SENT TO GAS CHAMBER, ASKS FOR LIGHT Los Angeles, June 2 (U.R) Just so there Is a "ray of light in my cell, I will be happy," 63-year-old Mrs. Louise Peete said tonight as she faced, unruffled, a sentence of death in San Quen tin prison's gas chamber. In 1920, the motherly-looking woman was convicted and sen tenced to life imprisonment for slaying Jacob C. Denton, whom she served as housekeeper. Yes terday the paroled murderess was doomed to death following her conviction this week of the bludgeon-shooting of her bene factress, Mrs. Margaret Logan, 67, who helped Mrs. Peete get a parole in the Denton case and later hired her as housekeeper. Mrs. Peete will be taken next week to Tehachapl Women's Prison . to await the State Su preme Court's review of her sen tence, expected to take irom nine months to a year. At Teha chapl she will renew old friend ships made when she served part of her IB years imprisonment for the Denton murder before being paroled. "If there is no sunshine, l will sing songs, write poems and read books, fill my time with something worth while," Mrs. Peete said cheerfully as she con templated the time to be spent at TehachBDl.' "I will live at least nine months or another year, and after that it doesn't matter."
