Nora Cort, of Stanwood, the aged mother of Isom White, sentenced to hang Friday, came to the capitol today to plead for the life of her only son. Determined to win, and with every note of her voice denoting her strength Mrs. White declared she would not give up the fight while a minute's time remained. Acting Governor William J. Coyle has refused to commit himself as to what action he will take.

Pressure has been brought to bear upon him during the seven days that he has occupied the 'governor's chair in an attempt to secure a reprieve or stay of execution. Hundreds of telegrams from all parts of the state, asking for leniency have been sent and a large number of persons have visited the offices for the same, purpose. The plea for White's life is being based upon mental deficiency. While it is admitted that White Is not insane, his attorney and relatives declare he is not mentally responsible. The case has attracted interest since White murdered Lee Linton, taxicab driver, on November 19, 1919, and has been fought through every court of the state.

A stay of execution or pardon is the only hope for the condemned man now.
