3 Men Sentenced to Die
In Nevada Gas Chamber
New Way of Executing
Criminals to Get
Second Test
(By Central Press.)
CARSON CITY. Nev. May 12.—
Sometime during the week starting
May 16 three men have been con-
demned to die by the world's most
modern method of execution—Ne-
vada's lethal pas plan. A humani-
tarian method this lethal pas execu-
tion and one which provides the
minimum fear and torture its pro-
ponents say.
Stanko Jukinch 28 a Jugo-Slav
who killed his 15-year-old sweet-
heart; Guadalupe Acosta GO Mex-
ican. slayer of a Nevada depotv
heriff and John II. Randolph. 54
murderer of his aped mother have
been chosen by the courts of Ne-
vada as the men who will test the
pas execution for the second time.
Whether they will go into the gas
cells on the appointed day is an-
other question.
I Aireuay nnnuoipn is praciicanj
assured of his sentence being com-
muted to life imprisonment. The
judge who sentenced' him and the
district attorney who prosecuted him
have urged a commutation and one
of the supreme judges who reviewed
the case thought he should have a
new trial.
Jukinch has asked for a writ of
habeas corpus in the supreme
court of this state an unusual pro-
cedure in the case of a murderer
and if he fails to he given his re-
lease. the case will be taken to the
United St tes supreme court and
that will postpone his death date.
A
and a hearing in the district courts
of this country will be held just
prior to the execution date when a
tert will he made of his sanity by a
jury.
Hydro-cyanic gas used in Cali-
fornia to eliminate pests in frui;
trees is the approved gas for use in
the lethal chamber. It comes in
liquid form and by means of a conr-
pre-sor is turned to gas and permit-
ted to flow into the rather large
room that is used as the death cham-
■ bcr.
When Gee Jon. a Chinese tong
slayer wa executed Feb. S. 1P-S.
he provide i a means of testing out
Nevada's scheme and the details as
worked out at that time will remain
practically the same a* the next ex-
ecutions.
Gee Je-r was strapped in a large
wooden chair in the death chamber.
Outside of the stone building in
which he sat a curious throng of

house and closeup of the chairs in which condemned

which looked iu directly on the face
of the condemned Chinaman. He ap-
puicntly was little concerned that
the end had come and stated b:.c*»
at the carious crowd outside. In a
room adjoining that in which Gee
Jon was placed the compressor wa
in rendines. and at tiie signal of tin

the gas forced into the room. A

the outside it appeared that death

When the ga was cleared front
the room the body was removed and

within a short time .vas buried.
One physician following the ex-

stitution. ’’
An appropriation of $24.00(1 for the

*vas authorized after stiff opposition.
Dr. C. W. Burgin of Texas moved t
strike out the appropriation.
Dr. H. D. Knickerbocker also of

NEW YORK COTTON
NEW YORK. X. Y.. May 12—An-
nouncement that the general strike
had been railed off in Great Britain
seemed to find comparatively little
reflection in the open action of the
cotton market today.
Liverpool was better than due and
the opening here was steady un-
charged to an advance of seven
prints hut trading was only mod-
erately active and early fluctuations
were rather irregular. At the best
ac.ive months showed net advances
of a to 11 points but there was
some telling around IK.fid for July
and 17.715 for December which prob-
ably was encouraged by the better
•bowing of the weather map and re-
ports of beneficial rain; in North
Carolina. This caused reactions of
four or five points front the best
but the market showed net gains of.
2 to 5 point at th" end of the first
hour. ^
Offerings increased later in the
morning witn prices easing off to
18.43 for July and 17.57 for December
oe about 9 to 13 point net lower on
the active months. Failure of the
lliilish settlement to bring in more
buying indicated tha the on !:ng of
the general trike had been discount-
ed while the weekly reports of the
weather bureau was considered rel-
atively unimportant.
These considerations probably pro- I
moted some rializing or liquidation i
bv recent buyers and prices were ^
within a point or two of the lowest at
mid-day.

DETROIT. Mich. May 5.—“As busy j

emphatically indicative of a busy <
person but Louisville has produced

dealers in the Kentucky metropolis.
Dan recently sold a Dodge Brothers
business coupe to Leslie She wmakwr
while the latter was directing traf-
fic at one of Louisville’s busiest ear-
ners.
The achievement happened to take
place under the eye of T. A. Bell In-
dianapolis district representative
while he was in Louisville attending
the motor show. Walking from his
hotel to the office of the local deal-
er one morning “T. A." recognized
Dan in vigorous conversation with a
tiaffic cop who with hand on sema-
phore alternately started and cheek-
ed the traffic.
Thinking Dan might be in trouble.
“T. A.’’ stopped to watch and was
surprised to see the young man seize
the semaphore and assume charge of
traffic at the same time handing
Officer Shewmaker a paper. Recog-
nizing the paper as a Dodge Brothers
order form ”T. A." impressed a con-
venient photogarpher into service
