On recommendation by Direc-

Mr.. Aud said construction OF

the wording sought by the rail-

Green Loses
Second Appeal

Everett D. Green today lost q
second throw in his gamble with
death when the U. s. Court Of
Appeals for the District Of Co
Ilumbia upheld his conviction Of
lfirst-degree murder.
Green, IS. had been sentenced
to be executed this Saturday fol
the arson-death of Miss Betty
Brown, SO, on May 26, 1858.
Green was convicted of first
degree murder In the death
which occurred as q result Of O
fire at Ills Massachusetts ave-
nue. NV.
Green was also convicted in
1854 on an arson charge and
sentenced to serve from one to
three years on that charge. He
did not appeal.
Under terms of the order de-
|creeing his execution. the date
will be postponed pending the
formulating Of today's appellate
ruling. which will take about
two more weeks.
Attorney George Blow, who rep
resented Green, said he would
appeal to the Supreme Court.
Green originally was convicted
|of second degree murder and was
given a jail term.
He decided to appeal that con-
|viction on the theory that, at his
age. he probably would die in
prison. The appellate court
GRANTED a new trial with the
warning that he may be con-
victed Of first degree murder and
face a mandatory death penalty.
But Green preferred to take
that chance and, at the second
trial, was convicted Of first
degree murder.
In today's opinion, the appel
late court ruled against a de-
tense contention that since
