CompeIIed to FulaI Her Pronice

LYECHBURG, Va, Dec. 24.-The follow
ing particulars OF a most extraordinary &C.
Currence have just been received: A
young girl named Kyler, Is years of age,
living near Graysou Sulpur springs.
GraYson county, was engaged TO marry an
Englishmen named RUdd, stopping at the
Springs. The time was fixed for the mar
when the girl changed her mind and re-
fused to marry him. The E1glishman
applied to Squires Alley and Frost for q
warrant to arrest the girl. They issued it
and the girl was brought before them to
answer the charges, whatever they were.
She refused to comply, but the justices
insisted that she must keep her promise
or 90 to prison. This frightened the girl,
and she finally consented and the cere-
mony was quickly performed. There is
no doubt whatever of the correctness of
the above statement.

Execution Postponed

ALBANY, Dec. Ex-Governor Hill to-
day issued an executive order pOstpOn-
ing the execution Of Mrs. RoxalinA Druse
under sentence of death for the murder
of her husband, from December 20, the
date fixed in the sentence. till February
%. The governor says he does this IN
order to give the state legislature an OPP
portunity to modify the law of capital
punishment In its application, and adds
Lhat as far as he is concerned the case is
closed and the woman must suffer the
penalty Of the crime on the day fixed un-
less in the meantime the law shall have
been changed. TIE governor says
is was 9 clear case OF murder,
and that he can find no reason for inter-
ference with the sentence except she sex
OF the condemned, which the law does
not take into account. He says the eVid-
ence shows that the killing was most
brutal and slr0cious in its character
The family consisted OF the deceased and
Mrs. Druse, the daughter, Mary, aged
nineteen yeare, the son, George, age ten
years, and nephew, Frank Gates, aged
fourteen years. A quarrel had occurred
in the morning Of the homicide between
the deceased and the defendant at the
at the table, and during the quarrel Of
words the defendant went into another
room anu took q loaded revolver which
was there, and putting iG under her
apron returned and whispered 70 the
boys to 20 out of doors, winch they did,
leaving herself, the daughter Mary, and
deceased in the room. Mary then placed
a rope around ner faIher's neck, while
he was at the table, and the defendant
fred the revolver once or twice az him,
WoundinR him, and ne fell over eli ieWAys
in his char, while the defendant, being
unable 20 make the revolver go off again
called 10 the nephew Frank, who came
into the house together with George and
Whereupoa the prisoner gave the revolV-
er TO the nephew and under threat of
killing him compelled hum to fire it on
two or three times, aud the deceased be-
ing hit by the shots rolled OF the chair
on the floor ami then the seized and axe
and hit her husband on she head with iC,
and continued hitting him on the neck
until she chopped hls head OF She
then caused the head a. well as the body
10. be taken into the psrlor, and during
that day and evening the body WAS Gus
up with an axe, and was burned in the
Stove. She threatened 10 kill
the boys II they told what
had occurred. During the evening Mrs.
Druse and Mary were amusing them
selves by playing checkers in the adjoin-
ing room where the murder had been
committed, thus showing the unconcern
and utter lack of feeling Of the whole
family. Mrs. Druse had previously made
threats against the deceased. There are
other facts almost too horrible for de-
scriptiOn. The daughter Nary aided and
assisted her mother in the murder and
pleaded gully 70 murder La the ee cond
degree. She was sentenced 70 states
