markable the amount of power she has appeared to pos-
to
over her feelings, or perhaps it would be more correct
say how little feeling she appears to possess. In ccave,r;
sation a week or two ago she remarked, " I shan't belivi,
I shall •be hung till I get the rope round ml upeacyt
now," and on another occasion remarked, "If they to ; it
to hang me I wish they' be quick about it, and sett,' ens
one way or the other." Although in most cases the 'eye
delay of 14 mouths under sentence of death would II •
worn out the convict with anxiety and suspense,
has suffered to all appearance but little. In fact she seller
devoid of feeling. The convict's third husband and
of
sister have had an interview with her in the prOselt?-ols

her execution seemed almost certain. The document Torte

vict remarked to a friendAhe other day "that several Pad
sons were trembling in their shoes about that Paper; is
that if the old woman was hung there were some lettb°ooo
existence that could be produced which would bring ad
crime to several parties." Some newspapers have her
food for comment on the statement that "Thrice h 3
