Guyot was sentenced to death last July for killing his beautiful mis- tress, Marie Louise Beulaguet, be- cause she wanted him to marry her. Guyot's lawyer, Maurice Garcon, visited President Doumergue today #nd made an eloquent plea for com- mutation of the¢. sentence. mergue promised to consider case during the week-end. “Not Premeditated” “I hope Guyot's, sentence will be commuted to life imprisonment at. hard labor,” Garcon told the United Press after he saw Doumergue. It is understood that the plea for Guy- ot's lite was made on the ground that the murder was not premedi- tated. Guyot lived in a luxurious flat here with his 17 year old daughter. He had been married twice. Both his wives had’died violent deaths, Three years ago Guyot met Marie | Beulaguet, a telephone girl in a little town near Paris. They fell in love, and Guyot used his influence to have her transferred to a Paris telephone exchange. He installed ber in & |little room across the street from his flat, On August 12, 1926, Guyot and Marie went by automobile to spend the afternoon at Meaux. They dined in a roadhouse at Claye-Souilly, on the Paris-Meaux roadl. The innkeep- er heard them quarrelling violently during the meal. Next day the girl's body, half burned, was found in a smouldering haystack a few miles away. Guyot was traced by means of the number plate on his automobile, which he kept in a Paris garage under an as- sumed name. Guyot disappeared. A few days later his father surrendered him. | It was learned that after the mur- der—which he admitted at a pre- liminary judicial hearing—Guyot drove his automobile back to Paris, | placed it in the garage and went to sleep in Marie's room. Killed in Anger Guyot claimed he had killed the ‘glrl in anger, because she had de- | manded that he marry her and give | her more money. But the prosecu- | tion contended the murder was de- {liberate. Asked why he had burned the girl's body, Guyot sald he drop- ped a match Into the haystack acci- [ dentally, after lighting a cigarette. Because of the burning, the jury re- fused to recommend him to mercy | when he was found gullty. | GNG GONGRATULATED the Local National Guard Units Com- plimented For Responsc to Mob- | flization Call. | A lelter cOmplimenting the three National Guard companies in this |city and other companies of the 43rd division has been received by {the officers in charge of the local | units from Major General, M.

Officially known as the New York county jail, the “headquarters” of the club was moved “uptown” to West 37th street last month from its old location in Ludlow street. There, since 1861, the old jail had borne mute witness of the arrival and departurc of many prisoners quite as famous individually as the alimony group which later became established there. The passing of the famous jail "| was noted but briefly in the inspec- tion report of the commission. said: “The removal of the jail gives de- cent quarters to the civil prisoners under the custody of the sheriff, and releases the old Ludlow street fail for a much-needed achool in that section.” “The commission does not believe that National Guardsmen should be quartered in the same jail with the alimony prisoners, and it recom- mends a protest to the state mili. tary authorities against the prac- tice, noting simply that “the dissd- vantages of these jails and impro- priety of sending this class of men to them has-been pointed out sev. eral times previously.” In another report covering the ‘Westchester county penitentiary also made public today, the commission declared that on the day of its in- spection, 12 prisoners were found to be “A.

Although a warrant charging him with first degree murder in connee- tion with the fatal shooting hgd been issued for Dr. Harry N.

Mrs. Gaudet died yesterday at the Hartford hospital while Dr. Guilfoyle, her fellow-victim of the double shooting which occurred st j the Guilfoyle apartment last Wed- nesday was in the hospital with & wound in his head that may cause total blindness. > Jealousy is Motive A definite motive of jealousy was established police believe when Mrs. Guilfoyle admitted that she had visited Mrs. Gaudet’s husband, Maximum Gaudet, in New Haven, four months ago and ded with him to break up the “too-familiar” relationship of Dr, Guilfoyle and Mrs. Gaudet. An autopsy perrormed on Mrs. Gaudet's body indicated that the bullet which caused her death had been fired from a position slightly above her and corresponding with the level on which Mra. Guilfoyle had presumably been at the time of the shooting.
