do so,
the authorization, in the form of
the supposed secret code message,
or otherwise, has never been pro-
duced, Mr.. FINELY said.
Attorneys Royal T. McKenna and
Henry j. Balzer filed Mrs. Imbrie's
answer yesterday in District Court,
in which she denied her husband
had failed to keep his accounts
in proper order. In asking that the
Governments complaint be dis
missed Mrs. Imbrie recites in her
answer that her husband went to
Gallapol and Lemos to investigate
the situation in Russian refugee
camps and did work relating to
Standard Oil Co. properties in Ana
tolia and the American Tobacco
Co.'S interests in Angora, as we'll
as other assignments. The Govern
ment is challenging the validity
and authority for some of these
expenditures, incurred while Mr..
1mbrie was State Department Of
f1cer in the Near East.

tation letters previously sent out
with the names Of Senator Guffcy
and Gov. George H. Earle, Demo-
cratic senatorial nominee, on the
letterhead, the committee said 1t
had been unable to obtain sworn
statements from w. P. A. workers
that they had received the letter.
The committee said, however, that
about IS per cent of the employees
of the Public Assistance Bureau in
Washington, Pa, State agency
receiving Federal funds, had re-
ceived the letter. Committee inves-
tigators have not yet determined
whether any of these persons made
contributions, Senator Sheppard
said.
The committee previously ruled
that campaign solicitation letters
bearing the names of Senators or
senatorial candidates are in viola
ton of the law.
Buckley Limits Aid.
Taking up campaigns in other
states, the committee said Senator
Buckley, Democrat, of Ohio, candi-
date for reelection, had advised
his campaign committee against ac-
cepting any further contributions
from Federal employees. The COM
mittee previously said it was in
formed approximately so Federal
employees had contributed to Sena-
tor Bulkley's campaign fund, a prac-
tice the committee has ruled to be
in violation of the law.
The Ohio Senator contended, in a
letter made public by Senator Shep-
pard today, that the committees
ruling on this question was in the
nature OF a new decision and should
not be applied retroactively before
October 10, when it first was given
wide publicity.
Senator Buckley said he was ad-
vised that his campaign committee
had acted under advice of counsel
ito the effect that the payment and
acceptance of such contributions was
not in violation Of the law"
Earlier the Sheppard committee
had announced it was sending its
agents back to Jersey City today for
a further inquiry into political con-
ditions.
The committee said a preliminary
investigation showed registration
lists in that stronghold of Mayor
Frank Hague, vice chairman of the
Democratic National Committee, had
not been properly purged."
The agents also were directed to
investigate complaints that Jersey
City and Hudson County employees
were being forced to contribute
100000 from their salaries for
Democratic campaign finances.
George Biehl, editor of the Hudson
News of Union City, N. j., made the
accusation.
