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

State's Witness Asks
For Execution
Freedom was sweet to Albert M.
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

I tiregg vvi.nl the ful.owing. Friday
! "lorning, both nonchalant to the end.
Stewart was paired with Eugene
Crosby. Crosby smilingly went alone.
He refused religious consolation.
as did the four others.
But Crosby was a poet and he left
this verse in his cell:
Judas betrayed Christ, the Master,
I hen hanged himself in abject
shame.
If Stewart had an ounce of courage
He would, in honor, do the same.
