SENTENCED TO DIE
j ALLEN McNAMARA, CONVICTED
J OF ASSAULT, GIVEN EX-
TREME PENALTY.
' Memphis, Oct. 9.—Allen McNam-
jara, aged 23, was sentenced to death
j in the electric chair for his assault
upon Miss Mary Thompson, aged 17,
on the night of August 29. The case
| went to the jury at 4:30 o'clock this
I afternoon and the jury returned its
I verdict at 9:45 o'clock tonight.
I With staring eyes, McNamara list-
ened to Judge Richards slowly inton-
j ing his death sentence, but was suc-
cessful in his fight to control his
emotion. His only outward sign of
1 feeling was his labored breathing.
His young wife clutching to her
breast little Annie McNamara, their
2 year-old child, laid her head
McNamara s shoulder and wept.
Weighed down by a grief that left
her eyes dry, the doomed boy's moth-
er sat rigid in her chair.
The verdict causes no surprise to
those who had closely followed 'the
development by the prosecution of an
impregnable wall of evidence. .Mc-
Namara's defense was founded on an
excuse of drunkenness when he as-
saulted the helpless girl, after she'
had fought with him for more than
huahua will be entirely crushed and
its leaders will cease to be a factor
in Mexican politics, General Manuel
Diefiuez, Mexican federal command-
er of military operations in the north
ern zone declared today after he had
read a statement that a major of-
fensive would be begun by Villa.
"Villa is now at San Bartolo, Dur-
ango, with a force of eijrhty men,
which represents his entire military
forces," said General Dieguez, who is
here for an inspection tour along the
border.
"We the now developing a move-
ment by which the enemy will be
caught between two units of my
forces—one moving south, 2,200
strong under General Pablo Quiroga,
and the other moving north from
Durango, 1,400 strong under General
Miguel Laveaga.
"I have waited until today before
coming to Juarez with the good news
of Villa's impending overthrow, for
I do not wish to make promises that
I cannot fulfill. I am positive, how-
ever, that the end of the year will
see Villaism a thing of the past."
General Dieguez, who six years ago
was a common laborer in a Sonora
mine, has jurisdiction over the con-
stitutionalist armies in the states of
Chihuahua, Durango, Zacates and
part of Coahuila.

tionally bullish weather and crop ad-j
vices led to further active buying in'

sent prices into new high grounds for;
the movement. December contracts!

closing price of yesterday and 287j
points above the low level touched at '
the end of last week. A reaction to

steady at a net advance of 1 to 35

vance of 29 to 40 points on the re-
ports of heavy general rains in west-'
ern sections of the belt and bullish'
overnight advices. January soon sold |

active months generally showing net
gai"s (.f 3o to 50 points. January
reacted to 33.18 and March to 33.14
but the close was several points up
from the lowest on a report that kill-
ing frost had extended as far south
as northern Oklahoma.
The heavy i<ains reported in mo're
western sections of the belt in-
creased anxiety over the question off
better grades, while the low temp-!
eratures north of the belt led to ap-!
prehensions of a eold wave in the
south before the opening of the mar-|
ket on Tuesday morning. Liverpool!

many buying orders to this market;
