Jonah Tale Was a Whale of a Story | _ Can a whale nwallow a human be* inir whole? This oft-naked question | ib prompted by the story of Jonah. According to the King Jain** verxion of the Bible, Jonah was cast in1$ the sea by mariners and swallowed by "a great fish" prepared by the liOrd. After the prophet hud spent thine day# and nights in the fish's belly the l/ord ?p..ke to the monster, which thereupon vornite<l Jonah upon the land. In Matthew the fish n refer>ed to a# a whale, which is not a fish hut a mammal. The Bible, however, W I- wiitt-n when whale.s were tegardfl av fishes. That then- aie fishes and whales thai can sv ail *w a man whole is <11j 11o probable Must whales have small gu|,Jcts, especially those that ?t,cd on frusta ea For instance, the thio.il of, the blue whale, probably f he iatge#t *pceU:?, uiiiy abuuL mill! iJii.lics in dmmeti i ' Bui the sperm whalo or cachalot, which Iced# largely on cuttlefish, ha- a throat f.uge enough to .swallow a human being entire.

Stewart, of Iam Angelea -worth the risk of life itself?Thanksgiving day, in 11*27, when he joined other con* victs in a riot for freedom at Folsom prison, * Life was more desirable than freedom some months later, when Stewart went to trial with five others for killing two guards and eleven convicts. He turned state's evidence in an effort to save his nock; he was sentenced to death with the other live. He appealed and thus obtained a stay of execution. Now, the pendulum of emotion has swung back again. Stewart?the other five hanged? wants freedom via the gallows; freedom from the whispers of "squealer" that hound him throughout the prison. Ever since the trial, Stewart has heen scorned by fellow convicts. Anthony Brown and Roy Stokes were first to die. They went one Friday morning?Brown flicking a i cigarette as he asked the warden to | "make it snappy"; Stokes, little un| nerved 'by the clang of the trap uni <Yr R'own. i [ .uler Burke and Little James I tiregg vvi.nl the ful.owing.
