TO KEEP NERVE

Gives Up Hope of Avoiding Death Tomorrow for Thrill Slaying.

LAKE CHARLES, La., Nov. 27 (U. P.) —Toni Jo Henry, 26, read a worn

t [prison Bible today in an effort to

bolster her nerve against the few steps she takes tomorrow from

t [her death cell to the electric

chair where she dies for shooting a traveling salesman as he knelt and prayed for mercy. Toni Jo abandoned all hope of avoiding death as the first woman

to be executed in, Louisiana, but

claimed to be cheered by the possi-

bility that her accomplice in the|:

slaying of J. P. Calloway, Houston, Tex., salesman, might receive a reprieve from a similar death sentence. Her accomplice was Finnon Burks, but Toni Jo, whose Christian name is Annie Beatrice, confessed it was she alone who fired the fatal shot as Calloway knelt in a frozen rice paddy and pleaded for his life. Husband Back in Prison

The thrill killer also found a measure of consolation in the words .of her convict husband, Claude (Cowboy) Henry, who was captured two days ago in a Beaumont, Tex. hotel after his escape from a Texas prison farm, Henry said he had sought either to see or free his wife before her execution which comes two days before their third wedding anniversary.

Henry had shot a San Antonio

policeman, and his wife, in an ef- :

fort to steal a car so she could rob an Arkansas bank and buy legal counsel for him, killed Calloway. He faces 48 more years of prison; she faces death tomorrow. —————— vt e—
