A Girl Appeals for Clemency for Her
Brothers Murderer. and swoons When Il
IL Denied.
ALBANY, N. Y, April 12-"Happy Bob"
Van Brunt o member Of the Salvation
Army, will be hanged at Warsaw, N. T.,
tomorrow for the murder Of Frank Roy.
Bob was counting Eva Roy, Franks sister.
Frank objected, and In quarrel which re-
suited Bob shot and killed his sweet
hearts brother. An unusual scene was
enacted In the Governors room to-day In
connection with this case. Miss Roy ar.
rived here last evening, and this morn.
ing made an impassioned appeal to Gov
ernor Hill to commute Van Brunt's sen.
tence to Imprisonment for life. The Gov
ernor received her kindly, listened to her
appeal, went over the points in the case
and tried to show her how, as he saw II,
there was no ground on which Executive
clemency could be extended, and con.
cluded by saying that the law must take
its course, Mss Roy grew deathiy pale at
these words, and her head dropped end
she fell in faint A physician was sum
moned and restoratives applied. It was
half an hour before she recovered. Look
ing about her in dazed sort of way, she
cried, "Poor Bob, poor Bob" and
sank back upon the sofa In another
swoon. At last, finding that she recovered
consciousness only to relapse into uncon-
sciousness, it was decided to send her to
the hospital, which was done. Her eyes
were CLASSY, her face hot and feverish,
and she seemed oblivious to every thing
going on around her. The girl IL com.
pletely broken down, and there is no end
of pity for her. The belief Is general that
she is still in love with Van Brunt, though
she denies 1t and declares she hates him.
