EVANSVILLE MAKES ! TIGHT FOR LIFE OF i CONVICTED SLAYER EVANSVILL.B. Ind., April 8. When : cn March 26, press dispatches brought j word that Jesse Walker of Evansville, i had been sentenced to death at Brooklyn, N. Y., few persons in Evansville knew who he was. Great difficulty as experienced In locating :he i mother, who was finally found on a j little farm, two miles from the city.: Even Bhe had been kept in Ignorance cf the peril of her boy and only one j nr two of her daughters were aware j

the boy had been tried for the murder j of a candy merchant In Brooklyn and found guilty. The mother only knew he was accused of robbery. Within two days apparently all Evansvllle was Interested in the case of the, boy and steps had been taken, toward obtaining a new trial or a commutation of sentence by Governor Smith of New York. The Service Star Legion, composed of war mothers; the American Legion, the Navy Club, the churches, lodges, business and professional men and laborers all aided in the efforts of the Evansville newspapers to save from the electric chair, the boy so few had knkown when he lived In Evansville and where he enlisted in the navy. Efforts Did Not Slacken. Day by day the story was brought out and, as it was developed, it was little to the credit of the boy, but the effort in his behalf did not slacken. Sympathy for the twice widowed mother, the main support of the large family, most of whose members are still too Km all to make their own way, was the main factor. Belief that the boy was too young to die. however revoting the crime, was another appeal lor sympathy. The crime for which Jesse Walker was sentenced to die In the electric chair was the robbery and murder of Samuel Wolchock, a Brooklyn candy store proprietor. On the afternoon of March 11, 1919. Walker, Joe Auth and John Nichols, all navy deserters, entered Wolchock's store to rob him. Auth remained as lookout while Walker asked for a nickel's worth of candy, tendering a dime. When Wolchock turned to the cash register for change Walker and Nichols pointed revolvers

! has given the public a glimpse at the ! lighter side of the "big four" at work, j "Mr. LJoyd George," he said, "sat j in a large comfortable arm chair by

the fireside, and beside him was M. Clemenceau in another arm chair. President Wilson sat on their left, facing a window and 1 was at the

other end of a long table, with Signor

Orlando at my elbow. Conversation was often very friendly and informal and sometimes, when some unknown place was mentioned, a large man was

brought In and much to my delight. I

had tne privilege of seeing those four great men crawling on the floor."

Slandering the Kentackians (Louisville Courier-Journal) Kentucky mountaineers are famous, even in the fiat and gently rolling sections of Kentucky, and fame has its penalties. It was rumored in Louisville that fifty automobile loads of mountaineers armed with weapons of the latest design and fashioned were enroute from Winchester some persons said from Jackson, disregarding

the state of the roads, but others said i they came by rail to Winchester to 1 enjoy the prospective Lexington lynch- j lng. Very probably the story was pub- j

llshed as a fact in New York. And, as all periodicals, however boasttul of accuracy and independent investigation, get their facts largely from the newspapers, the Outlook's revamping of the fiction of the daily press is not surprising. The Kentucky mountaineer will carry a long squirrel rifle in the year 2,000, in romantic fiction, and always he will attend a shooting or any other inviting carnival of crime by ihe trainload when he has the opportunity.

Should he fail to do so he would not be the most famous of Kentuckians, the mountaineer of fiction.
