Deahl’s signature, however, Bailey said, was not affixed until last Saturday. Issuing the reprieve order last night the court pointed out that the death warrant was void because it was handed down before Judge Deahl had signed judgment papers. Meanwhile Warden Waller Daly was instructed to hold Scott pending further court orders. Bailey returned to Indianapolis today to prepare his next move, which he intimated would be an appeal to the Supreme court.

JUDGE TO GIVE RULING MONDAY (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) had found him guilty of that count because it did not want to sentence him to death. Had the jury found that Miss ITraves died of attacks, as the state charged in another of the four counts in the indictment, the death sentence would have been mandatory. Judge Crumpacker reminded I Kirkland that if a new trial was j granted, all charges in the indict- j ment would be re heard and the defendant again would take the I chance of being sentenced to death. I Kirkland’s attorneys replied for him that he was willing to assume the risk on the possibility he might l be freed. POLICE SEEK SLAYER OF YOUNG STUDENT NURSE — (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE 1 j The muader warrant was issued , late last night in Newport. R. 1., I county court by Judge Max Levy on request of state police. A short time later he ordered Galvin ’ I I held in the county jail in $5,090 l j bond as a material withers. j The petite blonde nurse was i found strangled to death in a clump of 1 lushes yesterday along-! side a lonely road in Tiverton. R.1., near here. Galvin, confidante of Hathaway, led state police to the spot after telling them he had ’ been taken there by the hunted I man. Galvin quoted Hathaway as saying he had parked there with Miss Russell and had been surprised by two men who forced him at gun point, to leave while they assaulted the girl. Galvin told police he had accomI panied Hathaway to the clump of 11 bushes and that Hathaway had left him with the remark, “You'll never see me again." Dr. Charles H. Bryant, medical ■ examiner, said his autopsy showed strangulation as the cause of I death. A microscopic examination was to be made at the state lalior- ■' atory today to determine if a i criminal assault had been made. ’; Police here checked reports to- ■ day that Hathaway had not been ’ i alone when he called for Miss Russell Monday night. Mrs. De- ' light S. Jones, superintendent of i nurses, said two nurses reported , Miss Russell had invited them i separately to accompany her with Hathaway, but that they refused.

Mrs. Jones said she was sure Hathaway entered the hospital alone but she "heard rumors’’ that another man waited outside in the machine. Mrs. Jones descried the young nurse as a "brilliant student," but added that her department had not been altogether satisfactory. She described her as a “very unusual girl." Her parents live In Portsmouth. 11. I, where her father, Carl E. Russell, is superintendent of a lumber company. She had two younger brothers. Friends described Hathaway, known to them as "Pinky,” as a I young man about town who dressed fashionably and was as popular with women as Miss Russell was i with young men. He dabbled in local Republican politics, perhaps with a view to following in the footsteps of his father, Louis E. Hathaway, Sr., a member of the Massachusetts house of representatives. Since 1929 young Hathaway had | be. n moderately wealthy by reasi on of an inheritance from a grand- | father. He had captained his high i school basketball team and played i baseball. His brother. Louis, Jr., lis a Springfield physician. Anoth- : er brother. Alden, is employed as I a clerk here. TAMMANY HALL RALLIES FORCES (£ONTINUED ON PAGE THREE) many lawyers have begun the groundwork of their defense. They arc seeking to prevent Samuel Seabury, probable chief inquisitor for the legislature, from holding secret preliminary hearings to obtain evidence against suspected judges and officials, holding that testimony developed on such hearings. which might prove advantageous to the officials, could be disregarded or suppressed by the Republican-controlled inquiry committee if it so desired. Mayor Walkejr at present is facing a separate investigation demanded of Gov. Roosevelt by the city affairs committee. Roosevelt announced that the legislative nquiry would not interfere with the formal matter, but when Walk■r has answered the charges against him- —which include negligence and misfeasance- Roosevelt is expected to turn the charges over to the legislative body. There was little comment today rom Tammany leaders on the "orthcoming inquiry. Republicans here were jubilant. Others who have led the demand for an inquiry reiterated their warning that t should be nonpolitical. The majority felt that with Seabury n charge it would be satisfactorily so. Seabury. who has been referee I in the recent inquiry into police i department corruption and the I magistrates court, is himself a Democrat, but always has remained aloof from the Tammany I irganization. o Mr. and Mrs. Paul Saurer visited n Fort Wayne Tuesday. —————— — ~ , Children Like This Safe Prescription Coughs and Sore Throat Relieved Almost Instantly Stop children's coughs and sore throats before these ailments lead to dangerous ills.
