KINGSTON Telephone Toor WAXT ASS TO With Man About New Tork In January 1939, two men (Salva- "tore Gati and Charles Sberna) were executed for the murder of a cop named Wilson during a holdup on Fulton Street There was no doubt as to Gati's guilt he was the only man Sam Leibowitz (now a pudge) lost to the electric chair But onerna always ciairaeu niu-cence, and on the day of the burning Gati named another man as his accomplice On the evening of their execution Warden Lawes remarked to a reporter: "For the first time, I think, we may be sending an innocent man to the chair. I've done all I can to save him but nobody believes me." Sherna was never put right at the scene of the crime by witnesses.

They claimed only that he "looked like a man" they saw running away from the scene A few moments later "the other man" was arrested In Pennsylvania on a warrant charg-. ing him with the murder of another policeman (a Sergeant) in New York Now the plot sickens By this time, when witnesses of the first case took a look at the last man they realized he was really Gati's accomplice But the other kid was beyond saving and so the law had to free the accomplice without even trying him for the Sergeant's murder To do so would air the whole blunder And they couldn't try him for the first murder for which another man had already been put to death. The editors in this town can depend on me that all the above is true can't reveal the name of the source but he is one of the most respected ex-officials in the State of New York and wherever he is known elsewhere Sherna's family (and this I cannot prove), according to their intimates--has been staked by a "sort of a hush fund" the real killer, now free, is working for a union The above story will eventually be confirmed as definitely as death in the electric chair. The whole Disney-Congress fight Is foolish because he was paid in full by the Treasury Dep't several weeks ago From this col'm of Oct. 27th, 1941: "Ex-Warden Lawes will definitely run against Congressman Fish in the '42 elections, and the MASONIC TEMPLE bcbabtob Sunday, March 1st Glenn Miller With All EU Stan nd Entertaliian Adm.
