dicted q few weeks ago, additional light is being
thrown on this mysterious case by the develop
ments OF the condemned woman, whose de-
meanor at the close of her trial underwent such
a change as justified the opinion that she would
become communicative as soon as she realized
the terrors OF her doom. When asked what
she has to say why sentence should not be
pronounced, she maintained her usual stub
was the last opportunity offered, she dis
closed the name of certain individual to
her counsel who held out hopes to her
thought proper to give on her mere assertion,
in view of the fact that she had before fre.
Williams, however, her mind has undergone a
total change. and as she begins TO look DER
that awaits her. the weakness of her nature
asserts itself, and she feels unable to bear the
great burden of the dread secret which op-
presses her. She has made some disclosures
within the past few days which implicate at
least one certain woman, and this part of her
story has all the appearance of truth The name
of this woman was furnished in confidence TO
the Herald, the authorities deeming 1t unwise
TO have 1t made public until the arrest of the
individual implicated. On the day alter the
commission of the murder, this woman left
the locality in g mysterious manner, aud
bert being aroused, he sent detectives to
hunt her up. II IS known that she
was Tor some Jlme In New 1orK city. Bridget
Dorgan now alleges that this woman aided in
the commission of the murder. She further
adds that Mrs. Coriell was lying upon lounge
with the right side of her face up when the first
blow was struck, and she then retreated to
back room, where a terrible struggle eusued, in
which Mrs. Coriell succeeded in wrenching the
knife from her assaiiants, and 1t was in doing
so she received the cuts on her hand. An
other knife was then procured by the MUIR
deress and the bloody work was accomplished,
after which the weapon was thrown into the
fire. Bridget refuses TO give any other names
in connection with the affair but IL is known
that the woman referred to received deep
scratches on her face on the night of the muir
der. which Will make her arrest matter of less
difficulty.
1t may be further stated that the Court of
PaTdons were unanimous In affirming the sem
tence Of the condemned woman; and the point
that weighed most against her was the reputa-
tion she gained for herself In deliberately con.
coctinR the ruin OF innocent persons, and at the
same lime dOggedly refusing to disclose the
names OF the real accessories, while boastlng
she possessed a secret she would not dtVulge,
Under all the circumstances, every statement
will be received with caution unless supported
by some palpable evidence Hitherto she has
not manifested much concern regarding the
future; her mind is so engrossed by some one
prevailing idea that IL requires an effort she
cannot command to divert IL 10 anything else.
Mary Giroy still remains In custody for trial.
