Albany, N. Y., April 25. Preferring death to disclosing the fact'that his wife had dishonored him, Charles Green, a farmer, would have gone to the electric chair at Dannemora prison next week but for a 60-day re spite granted today by Governor Dix. Green killed his daughter last June and terribly wounded his wife. When arrested, he refused to discuss the crime and when friends tried to get his sentence commuted to life imprisonment, he refused to sign the application. Mrs. Green revealed the reason behind the tragedy today when she made affidavit that her husband's dis covery that she had been unfaithful lay behind his act Furious with lage at his wife's Infidelity, Green tried to kill her, and when their daughter interfered, the. father struck her down. Mrs. Green swore In her affidavit that her husband had commanded her not to tell the story; that he had declared he "would rather die in the electric chair than have people know or say a single word against her character."

MOYER POINTS OUT THAT NO HOWL IS SET UP OVER THE TRIANGLE DISASTER BY EM. PLOYERS IT'S LABOR THAT WANT TO CINCH. UNITED PEERS LEASED WIRE. Cleveland, O., April 25. McNam ara's case has ail the earmarks of a conspiracy between, the employers' as sociations' and the detectives, said Charles H. Moyer today. So far as it has gone, It la purely a detective-mad case. Detectives in labor troubles navel been so thoroughly discredited that an innocent man can no longer be convicted on their evidence. The position taken by the officers of the Western Federation of Mineds, In coming to the Bupport of McNam ara and his associates, can be de pended upon, as the membership of organized labor, labor unions gener ally and Socialists recognize the fact that their officials would have been railroaded to the gallows if It had not been for the solidarity of work lngmen at the time of the Boise trial and the general protest expressed throughout the country against such hgih-handed proceedings. I hope McNamara will not be forced to languish in solitary con finement on coarse food as long as were the officers of the Western Fed eration. The McNamaras and Mc Manigal can rest assured that the working class iof the country will see to it that they are g'ven a fair trial. This new chapter of the class war will have the tendency to amalgamate workingmen, as It did in my case. Every blow the employers deal will but serve to weld the working class es closer together. Every effort will be made by the Merchants' and Manufacturers' As sociation of L03 Angeles to arouse prejudice against the men charged with the Times tragedy. Not one em ployer of those who are no so blood thirsty for the lives of workingmen gave voice to one word of condemna tion against the manufacturers re sponsible for the murder of 143 girls In the Triangle shirtwaist factory in I New York. There have been 53 ex plosions In the last few years in Chi cago as the result of a war of gam blers. Nobody gots excited about them. These instances show plainly the antagonistic attitude against la bor manifest in this cae. STOC K MARKKET FELT WOLVERTON'S DECISION New York, April 25.

Darrow, who con ferred here today with attorneys, re tained to defend the three men ac cused of the Los Angeles explosions, dictated the following statement for the United Press: (By Clarence Darrow.) . If John J. McNamara was not In California at the time of the commis sion of the crime with which be is charged, there Was r legal way of getting him back there without his consent It Is not claimed that Mc Namara was there at the time of the crime or for a long time previous thereto. Not knowing "these facts and not considering that there was anything unusual in the 'matter the governor of Indiana honored the requisition. It was then the duty of the officer to take McNamara to a circuit or su perior or criminal court and to in quire, first, whether McNamara was the man mentioned In the requisition from the governor of California, and, second, whether his prisoner was In California at the time of the commis sion of the crime. McNamara was simply taken to a police court, which was not author ized to hear his case. He asked for counsel and was refused. The judge simply asked him whether his name was McNamara. He had no oppor tunity for defense and was at once rushed out of the state. He was clearly kidnaped. The case is exactly parallel to that of Moyer and Haywood, who were denied counsel and taken out of Col orado In a special train to Idaho. In both cases the law was notoriously and plainly violated and the consti tutional and legal rights of American citizens denied. FEDERATION Ol- LABOR STANDS DY M'NAMARA r UNITED I'KHBS LEASED WIRE.
