A propeller to replace the one

James Fltzmaurlee waits to take
it back to his two Gorman com

Kelley and Willos Silent
When Told By Warden,
Governor Denies Clem
encyChief Executive Is
sues Statement Explain
ing Official Course
Double Hanging Set for
Tomorrow.
SALEM. April 19. ft) When
informed this morning of the
nans, neither Kelly nor wllioa
thud a word to say, according to
Warden James Lewis. They were
absolutely silent, according to the
warden.
KALKM. Ore., April 10. P The
fate of Hllsworth Kelly and James
Willos was finally determined late
yesterday when Governor Batter-
son announced that he would not
commute their sentences from
death to life imprisonment.
At 8:30 o'clock tomorrow mor
ning one of the two will walk up
the gallows steps at the state peni
tentiary. A few minutts later the
other will follow, and the two con
victs Will pay the death penalty for
their part as accomplices In one of
Oregon's bloodiest prison breaks.
In this break, which occurred
August 12, 1925, J. M. Holman and
John Sweeney, two guards, were
killed.
Because of various legal turns In
the Kelly-Willos case the death
sentence was three times pro
nounced against the two convicts.
Both took appeals to the state
Ltmpi'eme court anil tho united
Stales supreme court, apu tnen
habeas corpus proceedings were
instituted in behalf of Kelly.
While Kelly's case was in court
Willos was from month to month
reprieved by Governor I'atterson.
In announcing his decision. Gov
ernor Batterson Issued a long
con-L,a,ement taking up in detail the
long legal proceedure.
The governor refuses to enter
Into a discussion of the capital
punishment law. dismissing It as a
statute that must be upheld.
Should he commute the sentences
because of the iJeAutremont case,
he declares, capital punishment
would be set aside during his ad
ministration and that tho whole
process of law would bo endan
gered. The Kelty-Willos case, says the
governor, must be considered on
its own merits; the clemency pow
er was not given the governor for
the purpose of equalizing sen
tences. Meeting the argument that the
prisoners are not legally guilty of
first degree murder, the governor
goeH at length into the story of the
crime and shows that the state
established the fact of first degree
murder against the two men on
three grounds, though neither of
the two may have killed anyone.
They entered with Tom Murray
and Oregon Jones Into a homicidal
conspiracy that resulted In mur
the process of which murder was
committed, and that they aided
and abetted Murray In murder,
which renders them equally guilty.
As for the history of the prison
ers, the governor mentions that
both have twice been declared
legally sane, that they are not
youthful, one being thirty and the
other 32 years old; that both hnve
criminal records. He reviews the
history of the fugitives after the
break, the kidnaping of the un
armed taxlcab driver who was
threatened with death, the com
mission of robbery and the intimi
dation of an entire family near
New Kra. all of whom were threat
ened with death.
The governor concludes that he
is without ground to interfere with
the verdict of the Jury.

representatives from the second

N. J. Slnnott, yesterday appointed
to tho United States court of
claims by President Coolidge.
Last night the former governor
declared that If his friends wrote
his name In on the primary elec
tion builot, he would consent to
run. Friends have been urging
him to enter the race for some
time.
SALEM, Ore., April 10, (ft)
While official and semi-official
observers about the state capltol
are wutchlng and waiting for more
definite word from Washington as
to when appointment of Congress
man Nicholas Sinnott to the fed
eral court of claims will become
effective and whether he will re
sign from his present seat In con
gress and withdraw as a candidate
for renomination, they seek to
fathom the election problems
which would arise out of 81nnott'a
Immediate retirement as a con
gressman and a candidate, the
Capital Journal Buys today.
How to fill the unexpired term
of Slnnott should he resign at
once, presents no difficulty the
law Is clear on that score. The
governor -would Issue a Writ calling -a
special election which could be
held simultaneously with the regu
lar primary election of May 18,
tho congressional central commit
tees for tho second district would
meet and nominate candidates
and the names of these candidates
would be certified to the county
clerks for a place on the speclul
election ballot.
Rut the delvers into the Intrica
cies of the election statutes do not
find the provisions governing the
selection of a candidate for the
nomination to take Sinnott'a place
on the primary election ballot so
lucid. '
There Is no question as to what
course the democrats of the second
congressional district must take If
they are to nominate a candidate
for successor to Slnnott at the pri
mary election. It can only be done
by action of the Individual voters
in writing in the name of a candi
date. But with the republicans,
who have a regularly qualified
cundldute for the nomination in
Slnnott through his action ln filing
for re-election, the situation is dif
ferent. The students of this new
and intricate election puszle be
lieve thy have discovered wherein
the election laws provide a man
ner In which the republicans mny
substitute another cundldute for
Slnnott und still get the name of
the substitute on the ballot for the
primary election.
Although the election laws pro- .
vide that the secretary of state
shall not less than twenty days
prior to an election certify to the
county clerks the names of the
candidates whose names shall be
printed on the official ballots,
sections 3933 and 3975 Oregon
laws, together provide a means
whereby candidates may be nomi
nated to take the places of those
who die, withdraw or are Ineligible
and require that the secretary of
state certify the names of such
substitute candidates to the county
clerks for places on the ballot even
though the regular time for certi
fication has expired.
Section 3975 provides that where
a regularly filed candidate for the
nomination for congressman,
"shall die, withdraw or for any
reason be Ineligible," the congres
sional central committee, or the
executive committee thereof may
nominate a candidate for ' such
vacancy and file tht nomination
with the secretary of state and
when "such nomination Is filed
with tho secretary of state he shall
certify tho same to the various
county clerks ln the manner pre
scribed by section 8933, Oregon '
laws," J
Section 3033 provides that the
secretary of state shall certify to
the county clerks the names of all
candidates whose names are to be
printed on the ballot and Imposes
upon hltn the obligation of certify
