Then came the first of the dramatic incidents that have kept at a high pitch interest in his effort to evade the gallows. His lawyer, in tears andekneel ing before the judge's dias, plead- ed for a chance to change the plea and fight for Scott's life be fore a jury. The plea was graute!, but it lead merely to Scott’s ccn viction and a new sentence of death. Through all the legal maneuvers possible under Illinois law, Scott has been kept alive despite four itional sentences of death in| arioua phases of the protract- tight Once it seemed safe from the noose ourt gession ad. the ed he might be when a mid decided that he should not go to the gallows before dewn because he had be- come insane since he was con- vieted. He then was sent to the state prison for the criminal in- sane at Chester, Il Institution officials, after long observation, concluded Scott was not insane and other alienists sub stantiated their finding. Scott was returned to the jur's- diction of Cook county and was declared sane by a jury. A new date was set for his execution. | Again the gallows was cheatel | when the state supreme court| remanded the case for, a new| trial.

He headed a Canadian firm organized to cou- struct a $30,000,000 bridge over ll,\a Detroit River, Associates disagreed with him over his business meth- ods and forced him out, and his rsonal fortune of §2,000,000 van- ished in settling his affairs. =%t He became a drifter, and Hitle was known of his affairs untfl, on April 2, 1924, he was arrested for the Maurer slaying. With Russel at the time, but not found until many months la- ter, was his brother, Robert, now serving a life sentence in the Illinois penitentiary of his plea of guilty to participation in the murder. He denied, however, that he fired the fatal shot. The fugitive Robert figured i:- directly in one of the reprieves g ted Russell. Just a few hours before Russell was to have been hanged July 17, 1926, Governor Len Small granted a week's re- prieve after receiving a telegram in which Robert purported to a.- cept responsibility for the slay- ing. The telegram later was found to have been sent by a Detroit telegraph operator, Noose Once Prepared Again the noose was prepared, but four hours before Scott was to have been hanged, his attorncy won his plea for a sanity hearing. After entering the penitentiary Robert changed his trial testimony and accepted responsibility lor Maurer's death, but officlals re fused to credit the late confession. Russell Scott’s defense has been marked by intercession ‘of the mayor and business men of Wind- sor, Ont,, with President Coolidge, the raising of a defense fund by Detroit clubwomen and the ex- haustion of the Scott family's re sources.
