Miitu Mjprt'inv court today stood
between the huhKmau'tt nuuso anil
Mrs. Ada I-eboucf and IJr. Thomns
-'. Drclier, Hcntcnccd to di-alli for
the murder of the woman's hus
band, .la in cm Lcboucf. Ciovcrnor
llucy 1. Ixhik hist lily hi decUiit-d
to commute tho death penalty of
the pair to life imprisonment.
With the hope of aid from the
governor gone, counsel for the con
demned today phi lined to appear
before .ludfct .lames I). Simon, who
presided at the trial, and request
un inquiry by a. canity commission
into the ire.se nt ment;il status or
Mrs. J,cboucf and Ur. iJreher. If
this move falls, counsel planned to
'apply to the tuti supremo court
to halt tho execution until a hear
ing ean be held.
Tho execution is set for Saturday
between noon and 3 o'clock.
The application for commutation
of the death sentence to lift; im
prisonment wiis rejected by Gov
ernor Long in a 0,tlU0-word state
ment, in which he cited tho brutal
ity of the murder. The statement
mentioned the Chicago I.eopohl
Loeb case as an example of the
evil of lift. imprisonment, wiving
that while "their cxIsU'ino In Jo Hot
penitentiary Is one uf pensure nod
abandonment," the result Is shown
by Chlengo statistics listing BUT
persons killed last year against -7(i
tho year before.
"Hut one thing remains." con
tinued the .statement, "iu wive this
country from an increasing crime

human life, an unswerving policy of
