No One Knows What Ho
"Will Do.
(Special to The Evening News)
SALEM, Nov. 11. Owing to the
fact that Additional petition and In
formation are yet to be submitted to
Governor Benson In the Finch and
Daly cases, the men who are sentenc
ed to be hanged tomorrow, It will
be Impossible for him to reach a de
cision In either case before late to-
night or Friday morning.
The executive has literally been
driven from all other nuslnesB in the
consideration of these cases, and baa
burned much midnight oil aud lost
much needed sleep through a sin
cere desire to properly perform his
duty. Relatives of the accused, led
In the Finch case by hla wife and
mother, have been most persistent in
their pleadings for commutation of
his death sentence to Imprisonment
for life, believing while there Is life
there Is nope for better conditions.
The petition of the attorneys of
Portland for clemency, and a dozen
others, with private and public let
ters pro and con in the same case,
have been worrying aud tiresome In
the extreme. When the matter Is
finally passed upon Governor Benson
will be compelled to take a much
needed rest to get to himself once
more.
There Is a petition in Salem today
on behalf of Finch, and parties are
signing it because the condemned
formerly lived here. Many are sign
ing it for the reason that Mrs. Finch
is circulating it for signatures.
