Collazo’s Death Set For October 26 Wife Says His Death Will Strengthen Not Weaken Puerto Rican Independence | WASHINGTON, April 6.—(A), —The man convicted of atiempt- ing to kill the President, Oscar Collazo, has been sentenced to die in the electric chair, October 26. There was no question about the penalty handed down today by Judge T. Alan Goldsborough. Death was mandatory when the jury brought back a verdict of guilty on two counts of first de- gree murder. One charged pre- meditated killing of a White House guard, Leslie Coffelt. The other charged that the killing took place in an attempt to assassinate the President When asked if he had any- thing to say. Collazo declared: “I am not pleading for my life. I'm pleading for my cause, Anything that I have done I did for the liberty of my country. I insist. even unto the end, that we have a right to be free.” Collazo, and his companion, Griselio Torresola, were members of an extremist Puerto Rican Na- tionalist group. The defense con- tended they were merely trying to demonstrate for their cause and had no intention of killing the President. Torresola was kill- ed on the spot. Collazo’s wife, Roas, heard the sentence without emotion. She told newsmen she will stay. by her husband to the end. She de- ‘ed that his death will strength- en, not eaken, the cause of Puerto Rican independence.

The 78 members present also gave a vote of thanks to the City Electric System and county commissioners for the company’s proposed expansion of service to the entire Lower Key area.
