a United States government official. Bell, convicted of the murder of a restaurant proprietor was saved two hours before the scheduled execution by action of Governor Louis L. Emmerson. Emmerson, who previously had refused a stay, acted after a plea by Murray W. Garsson, special assistant secretary of labor assigned to Chicago for a roundup of deportable aliens. GdVsson said his influence was exerted in a private rather than an official capacity. It was Bell’s second last minute escape from death He was to have died in the electric chair Oct. 16, but thirty-five minutes before the electrocution was planned his at-

tornyes obtained a writ for an insanity hearing. The reason for Emmersons reprieve after he previously had announced he would not intervene in the case was not known definitely. It was believed by prison officials, however, that Garsson hoped to obtain valuable information for his deportation drive from Bell. It was thought probably Bell’s aid is desired in rounding up members of the Capone gang, with which he assertedly was connected. That the plea for the concemned man’s life was powerful was shown by the failure of earlier appeals by prison officials and prominent Chicagoans on the grounds that Bell

This confession was regarded as of little credibility at that time. Whether it had a connection with the reprieve was not known. Meetings Held Secretly By Times Special .
