Hi, Folks:
The A. NJ. E. Conference being
held in town this past week really
brought a number of out-of-town-
ers to our fair cities. l talked with
a lot of the visitors and their
praises of our citizens, our fair
cities, and our countryside really
made one feel kinda proud.
PUZZLERS:
What well-known Mpls. couple
are expecting a visit from "Sir
Stork" around Xmas time? d.
Which out-of-town couple (the girl
is formerly hometown lass) are
also expecting a bundle from
heaven" round the Yule days? @. g.
A well-known society" couple in
St. Paul were mighty red in the face
last week when a big furniture
company sent their van out to pick
up their exquisite living room suite
because of non-payments. (The
matron in this case was having
club meeting at her home that
afternoon, too-Smiles.) E. Has R.
of St. Paul made up his mind yet?
(Will NJ. of st. Paul or C. of Mpls.
be the lucky one?) E. What we'll
known Minneapolis matron (who
claims to be psychic) could really
go into a flourishing fortune telling
business if she cared to? Ut seems
she predicted the death of a Ger
tain person which came exactly
true and she also predicted the
futures of two or three Twin Citians
who have done quite well.)

Louis (Lepke) Buchalter New
York racket king and leader Of
Murder, Inc, who was saved from
the electric chair last night by the
eleventh hour Intervention OF Gov,
Thomas E. Dewey, pinned his ebb'
ing hopes OF life on the U. s.
Supreme court today.
Eighty-flve minutes before the
gang leader was to have died In
Sing Sing prison, Dewey postponed
the electrocution until later in the
week" after receiving advice from
Lepke's counsel that an application
for a writ OF certiorari will be filed
In washington by noon Saturday.
The postponement was announced
by Warden william E. Snyder OF
Sing Sing and at Albany by Charles
D, Brietel, counsel for the Governor.
It came rs q surprise, particularly
since It followed q last-minute in
terview in Lepkes death cell be-
tween the condemned man and
Frank 8. Hogan, New York county
district attorney.
The conference strengthened re-
ports that Lepke was breaking the
unwritten law of gangland and
singing" probably involving other
high gangland figures In on effort
to save his own hide, but Brietels
announcement stated specifically
the postponement was granted only
because Of impending action by the
supreme court.
Lepke, Emanuel (Mendy) Weiss
and Louis Capone, partners in Muir
der, Inc, an organization that killed
some 80 persons by contract, all
were convicted Of the murder Of
Brooklyn candy shop proprietor
Their executions were set for the
week beginning Feb. 20.
In his announcement OF the post

bling king, was wounded critically
today In the latest phase Of the
underworld's battle for control OF
the city's lush rackets, left leader
less by the suicide OF Frank (The

Both sides Of his automobile were
ripped by slugs, leading police to

toned on both sides Of the street.
Williams, regaining consciousness
after the shooting, staggered from
his automobile and sought help
from nearby houses. He was unable
to gain admittance before oolice,
summoned by resident awakened
by the fusillade OF shots, arrived to
take him to the Holy Gross hospital.
Several hours after the shooting,
williams was transferred TO the

believed designed TO give him pro-
