Colorado Supreme Court To Decide
Whether Graham Will Die Aug. Is
Without a Review of His Conviction

DENVER, Up - For the first
time in Colorado history, the state
supreme court has been asked to
decide if a convicted murderer
should be allowed to die with
out review of his conviction.
The unprecedented petition was
filed Friday by court-appointed
lawyers for John Gilbert Graham.
Graham, "a, has been sentenced
to die in the gas chamber the
week of Aug. 26 for numbering
his mother in an airliner ex-
plosion that took 43 other lives.
The doomed man, married and the
father of two children, has spurn-
ed his lawyers effort to appeal
The petition asks the high court
to determine "as promptly as pos
sible' whether an appeal of the
case shall be required.
There may be numerous mo-
tives as to the request" made
earlier by Graham that he be
executed as soon as convenient,
the document said, adding:
I'VE feel that there is a prob
lem of legal ethics herein, and we
therefore ask for guidance and
ask that the Supreme Court of
Colorado resolve the question
herein by determining whether a
person of definite psychopathic
characteristics should be permit
ted to abandon his appeal in a
capital case, where the court-ap-
pointed attorneys believe there is
some merit to the legal conten-

New York Giants
May Shift Club
To Minneapolis

NEW YORK, R : President
Horace Stoneham of the New
York Giants admitted he has been
thinking for more than a year
about shifting the National Lea
que club to Minneapolis. At the
same time he said he was inter
ested in New York City's plans
for erecting a huge stadium on
Manhattan's west side which
would house the Giants.
"We've been thinking that
moving to Minneapolis for a
year and a half and l thought
everybody knew it, Stoneham
said. ITS no secret"
There has been much specuIa-
ton over a possible Giants shift
to Minneapolis, where the club
owns the American Assn. fran
chise, but not until now has
Stoneham personally conceded
such a move was being contem-
plated.

in their extraordinary careers
is that two such sophisticated.
egocentric and spoiled people
as Clare Brokaw and Harry
Luce fell in love. Naturally
the way of it was not smooth.
Harry Luce was married and
his strong religious convictions
and family feeling made
divorce particularly distaSteful
to him.
In order to be out of the
way and not influence him
Clare invited Buff Cobb to. go
to Europe with her in the
spring of 1885. Clare came
home in September to su-
perintend the production of

herself into the business of
rewriting and rehearsal with

November 81. 1885. 1t had
everything in it's favor and all

was married to Mr.. Henry
Robinson Luce on November
= %. 1885. In the spring Of 1896
she went of to White Sulphur
Springs for a week and came
back with a stack of pencil
covered yellow paper a foot
high--the manuscript Of "The
Women"
There have been various
stories and many profound
doubts as to the writing of
1.-THE Women" The play was
actually written in three days.
THAT was the first draft"
Clare says. but it was the one
Max Gordon bought. OF course
I spent two months rewriting
it when we went into produce
ton"
When The Women" was
typed Glare sent 1t. off to
Brock Pemberton. 1t came
back home to roost. Next she
mailed it to John Golden. and
that gentle-minded producer
dropped it as though it had
burned his fingers. Glare
thought it was good, and
wanted Max Gordon to read it,
but he was disinterested. ).
She happened to mention this
to Bernard Baruch, who
promptly called his old friend
Max and asked him to read it.
OF course Gordon bought the
play. For the next six months
Clare threw herself into the
work of production.
A Classic
"The Women" opened at the
Ethel Barrymore Theater on
the night after Christmas, 1886.
Word had got around that it
was something special and the
audience was spectacular and
they got something worthy of
their glitter. Not that the
critics exactly acclaimed it.
But New York's worldlings did.
And so did people everywhere
from Singapore to Oslo and
WayStationS in between. In
evitably it made astronomical
amounts of money for all con-
cerned.
One would have thought that
with THE Women" piling up
profits in every known cur
rency, producers would have
been breathing down Clare's
neck while she wrote her next
play. The fact is, she scared
them. She took a month to
write Kiss the Boys Good
Bye" 1t was a farcical comedy.
Among impresarios who de-
cided it was too hot to handle
were Max Gordon and Gill
bert Miller. Brock Pemberton
decided to risk it. He got his
reward. kiss the Boys" was
another smash hit.
While his wife had been
scaling her second pinnacle of
fame and fortune, Harry Luce
had not been. simply sitting
still. In November, 1896, the
first issue of Life. appeared.
When Harry told his wife that
he had bought the old Life for
SOS, 1000 for its name, she looked
a little SNUG and said, You
paid $4,000 too much. Condo
Mast could have had it for
$4,000 in 1888" That $4,000
turned out to be peanuts as
Life caught on like a flash
fire and its circulation zoomed
past Time. s

Luce realized guns onehored in ce-
ment were no good against guns
