WIFE FIGHTS - 1 TO SAVE BAKER ! DEATH SUSPECT New Holes Are Blasted in Alibi of Realty Man in * Slaying of Girl. tv [‘nilr/t Prttt WASHINGTON. July 23.—Mrs. Ruth C. Campbell, Oak Crest <Va.) housewife and mother, made desperate efforts today to convince authorities that her husband, Herbert M. Campbell, is not the murderer of Mary Baker. Prostrated ever since her husband's arrest on a murder warrant, Mrs. Campbell rallied to go before Washington and Virginia investigators to protest that the accused man was at home with her on the night of April 11 when the pretty navy department clerk was slain. Together with her two children by a previous marriage. Mrs. Campbell was to be questioned at length If her condition permits. Holes Blasted in Alibi Meanwhile, detectives had puifctured several additional holes in Campbell's alibi and were confident of obtaining further admissions from him today. After confessing that his story Implicating Herman H. Barrere was false. Campbell admitted Tuesday that he was not at home "peeling potatoes for his wife" at 6 p m. on the day Miss Baker was shot to death near the entrance to Arlington National cemetery. Tlie suspect, a nuddle-aged real estate operator, has also admitted parking his car on the day of the murder near the culvert where the girl’s body was found.. Police also stress the fact he no I longer denies having been at the corner of Seventeenth and B streets at about the time Miss Baker was last seen, engaged in an altercation with a man in an automobile. Grilling Breaks Story The gun which first brought j Campbell into the case was sent to- j day to Chicago for inspection by Major Calvin Goddard, ballistics expert. Campbell owns the weapon, which has been identified through bureau of standards tests as the gun which fired the death bullets. Until Tuesday's five-hour grilling broke down his story, Campbell had maintained the gun was stolen from his home on Apriil 10. He implicated Barrere in the theft, thus causing a nation-wide hunt for the latter. Barrcr now has been cleared of any connection with the killing, but is held as a material witness.

4 PAY LIVES IN EXECUTION FOR HOLDUPKILLING Gangsters Meet Death Without Flinching; No Farewells to Foe. TRENTON, N. J.. July 23.—Four gangsters died in the electric chair here Tuesday night for the murder of a bus company cashier during a holdup. All met death without flinching One had expected a last-minute reprieve for aiding in convicting the others. The men were Victor Giampietro, Frank (Jersey Kid) McDrine, Joseph Melanga and Joseph Radc. Giampietro was the first to die. Branded a stool pigeon by his former pals, he did not have the solace of their farewells as he went, to his death. They sat in silence in their cells as he walked by, smoking a cigar, and accompanied by Father Luis Guzzardi, prison chaplain. Without a word, Giampietrc took his place in the chair and was strapped in place. The current was turned on at 8:07 and in five minutes he was pronounced dead. Mcßrine wore a red carnation, pinned to his shirt above the heart. As he entered the death chamber he stopped and shouted to his companions: “O. K., boys.” "Good-by, Mac,” they answered. Melanga was next and then Radc. Rado was dead by 8:33. The trio had the satisfaction of seeing fulfilled their wish that Giampietro precede them to the chair. All four were members of a gang that participated in a holdup at the Lake street car barn of the public service co-ordinated transport in Newark Oct. 15, 1928. George B. Lee, cashier, was killed and $3,000 taken. A fifth member of the gang, Frank Orlando, was killed in a Chicago gun battle two months after the robbery.
