TIE HANGING OF WOMEN.
The Case of Ammo Cutler, Sentenced To
Death, Compared with Others.


philadelphia Press.
II Is impossible to refrain from more
or less irrational, but mt the same time
wholly natural, sympathy for the unhappy
girl Annie Cutler, who was recently SEN.
fenced to be hanged. She was ruined by
her lover, and when he left her She shot
him. Under these circumstances, or uu.
less there is some eStennaton of the he
trGyer's conduct, II is not often thata Jury
can bc found ready 60 convict a woman Of
murder In the first degree, in this or any
Other country, however deliberate may
have been the commission Of her crime.
Although many women have been tried
for murder in Philadelphia, none ever
paid the full penalty OF the crime. Seyen-
teen years ago Hester Vaughan, an I'm.
gllsh girl, convicted OF killing child Born
out OF wedlock, was sentenced 10 death
out was soon pardoucd and is still, so far
rs we know, enjoying life and liberty in
England Since that famous trial and
unill Annie Cut er's day the district NJ.
toriey IN this county has never been able
70 secure even the conviction of a woman
ior murder In the first degree. The de.
llperate killing OF William j Menow by
Eihma Bitkel under precisely the same
circumstances; the double murder of
Adelia Ridley, in 1865; the crimes OF Sarah
Franile, In 1885, OF Susan Greer, in 1870;
q barbara Hotter, in 1861; of Annie PEG.
