BOSTON, August 13.—With death in the electric chalr a few short hours away, three men in the death house of Charleston State Prison last night received news that they still had 3 months to live. At the eleventh hour, Gov. Alvan T. Fuller, who previously had refused four times to stay the death sen- tences of John J. Devereaux, Edward J. Heinlein and John J. McLaughlin, granted the men respite until No vember 18 that the courts might pro- nounce on their appeals. They were convicted of the murder of James Ferneau, aged night watch- man of the Waltham car barn of the Middlesex and Boston Street Railway, in a hold-up. At the trial Devereaux admitted that he clubbed the watch- man to death while his companions were robbing the car barn office.
