SNOOK REFUSES TO COMMENT ABOUT RULING Shows No Emotion When Told of Adverse Court Decision. Bu United Preti COLLMBUS, 0., Dec. 26.—Dr. James Howard Snook, former Ohio State university professsor, was informed today that the state supreme court had refused to review Ills conviction and sentence to death for the murder of Theora Hix, his co-ed sweetheart. The decision, announced Christmas eve, was withheld from Snook until today, unless his wife Helen told him secretly, so as not to mar his observance of Christmas. Meantime, his attorneys were preparing a petition fgr a hearing. He is sentenceed to die Jan. 31. Snook dined in death row in the itate pen tentiary Wednesday with four other condemned men. He ate heartily, seemed in his spirits and later in the day was visited by his wife, who a few hours earlier had heard newsboys selling extras, announcing the supreme court’s decision. The former professor of veterinary medicine, when informed today that the court’s decision had been adverse, exhibited no emotion, nor would he comment. Should Snook’s petition for a rehearing be denied, his attorneys are expected to appeal to the United States supreme court. His only other hope is executive clemency, but Governor Cooper has intimated he will keep hands off. LOU TELLEGEN BURNED Noted Actor Goes on With Opening Performance of Play, However.
