[United Press Association.—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.]
(Received this day at noon.) LONDON, April 7
Fox is unaware of the divorce action decided to-day. He is still maintaining his innocence. “I shall die an innocent man,” he told the last visitor to-day. It Was Fox’s own instructions there should lie no appeal. In a letter to his solicitors he wrote:—‘‘l had a fair trial. If it is justice that I die, then there Is nothing more to bo done. I accept the hard fate.”
A last minute petition of reprieve, from a Mission of Intercession, was handed into the Home Office on the grounds of mental instability.
