The youth's last chance for com- {mutation of his sentence to life im- prisonment was lost when Governor Donahey yesterday announced his in- tention to follow the recommenda- tion of the state board of clemency.

In the course of it, Senator Heflin, democrat, Alabama, demanded with. drawal of the marines and charged that an “unholy” alllance between “Wall street and the RKoman Catho- lic, hierarchy” in Nicaragua was keeping the troops there. Senator Bingham, republican, Connecticut, assumed the role of ad- ministration defender, arguing that this government merely was keep. ing its agreement with the warring factions of Nicaragua.
