Death Sentence Is Carried Out
VANCOUVER (CP) — Life will end early today for Leo Anthony Mantha.
The 31-year-old tugboat man will die at 12:01 a.m. PDT (4:01 a.m. ADT) on the gallows at nearby Oakalla Prison farm for the murder of his friend, seaman Aaron Jenkins, 23.
Mantha’s last hope for a re prive was cut off Monday by a telegram from the office of Soli- citor-General Balcer in Ottawa. It read:
“The Governor - General in Council will not interfere with death sentence.”

He was sentenced to be exe- cuted March 17 but later was granted a reprieve until] April 28 while an appeal was heard. The appeal judges unanimously re- jected the appeal without leaving the bench.
Evidence was given at the trial that Mantha and Jenkins were homosexuals and were —_ to- gether.’’ Jenkins had wa to break off the relationship and marry a girl friend.
Smallwood As Session
By IAN MACDONALD
ST. JOHN’S, Nfld. (CP) — The Newfoundland Legislature re sumed sittings Monday after a five-week’ recess. But with Pre- mier Smallwood absent, the legis- lators spent a quiet day. No im- portant business came up.
The premier, centre of a na- tional controversy over union- curbing laws passed by the legis- lation, has been vacationing in Jamaica: He had been expected to be on hand for Monday’s ses- sion.
L. Strange (L—Port de Grave) said in the throne speech debate that the premier has had a “very hectic time’’ and appareii- tly “it don’t seem to be over.” He was referring to the Inter national Woodworkers of Americz (CLO) which struck the Anglo- Newfoundland Development Com- pany at Grand Falls Dec. 31.

Premier Smallwood later helped organize the Newfound- land Brotherhood of Woods-Work- ers (Ind.) union to replace the
