Sheriff Bud Thom- ason, sworn in yesterday when Sheriff] ■ Hogan resigned, refused troops when lr I asked them of Governor Cruce, lias i I taken matters into his own hands. He ! lias an armed posse ready to advance] on Old Jay some time during the morn- ; ing, according to lhe latest reports from I the two towns, and has asserted that I lie will disperse the mob. As a preeau I tionary' measure, women and children j have been warned out of town, and] many of them already have left. Tlie condition of affairs Is so serious that Judge Pitchford last night appeal ed to Governor t’ruee to send troops that had been asked. The mob endeavoring to prevent making New Jay the county seat Is headed by Sam Boney, a Cherokee In dian. He has about 150 men under Ins I'ominund, mid they are all arftted, most of them with rifles.

IXTM 2 CENTS EVERYWHERE p^ c CLAY LISTENS iiIWTO !BUWOF GALLOWS Slayer Silent as He Is 1 in Box Cell of Death Chamber l in Fulton County Tower. LAWYER ABANDONS ALL HOPE OF SAVING Doomed Man Smokes rettes Incessantly as Hour of Execution Nears. ■« r t His silence unbroken and his express} slon of Imbecility unchanged, Robert L.l Clay, sentenced to hang at noon tomor-I row for the murder of his wife, Katlstu Hughes Clay, was taken from his celt on the second floor of the Tower thijc* morning and lodged in a little box of a.) room adjoining the death chamber. Over the condemned man was placed, l a death watch and within sound of his ears jailers busied themselves during" the morning with preparation for tht»l execution. Clay exhibited no interest] In the proceedings. He ate a heartj" * breakfast at 7 o'clock and smoke<u cigarettes incessantly, but to his jailers' he showed no sign of weakening. He sat silently In the cell straight ahead wtth his Jaw dropped.: and his eyes fixed—exactly as he has sat for four months, wearing what; three alienists have pronounced a mask of insanity. Doomed Man’s I Attorney Gives Up Hope. William M. Smith, the doomed man's attorney, said today that he had given up all hope of saving his client’s life. , The governor, he said, was the last re soxt, and when the chief executive de cided not to interfere with the sentence of the court Clay’s fate was sealed. Smith asserted that he hoped to have Dr. James Baird and Dr. S. H. Green make an examination of Clay today. H • said that Dr. Green had agreed to go to the jail and repeat his tests, but the at torney declared that the doctors’ exam inaion probably would bo unfavorable to the prisoner. He admitted that there was little or no chance to.prevent Clay’s death "There- is no chance to obtain a lu nacy commission to examine Slay," said Smith. “The law requires that a show ing be made before the governor if such a commission is to be named. I have been unable to make such a showing. Jailers Do Not Believe Clay Is Insane. “Not a single jailer or Jail attache or any person acquaint’d with the man's condition since he has been incar cerated was willing to sign an affidavit expressing the belief that he is insane. I went to the governor without a case because the doctors have maintained persistently thftt Clay was sound of mind and declared that he was sham ming insanity.” Attorney Smith 1s consistent In his belief that the prisoner is of unsound mind and has been so since the night lie went to the little cottage in Lee street and shot his wife to death. i Clay’s indifferent demeanor this | morning, when he was moved Into the I death cell, last occupied by George j Burge, a wife slayer, who paid for hfs. crime on the gallows a year ago. strengthens his lawyer’s belief that the 1 man Is insane. Shows No Emotion As Gallows Are Built. When Clay was told that he occupied | the cell last used to house George Burge, he made no sign. If he heard | tlie jail attaches in the gallows room busy with preparations he gave no sign. : Hxeept to light another cigarette and : smoke it slowly, he did not stir during | the morning. Sheriff Mangum announced today . S that tlie execution would be conducted fl ! in private in strict compliance with the I law. No person, excepting the author- | i iti'-s, will be permitted to witness a 1 Clay's death. The sheriff said that he had received hundreds of requests from morbidly curious persons to see the ex | eeutlon, but no admission tickets would ; be issued. 15-YEAR-OLD SLAYER ASSERTS HE WAS DRUNK SI'NBrRY.
