Is serving 50-year term for murder.
Brings Death Sentence.
Ironically, the desire of the couple
to aid each other brought on the
death sentence for Toni 10, and put
two escapes against the prison
record of her husband.
Following her arrest for the shoot
ing of Joseph p" Galloway, Houston,
Tex, salesman, she explained she
had intended to use Mr.. Calloway's
car to rob a bank in order to obtain
money with which to facilitate
Henry's prison release.
Mr.. Galloway was tagged down
at Orange, Tex, by Mrs. Henry and
an accomplice. Posing as hitch
mixers they overpowered him, cram
med him into the luggage compart-
ment of his own car. Later Mrs.
Henry shot Mr.. Galloway after first
ordering him into an ice-crusted
rice field where, stripped of clothes,
he knelt in prayer for his life.
Execution Stayed.
Mrs. Henry twice was granted new
trials by the State Supreme Court.
Following her final conviction and
announcement of the death sentence
for early August of this year, Henry
escaped his Texas prison, presum-
ably to attempt her rescue. He was
captured and shortly afterward his
wife's attorneys secured stay of
execution by attacking the consti-
tutionality of Louisiana's new elec-
trocution law.
Several months later the United
States Supreme Court upheld the
law, again the date for her death
was set, this time for November %.
Henry broke free second time in
a futile effort to reach Lake Charles.
Mrs. Henry was openly joyful over
his capture alive, saying she feared
for her mates life.
Toni 10 said that Henry broke
her Of the drug habit which she
acquired when she was 16 years old,
and was the first man ever to treat
her decently.

comment from Rubber Administrator
William M. Jeffers and Assistant
Administrator L. D. Tompkins, and
indicated that the Government may
formulate program to relieve its
tire shortage to some degree in this
manner.
In the demonstration a large-size
valve was attached to an automobile
rim, and an ordinary casing-minus
the tube-was mounted and inflated.

he said.
The demonstration was given by
John B. McGay, Tulsa manufac-
turer, and Victor F. Barnett, chair
man of the Tulsa War Transporta-
ton Committee. 1t was staged in
the Districts Municipal Garage.
After the tubeless tire had been
mounted and inflated, C. N. En-

One hundred guests were routed in
their night clothes from the $50
year-old Hotel Packer early today
when fire swept through the two

third and fourth floors. Others
descended fire escapes, while others
left by inside stairways.
Three British sailors, the only
casualties, were injured.
Middlesex County Coroner Eu-
gene Mullen, one OF the first on
the scene, said that as he arrived
many guests were leaning from win
dows shouting for help. Ladders
were quickly placed about the build
ing by f1remen.
Fire Chief Martin Schmidt said
two persons jumped to safety into
nets and that "at least couple

Mr.. Schmidt estimated the loss at

undetermined.
Red Cross canteen workers set up
headquarters in a church for guests
who had lost virtually everything.
Among them were two British SAL

now with only their undershirts and

Some have gone as much as $4,000

and they were on very bad tires-we
just put them on to see how far they
would run.
We've had two punctures in 10000
miles. The tires go down very slowly
and therefore are safer. Blowouts
probably will be the same as with

An onlooker asked Mr.. Jeffers
why the Government had not re-
quested excess tubes as well as tires.

he replied, but 1t still can be done"
Mr.. McGay suggested that such a

by having castings and tubes turned
