R, H- HILTON MttPter Kershaw County, IMPEACHMENT 18 SOUGHT ' Would Ouat Governor For Alleged Abuse of Authority Oklahoma City, Okla., Oct. 24.? I nveMigat ion by a njajcial session of the legislature of charges against the administration of Governor Henry S. Johnston and several state dejmrtmenis Will be demanded in a petition to be placed on the governor's desk tomorrow or Wednesday, M. K. Sullivan, secretary to the chief executive, said he had learned from authentic sources tonight. This development came swiftly on the heels of an announcement today from the governor's opponents that there were 09 signers of the petition, 14 more than necessary to call a special session. No additional word came tonight from the camp of the governor's political adversaries. Several members of the Oklahoma hoase have recently openly advocated an attempt to impeach the governor Tor alleged abuse of his authority. Sullivan said he had received reliable information that while 69 members had signed the call, 27 would withdraw if the governor did not approve it. The governor hps received no information as to the charges contained in the petition, Sullivan said, He understood, however, that the opposing side seeks investigation of six state departments. "We do not fear a special session when the petition is placed before him, the members will meet at their own call," said Thomas Knight, an active leader in the movement for a special session. "I have been so busy running the affairs of the state that I have had little time to listen to politicians 'who are asking my impeachment," Governor Johnston declared. "I do not intend to call the special session, as my decision now stands." First Bid Made In Snyder Case Albany, N. Y., Oct. 25.?Ruth Snyder and Henry Judd Gray have made their first bid for salvation from the electric chair. Counsel for the two appeared before the court of appeals yesterday to argue for new and separate trials for the murder of Albert Snyder in Queen's Village last spring. Resting their case on the single legal point that Mrs. Snyder's constitutional rights were invaded when she was denied separate trial upon first being brought to justice, her dounsel declared the trial was surrounded with incidents peculiar to stich spectacular affairs as prize fights and circuses. Counsel for Gray held his picture up for the court to see, as a helpless tool of Mrs. Snyder, who had been prevented from freely selecting a jury of his peers and for whom it was found impossible to obtain a jury wholly free from bias and prejudice. Counsel also denied that a motive for the crime had been established. Decision on the appeal is expected in six or seven weeks. I Lottery Sends ^outh To Firing Squad La Paz, Bolivia, Oct. 25.?In a lottery to determine which of four men should die for the murder ten years ago of former President Joe Manuel Pando, the youngest has drawn a black ballot which sends him before the firing squad. Although four men were convicted of the murder, Bolivian law permits of the execution of only one, no matter how many are implicated. To determine which one should die a drawing was held in the palace of justice yesterday. Fate decreed that the black ballot should fall to Alfredo Jauregui, who has spent ten of his 28 years in prison. Ten prisoners at the drawing seemed stoically indifferent to their fate, in contrast to the tensity and excitement of the spectators. The first three men to draw drew blanks. In the turn remained the one which condemned its holder to death. Jauregui reached in pulled out the fatal black ballot and laughed. He asked permission to speak and he declared he was innocent, but would not ask to be pardoned. He wanted to be executed, he said, so his blood would stain the justice of the. same public which protested th$ murder of General - Pando. As soon as the verdict became known several ' women hurried to the 'presidential palace , to ask a pardon'. The date of the execution is yet to be set. > Newark Signs Johnson Washington, Oct. 26.?Walter > Johnson tonight signed a three-year contract to manage the Newark club of the International league.
