Fate of Monarchy at Stake; Gunmen Try for Ballots.

BULLETIN ROME, June 3 (U” P,).—Early returns in the Italian election count showed the Communists running a poor third while the first trend was toward abolition of the monarchy in favor of a republic.

The gun battle was the only serious incident in the day and a half of voting which ended at noon today. An estimated 80 to 90 per cent of the 28,000,000 eligible voters cast ballots. Women voted for the first time in a national election. Results of the voting, expected tonight, will show whether Italy will have ‘a monarchy or republic.

BATON ROUGE, La, June 3 (U. P.).~~A spokesman ix the governor’s office said today that a new reprieve for Willie Francis “probably” will be issued today or tomorrow, He sald the stay of execution was forthéoming because the state supreme court has approved an appeal to the U. S. supreme court of Willie’s case.

. NEW. ORLEANS, June 8 \U. PH» ~The flame of hope in Willie Francis’ struggle for life was snuffed out today by the state pardon board, which refused to commute to life

imprisonment his second date with Louisiana’s portable electric chair. Thus, Willie's last avenue of escape was shut off. He must return June 7 to the death seat which failed to function a month ago today when he originally was scheduled to pay the penalty for murder. The pardon board, composed of Lt. Gov. Emile Verret, Atty. Gen. Fred LeBlanc and Trial Judge James D. Simon, denied the application of Willie's attorney, Bertrand DeBlanc, for commutation of sentence. Throughout last Friday, Mr. De- | blanc streamed witnesses before the | pardon board hearing in civil dis- | trict court here in an effort to save Willie's life. ‘But Mr. DeBlanc apparently (failed to move the poker-faced men | who were empowered to cancel the 17-year-old Negros second trip to the electric chair at St. Martinville,
