Friends of Childers made a state- ment to the prees today saying that Mre. Childers received an officlal in- timation at 9:456 o'clock yesterday of her husband's execution. This, it {s stated, was the first notification she had that the execution was fixed for yesterday. The statement also declares that Childers was first told Monday morn- ing to prepare for execution, In the opinion of Many students of the Irish imbroglio, the execution of Childers will be likely to intensify the bitterness of the fight between the free state proponents and the republi- cans, Thus far, however, his deaf§ has nut' provbked any expressions of regret either from the old unionists, the old nationalists or the former Sinn Fein colleagues of Childers who are now supporting the government. The constant killing or wounding of national army soldlers, the destruction of property and other acts of violence incident to the campaign of the ir- regulars, which rightly or wrongly have been largely attributed to the influence of Childers, seems to have robbed the executed man of sympathy in any but republican quarters. ANNULMENT FAVORED PRIEST, HE CLAIMS Verdict in Suit in Newark Court. The Yollowing statement was made to a representative of the Herald. this morning by Rev. Simon Yonan, a Nes- torlan priest in regard to his recent matrimonial troubles: “A story appearing in the Herald on Wednesday of this week stated that Julla Mahanna of Newark, N. J.; won the annulment suit against me. Papers received show that I was the one who was successful in recelving the annulment of the marriage and I decree. “Vice Chancellor Church awarded the decree to me on my cross pe- tition .and not to the young woman on her petition, although both of us had asked for annulment.” PRINCE WAS HIT HARD Detroit Post Mortem Shows Evidence of Vicious Blow.

This was announced by County physiclans today as having been re- vealed in a post mortem examina- tion yesterday. Following the post mortem, the physicians said no marks of a blow had been discovered and said today that yesterday's discovery was kept from the public to permit detectives to follow clues arising out of the theory that Prince was slain. Wesley H. Pett, husband 'of the woman upon whom Prince and a party of friends called at her apart- ment, I8 being held by the police pending a further investigation. Pett returned home unexpectedly, it is said, and broke into the room where a party is sald to have been in pro- gress.
