GOES T0 CHAIR AS HE DENIES GUILT Paul Pappas Executed for Murder of Boston Woman Boston, July 14.—Paul Daskalakis, allas Pappas, was executed in the electric chalr in the state prison at 12:20 a, m. today. Just before entering the chamber Pappas reiterated to Rev.| William Bradley Whitney, prison | chaplain, that he was innocent of the | murder of Alice Arsenault of which he was convicted, He said nothing after entering the death chamber. He did not falter as he walked to thel chair. The crime for which Paul Dask-| alakis, alias Paul Pappas, was sen- tenced to die in the electric chair at the state prison was the murder of Mrs. Alice Arsenault, whose body was found buried under a pile of ashes in the cellar of a lodging house in the| south end of Boston, on May 11, 1020.| Pappas, who had bought the lodging house from the woman disappeared late in the previous December and the state charged that he had murdered her on or about Christmas day, 1919.| Pappas was arrested in Montreal in September 1921. He was sentenced to dle in the week of March 18, 1023, | His counsel offered no evidence in - fense, contending that the state had failed to establish Pappas’ gullt. Then began the long and unsuc- cessful fight for his life. The first motion for a new trial was denied, and in January of this year Judg~| Braley, of the supreme court denied a writ of error. In March Governor Cox refused a petition by a large delegation of Greek residents of this state for commutation of the sen- | tence to life imprisonment. lLater in| March the governor refused to gran a. stay of execution to permit the| investigation of alleged new evidence and on March 22 the superior court| denied another motion for a new| trial. The next day Judge Bradley announced that the full bench of| supreme court might hear the writ of error petition/ which he had denied, and the governor hastily summoned his council which granted a |‘Fpr|t’\'l“ until May 1. | In April the supreme court over-* ruled the petition for a writ of er- ror and the supreme court denied a final motion for new trial, made on the ground that was improperly defended trial and that new evidence showed perjury on the part of state witnasses. In this connection it was brought out that District Attorney Thomas C. O'Brien had expressed willingness to nol-pros the first degree part of the charge against Pappas and per- mit him to be sentenced to life im- prisonment, death Put a New Roof Over Any Type of Old Roof Quickly and Economically True Blue Liquid Asbestos will kind of roof.
