He bore himself stiffly, an odd smile on his face which twitched about unquiet iips and eyes reddensd from lack of sleep, His head he carrvied high as though to compensate for his behav for the day before when heholding the staring crowd on the rallway platform he dropped his head and hurried into a waiting automobile, Says Farewell To Mother The evening before he had been in the arms of his mother, a courageous flame of a woman who had battled unceasingly for her son. She had ar- rived in Valleyfield to bid her son the last adieu. She stayed with him, wept with him, smiled with him and cheer- ed him for the last time. Then she left for Huntington. Muir claimed that when he his pistol during the quarrel with Laviolette in the barroom he only meant to scare the man, He fired two bullets Into the floor, one of them glancing and striking Laviolette in the breast. A jury found Muir guilty and he was sentenced to hang last April. A reprieve was granted to permit an ap- peal. The appeal was dismissed, Countess Fights For Youth It was then that Countess Richelieu, formerly Miss Elinor Douglas Wise of Baltimore, opened her long unavailing struggle to free the youth, She can- celled all social engagements and en- listed in her fight men and women of prominence in Canada. In New York a committee under Miss Juliet Thomp- son has worked for Muir. These efforts extended to Washing- ton where through Howard C. Dick- inson, nephew of the secretary of state, the department of state sent a plea for executive clemency to the British embassy. The counsel at Ot- tawa was further requested to rein- force this plea by personal represen- tations. Workers on behalf of Muir based drew their appeal on his youth and the lack | of criminal intent. Last Letter To Mother. Before he walked to the gallows, Muir wrote this letter to his mother: “To my heartbroken mother, my poor mother; how you must be suf- fering since my death; but you must be brave and remember I died a good Christian and in a state of grace. Al- ways think of me, as I will be watch- ing and praying over you until you Jjoin me in Heaven. Tt was the will of God that I should leave this earth at this time. T am dying a happy death. 1 love you with all my heart and will pray to God always for you. Good- Lye, mother dear. May God bless you. Your loving son, Walter.” Muir was pronounced dead 14 min- utes after the springing of the trap. After the Inquest the body was claimed on behalf of relatives in New York, where burial will take place.
