Murphy attempted suicide this morning
by swallowing poison. They are in stu

not say how long it may take to restore
them to consciousness. Should they not

governor replied: eyes; go on with the
execution. Carry out the warrant"
The preparations for the execution begun
at 1903 o'clock, when the yard and cor
ridors were cleared of prisoners. Both
men were lying in their cots. Murphy
although his eyes wandered in all direc-
tons, he could not understand what was
going on. Only once did he return to
his senses, and then he held out his hand
to Ford and endeavored to shake hands
with him. This was only for an instant,
for he once more lost consciousness. The

pronounced to be powdered belladOnna.

upon the Mother Hubbard" which
has spread to nearly every city in the
country. The last chief of police to
distinguish himself in this way is
Speers Of Kansas City. He has issued
All order that Mother Hubbards''
shall be kept off the streets. 1t seems
to be tacitly understood all round
that belt or close fitting waist
should be an essential feature of the
large feminine apparel. Why the
police should take this stand and not
attack also the tell-taie pullback
skirts is what the social science club
will shortly ask Chief Speers to ex-
plain. Merely as a single question it
is not of such penetrating importance,
but as leading up to the thrilling gen.
eral issue of police regulation of
womankind's fancies, it is we'll worth
few weeks of communion between
Mr.. Speers and the social science
