The governor late yesterday reprleYtn the death sentence imposed in the Kelley and Willos cases for one week. The governor indicated that any future action he would take in the Willos and Kelley cases would be guided by developments. To make its position in the case thoroughly clear the state supreme court issued a statement empha sizing that any recommendation to the governor would not be from the justices sitting as a court. According to a telegram by Brad ley Ewers, attorney for the con victs, to Governor Patterson, and later confirmed by Chief Justice Rand, a number of tne Justices will recommend commutation to life imprisonment if asked by the governor for a recommendation Indications are that only Justices Bean and Brown may not make individual recommendations. The statement issued by the court follows: ine memDers or the supreme court state that they have never authorized a statement that they would recommend o the governor hat the sentence of Kelly and Wil los be commuted to life imprison ment. On the contrary, upon appli cation made by Mr. Ewers, the attorney for the ironvtt-ied parties. tne court expressly declined to sign any recommendation in the premises, deeming that the duties of the court ended when it de nied the writ of habeas corpus and that as members of the court they had no further concern in the matter." The court's statement apparent ly was issued to clear up any false idea that the court, as a judicial body, will interfere or recommend to the governor in the Willos-Kel- lev cases.

The dead include Paul Evans, Jr., son of Dr. Paul Evans, prom inent in Missouri politics, and Mrs. R. G. Martin, wife of a local automobile dealer. Sixty or more persons were at tending the dance when the ex plosion occurred. The force of the blast blew out the front and rear walls of the building, carry ing many of the people with it. Many of the injured that es caped from the burning building were found lying in the street and on the opposite side from the dance hall.' They were rushed to two hospitals here, where extra doctors and nurses were called on duty. The fire was reported nearly, under control two hours arter tne explosion. Three buildings were destroyed.
